CareFirst Therapists in Damascus, MD
If you are struggling with frequently feeling unheard, frustrated, resentful, exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious or angry, you have likely been struggling for some time. Do you feel that your partner is either too needy or avoids everything and you get so frustrated? Are you tired of nagging pointlessly? Do these challenges cause you to lose sleep at night and a need to find relief? These scenarios are your emotions and logic not adding up, therefore causing discomfort which is so common. In working on big picture issues by changing small, manageable behaviors or thoughts you can find that inner peace you are trying to find.

Through a non-judgement approach I work with individuals to identify issues presenting the greatest barriers to overall well-being and achievement of goals, assisting in developing real-world, practical strategies for addressing and overcoming these concerns. An initial appointment might involve an informal discussion, introducing the therapy process and identifying problem areas most in need of clinical attention.

Daytime availability only. If you find yourself exhausted from stress, dealing with shame, lack of sleep, panic attacks, isolation or just plain feeling bad about yourself, it could be time to try something new. If you feel like you don't want to be a burden to the people in your life by sharing your struggles, you are not alone. I love providing a safe space for people who haven't felt comfortable to open up with others, or have a hard time asking for help. I want to walk with you through the weird, embarrassing, and painful parts of your life so that you can find comfort, acceptance, hope and strategies to face your challenges.

Hi, I'm Katie.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, emotionally drained, or unsure how to feel better? Maybe you’ve been more reactive, irritable, or triggered — not just at work, but in the relationships that matter most. Life’s daily challenges, emotional burdens, and past experiences can leave you stuck in a rut, unsure how to move forward. I specialize in helping women break out of this cycle and reconnect with themselves. Together, we’ll identify unhealthy patterns, triggers, and routines — and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Let’s be real—life can feel like a lot. Between relationships, careers, family, and the pressure to “have it all together,” it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. If you’re in transition—starting or ending a relationship, shifting careers, or someone who shows up for everyone else but forgets themselves—you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a space where therapy feels less like an interview and more like a genuine conversation—filled with compassion, curiosity, and sometimes even laughter. As a Navy veteran, mom, and therapist who’s sat on both sides of the couch, I get how scary and exciting growth can be.

It is time for you to be empowered, time for you to leave your worries at the door, time to create a safe space to process your stressors, and redefine your feelings/thoughts/distress. I have been a therapist for over 10 years and believe that therapy is a team approach. You have the voice to work together to create your own new path. Each person is unique and the therapeutic approach should be that way as well. I do not believe in therapy being a "one shoe fits all" approach and as a result I am more of an eclectic therapist.
