Bisexual Therapists in Bel Air, MD

“It wasn’t that bad. I should get over it.” Does that sound familiar? Many people shame themselves for being hurt by the past. Shame doesn’t stop the suffering, regardless of what caused that pain. I am a therapist committed to helping people overcome stressful or traumatic experiences so that they can live better lives. Working with me involves finding the root of the problem, like when your inner critic first took hold, and weeding it out. I primarily use EMDR for this, which allows people to process the trauma without having to give details about it.

My ideal client is ready for change. They're open to self-reflection and understanding in order to have a better, happier, and healthier relationship.

Feeling isolated, alone, or frustrated due to this current pandemic? Are you stuck in a “rut” with no direction? As humans we sometimes experience these feelings and struggle to move forward.
