Therapists in Baltimore, MD
Women carry so much. The invisible mental load (whether balancing fertility treatments, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or daily responsibilities) can become overwhelming. You may have been encouraged to shrink yourself to make others comfortable, but there’s no award for suffering silently. Asking for help isn’t giving up, it’s giving yourself the care you deserve.
If you’re navigating infertility, IVF, reproductive challenges, pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustment, or body image struggles, I see you, I believe you, and I’m here to support you. Your story is valid, and it deserves individualized, compassionate care.

Putting yourself first can be one of the most difficult things one can do. If you have found yourself here, that means you have made a decision to invest in your well-being as a whole; mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Facing struggles in life can be scary for everyone! I believe that with the right tools and a deeper understanding of oneself, we can all move through life with more compassion for ourselves and others.

Welcome, I provide convenient telehealth therapy to join from home.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood and challenged to grow. Together we'll explore what's happening today and the patterns shaping your thoughts. Maybe you're constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, procrastinating, or carrying responsibilities for everyone else while neglecting your own needs. Perhaps you know what you "should" do, yet find yourself repeating the same patterns.
Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating and a brief consultation gives us the opportunity to discuss your stressors and answer your questions.

I became a therapist after many years working for public and private schools. I focused on special education and students with emotional and behavioral issues. I often work with families and individuals who have become stuck or have practiced habits that are negatively impacting their lives. I focus on a cognitive based approach to treat anxiety and depression. If you are stuck and need support with finding a new approach then therapy may be for you.

I started my work at an outpatient healthcare clinic in Baltimore City primarily assisting those who were unhoused. During this work, I partnered with many diverse individuals. As I got to know them and our relationships developed, I realized how valuable it was to spend time with them in their communities and to understand their backgrounds. I developed a deep appreciation of how challenging it can be to share your story with others. This is why I feel a profound calling to walk alongside individuals as they heal from trauma and navigate major life upheavals.

Hi! I'm Mike and I've had the privilege of working as a psychotherapist providing evidence-based treatment to adults since 2019. Most of my clients' success stories began once they noticed distressing feelings such as "not being myself," "meaninglessness," and "panic about the future;" these kinds of existential and relational crises are particularly difficult to manage in isolation. Over the years, I've learned that parents and professionals experiencing burnout, traumatic stress, cycles of self-sabotage, relational/sexual abuse, and "spiraling thoughts" tend to thrive in treatment with me.

I work with members of the LGBTQIA+ communities, and folks who have complex sexuality specific trauma or concerns, to include anyone who might be exploring their identity, working through societal pressures or concerns as it relates to their LGBTQIA+ identity and managing grief or loss as it relates to changes or transition in acceptance of their LGBTQIA+ identity. Additionally, as a Black, bisexual clinician it is important for me to show up for my clients with respect and sensitivity to their intersectional identities, as many of my client hold more than one marginalized identity (i.e. race, sex, gender, social, economic, etc.).
