Therapists in Baltimore, MD

You’re stressed out and feeling uneasy a lot of the time. This is showing up mentally and physically, perhaps through aches and pains. You’re unhappy with your current life situation and you’re not sure why; or you’re dealing with a big stressor that is creating a lot of problems and conflicts for you. The things that you’re currently doing to feel better aren’t working for you. Maybe you are drinking alcohol or using drugs more than you would like to. You are fed up feeling this way and are ready for a change.

I believe that feeling heard, understood, and validated is the first step to a therapeutic relationship in which growth to one's potential can occur. Recognition and affirmation of strengths is important to my approach. Being sensitive to an individual's life experience is central to good work. I focus on one's feelings, thoughts, stressors and resources, as well as try to understand the history from which issues evolve. I apply a variety of approaches including cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and psychodynamic. I have many years of experience working with individuals with a wide array of concerns.

Depressed? Anxious? Relationship issues? Anger? Are you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with daily life? Do you feel that no one truly understands how you are feeling? Do you keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Is life chaotic and you feel that it's out of control? Nothing is in order and you do not know where to start. Do you just need one day of peace? Are you looking for balance in life, self love, acceptance and personal growth?

People reach out to therapists for many reasons – to help them recover from pain and loss, to decrease emotional distress, to gain insight about thoughts and feelings, to enhance skills needed to improve relationships, and to navigate challenges. Therapy provides a collaborative space for healing and positive change.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic and feminist. I believe that mind, body, spirit, community, culture, and institutions are all essentially interwoven into the issues that we face. I don’t think that anyone is broken, and I don’t think that therapy is about fixing yourself. Instead, I believe that people get stuck in undesirable patterns, and therapy is an opportunity to discover new, flexible approaches to outdated ways of relating with ourselves and others. At this time, I am available for working individually with adults, particularly those suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma-related issues.

People want and need to be understood. Without moments of understanding, life can feel mundane and confusing. I am passionate about helping clients in discovering and honoring goals and values, while navigating life stressors. Through providing a validating, genuinely authentic safe space, clients will build a sense of trust, resilience, and grounding within themselves.

I offer person-centered, trauma-informed art therapy and psychotherapy. My multifaceted experience lends me an adaptive approach in supporting each individual's goals in a supportive, non-judgmental manner. Sometimes that involves art-making, sometimes conversation, often both. I personally understand the transformative capacity of creative expression, and enjoy guiding people through that process. I am passionate about the neuroscientific reasoning behind human experiences, habits, patterns, and responses. I find art an invaluable tool in illuminating and facilitating that reasoning.

Why do most people come to a therapist in the first place? Because they want a better life. It's a brave thing to do- to realize that you want more for yourself and to take the step to begin making that wish a reality. Sometimes people come to me with a specific problem, and sometimes just because they're tired of feeling disappointed with life. Whatever the reason, we begin the process by sitting down together and looking at what is bothering you.

I understand the importance of building a strong therapeutic foundation by providing a supportive and accepting environment that allows individuals to be open without fear or criticism.

It takes a village. The Womb Room began out of love in 2015, by a Mom looking to provide space to connect and support pregnant and postpartum people through yoga. To be the village.

My clinical approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, meeting each individual where they are and trusting that they are the experts of their own lives. I incorporate psychodynamic, emotionally focused, and CBT approaches to help people achieve their therapeutic goals, and have experience working with trauma, depression, anxiety, sexuality, self-esteem and LGBTQ+ individuals. I am particularly passionate about working with teens and young adults who are experiencing life transitions, developing and exploring their identities, and facing new challenges.

For over five years, I've had the privilege to work with children & adolescents who struggle with managing a variety of mental health disorders, such as Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and more. Most of them have a history of trauma exposures, including community violence, grief/loss, abuse, or separation/divorce. These life experiences often cloud their worldview and judgement as well as their ability to trust others and capacity to regulate their emotions in order to cope with these challenges. They yearn for new social, communication, conflict resolution and coping skills to apply every day so they can live happier, healthier lives.
