Teen Therapists in Monkton, MD

Support and insight offered from an outside perspective can spark change. I believe that your personal strengths and knowledge of self are your biggest assets, and that therapy offers an opportunity for you to discover, or rediscover, your internal resources & make the most of them. I specialize in supporting clients to navigate life changes, manage stress and anxiety, address relationship challenges and process grief. I enjoy working with individuals looking to improve their relationship with themselves and am rooted in self-compassion and health at every size framework.

Accepting new clients! A certain amount of worrying is normal, right? Anxiety and fear keep us out of harm’s way. However, it no longer serves us when anxiety and fear rule our days and nights, preventing us from living our lives to the fullest. Transitioning through life stages can bring about feelings of distress for all ages. I specialize in working across lifespans - adults, adolescents, & children. I am well trained to address distress built through anxiety, as it correlates to depression, self-esteem, and trauma processing. I can help strengthen confidence in one’s ability to succeed with change.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or sad, know that reaching out for help is the first step towards healing. I understand that stressors and transitions can easily become overwhelming, and I can help you address the anxiety and negativity brought on during challenging times. My training in trauma, grief & loss, cultural diversity and spirituality provides me with tools to help you explore what may be compounding or affecting your difficulties. I have particular interest in helping women address unique challenges complicated by societal expectations, multiple roles, and life cycle changes.

My style has been described as innovative yet practical. I work with clients to develop healthier ways of coping with life and creating more satisfying relationships. A non-judgmental, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential. Experiential learning and educational materials provide the basis for lasting change. Areas of skill building include, emotional regulation, grief relief, living with anxiety, depression, healing trauma. Relationship skills involve communication, conflict resolution, keeping love alive and refining commitment. Methods include Mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, body centered therapy and desensitization with EMDR (www.emdria.org). The work of therapy becomes the joy and satisfaction of living.

Accepting new clients! Life can be challenging sometimes. We work tirelessly to achieve goals, attain our heart's desire, and be successful. We yearn for purpose & meaning in our lives. It is through these aspects that we have a greater understanding of our self-efficacy and resilience. However, we reach a crossroads where we feel misunderstood, alone or unsure of where to turn. It is in these moments, where finding someone to accompany you throughout your journey can be necessary to propel you forward. As a therapist, I'm passionate about the human spirit, and I care about what happens to you & what you are experiencing.

Accepting new clients! Are you experiencing stressful changes and feeling unsure of how to navigate the unknown? Have you been hit hard by trauma or grief and find it difficult to stand up again? Are you and your partner dealing with issues in your relationship? If so, you've come to the right place. Therapy is not easy, and change is not linear. In a society that says no to vulnerability, therapy is one of the most courageous yet rewarding journeys that one can take. That said, changes are not always the focus of therapy. Sometimes, we need therapy simply because life’s adversities are not supposed to be dealt with alone!

My clients are teens and adults interested in addressing challenges related to anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma. My clients are willing to do some work between sessions, as they understand that progress does not happen in a vacuum of the therapy room. I enjoy pulling from a variety of treatment modalities but do not necessarily use one specific approach and my clients will be interested in doing the same, along with examining how their lifestyle & behavior may connect to their mental health
