Therapists in Catonsville, MD

I provide mental, emotional and practical support to women throughout the perinatal continuum of care. My aim is to create a safe and welcoming environment where women can intimately explore and gain skills needed to navigate the most challenging, yet transformative seasons of their lives. I believe that though life transitions can be tough, they offer unique opportunities for growth. I also believe the practice of extending yourself grace through your journey of healing optimizes mental and emotional health. I cater therapeutic interventions to each client, recognizing we all have very unique needs.

*I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Everyone has a need for acceptance without judgment.

I am dedicated to helping those who have experienced trauma, whether it be a single incident, episodic trauma or chronic trauma, and help guide them on their path to healing and recovery.

Life can be a struggle because of our internal and interpersonal difficulties. It can also feel daunting to reach out to another for help. The courage it takes to reach out is already the change process in motion in your life. My approach focuses not simply on the shame, guilt, anxieties, doubt and traumas that bring you to psychotherapy, but what is right and where is the glimmer of change in your struggles and traumas. I address traumatic experience, grief, addiction, emotional disturbances, life adjustments, and interpersonal stressors. I specialize in addiction recovery, PTSD and emotional disturbances, and personal growth.

Do you keep getting an uneasy feeling that you can't put words to? Do you struggle to be yourself? Do you constantly need to be doing something? Do you overthink what you will say, did say, or want to say? You are not alone. We live in a society where we're told we "should" be this and we "shouldn't" be that. It can be exhausting when we just want to be. During therapy, I strive to provide a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel safe to be their authentic imperfect self. My clients know that I will unconditionally support them while also holding them accountable to growing towards the person that they want to be.

Has there been a time in your life when you just needed somebody to listen? Someone who wouldn't judge or make you feel that you're wrong? Someone who could help you see a way through a problem? None of us are immune to problems in our lives. Every one of us carries wounds. It's part of the package called Life. Yet how we think about our problems affects how we experience our problems. I would be honored to work with you as you manage some of the ups and downs you experience on Life's great journey.

If your are suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, OCD symptoms, depression, or the effects of a psychological trauma, you may have been looking for help for a long time. Maybe you have been drinking or engaging in other forms of self-medication. Maybe someone close to you has encouraged you to get help, or maybe your problems have become so unbearable that you realize its time to seek help. Maybe you have seen other professionals, but are still unsure of your diagnosis and can't see a path forward. Maybe you have tried medication and didn't get help there either. You need real help.
