Lesbian Therapists in Severna Park, MD

It is important for an individual to be free from the fear that does not allow one to reach a place of understanding and self-acceptance. Whether it is struggling with a past trauma, loneliness, anxiety, anger, fear of not being accepted, feelings of being “too much” or “not enough”, I practice from a place of compassion and non-judgement. When a client expresses, they are ready for a change, I will “meet them where they are at” in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with diverse populations, at any stage in life, including individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Life can be complex and challenging, while often making sense of experiences and searching for answers can be difficult. Finding the right path is not as easy when dealing with complicated situations in life. You’re looking for the right answers, searching to find your way, trying to help someone or feel stuck. You are not alone. Recognizing your strengths through additional support can help you achieve balance and wellness.

I am happy you're here. The therapeutic process begins with the search for a therapist. The task can be intimidating and scary. Whether it be with me, or another therapist, you deserve help. I would love to help you find it. I will work to develop a nurturing relationship with you and I'll provide a safe place for you to be open and honest. I have experience helping clients cope with depression, trauma, anxiety, parenting issues, social struggles, self-esteem deficits, relationships, and other interpersonal concerns. Though I take a direct approach with my clients, I will meet you where you are.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have extensive experience working with children and adolescents with attention and behavior problems, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum symptoms, trauma, and self-harm behaviors. I enjoy collaborating with schools and treatment providers to create a comprehensive approach to a child's care and have advocated for children with unique academic needs in private and public schools.

I also provide assessment and treatment of adults of all ages and have experience treating anxiety, depression, bipolar spectrum disorders, personality disorders, stress and trauma.

Achieve Balance is a home-based agency rooted in the intention to provide compassionate strengths-based care. This intimate practice is the manifestation of my belief that all people should be treated with dignity and positive regard as they take the steps they see fit to reach their potential. Maintaining a straightforward, results-focused approach to therapy, I engage clients in evidence-informed practice that unfolds at their own pace. I strive to provide my clients with a warm, comfortable atmosphere, where they can be free to engage fully in the work at hand.
