Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Crofton, MD

We all know the story of the straw that broke the camels back. Was it really the straw? Or was it that no one bothered to unload the camel of all of it's other burdens? Far to often in life we carry around our stress, trauma, fears, pain, and a host of other unhealthy baggage. Therapy can be a great tool for allowing us to unload, and work through the things we've been holding on to. I am a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) specializing in depression, mindfulness skills, & trauma processing. I am here to help you unpack, work through those experiences, and develop skills to manage whatever life may throw your way.

***EMAIL FOR A QUICKER RESPONSE***I believe all of us go through challenges and emotional pain throughout our lives that require non-judgmental insights to guide us through the healing process. We begin to manage our challenges and emotional pain in a healthier way by approaching them with curiosity and compassion rather than judgement and criticism. As a therapist, I am passionate about facilitating change with my clients by providing psychoeducation on psychological and emotional issues and a safe space for them to explore and understand their challenges.

You have taken the first step to healing, take a moment to recognize the strength and courage this took. I have been practicing therapy for over 15 years focusing on the mental health of women. My passion is to assist women in becoming a healthier, happier version of themselves. I have worked with women who experience symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and addiction. Through my work I have gained exceptional knowledge of how trauma reverberates through our lives and relationships. My role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to tap into your intuitive and instinctual abilities.

I deeply believe that each person has an inherent desire for growth and healing. Clients bring their personal issues, communication needs, self awareness, healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, complicated grieving, and spiritual needs to counseling. I believe that clients want to improve the quality of their life through counseling.

Relationships can sometimes hit a rough patch as life has a habit of "getting in the way", adding stressors that even the strongest relationships find hard to navigate without professional support from time to time. Sometimes it can be challenging for a couple to be kind or thoughtful of each others needs or find the time to talk about current problems without escalating the issues. It is not uncommon for couples to experience problems listening to each other or enjoying each others company. I have helped hundreds of couples find their way back to the loving relationship they want and need!

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who have a desire to improve their quality of life through personal growth and behavior change. I utilize evidenced-based and best practices to address the underlying factors of an emotional problem, regardless of what emotions are most distressing to you - anxiety, anger, depression, shame, loss, distrust, guilt. I am here to assist you in your journey for improved health and well-being.

Dandelions are often considered weeds and a nuisance, but did you know that dandelions are one of the first flowers to pop up after a long winter? They are capable of growing in the most dark and difficult of places with little nourishment. When they are ready to die, they make sure to send their seedlings off in the wind to have a fresh start. We are often like these plants when in need of help. We feel like weeds and bothersome, but when given the opportunity we can be hidden gems waiting to shine. Revitalize yourself!
