Interpersonal Therapists in Perry Hall, MD

Couples' sessions for parenting couples ready to improve their relationship, communication, and overall dynamics as they navigate and deal with the stressors of everyday life. I work best with motivated couples who are ready to learn and practice some new skills so that they can create a smoother, healthier and balanced relationship -the foundation of home and life - allowing them to be a good example to their kids, as well as perform better at work. It can be hard to make time to talk about the relationship, and investing in time just for that can make a major difference!

My goal as a counselor is to provide support and guidance for people who want to make positive changes in their life. I provide counseling for a variety of life's problems including anxiety, depression, relationship issues and general life stressors. I have specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of OCD, panic, agoraphobia, social anxiety, and specific phobias. I approach treatment as a collaborative process between the client and myself; utilizing integrative, evidence-based interventions like ERP, ACT, CBT, and mindfulness. I also offer inference-based CBT, a evidence-based, non-exposure treatment for OCD.

I believe that people are naturally resilient. Therapy offers an opportunity to boost resilience by nurturing awareness and finding greater strength and fulfillment. Most of us have found ways to manage stress, but the things that worked in the past might not work today. We often feel stuck. I seek to provide a space for observation, reflection, and exploration so that new narratives and choice can emerge. Understanding linkages between early, implicit learning experiences, including attachment patterns, and present modes of thinking and behaving is key to sustainable growth and change. Together we'll address your personal goals.

Life gives us challenges- often unexpectedly. When that happens we can feel overwhelmed, sad, anxious, angry, lost, or frustrated. We can struggle with the next steps of how to start feeling better. All challenges hold within them opportunities and I'd like to help you as you discover them. I am skilled in helping my clients meet the goals they set. Together, let's figure out how to cope with what is occurring, better understand yourself in the midst of it, develop deeper strengths, learn new skills, and make the choices that feel best for you. Big changes and big challenges can make us feel alone, but you aren't.

I believe prioritizing mental health is essential to our well-being and I have a true passion for helping others feel validated, accepted, and supported on this journey. Are you seeking peace from anxiety, relationship struggles, difficulties with life transitions, low self-esteem, body image or other life challenges?
