Therapists in Lutherville, MD

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Therapy is a highly personal and emotional experience. My experience includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, isolation, substance use, grief, loss, abuse, neglect, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, gender issues, relationship and/or family issues.

Teens (13+) and adults gain insight and skills to decrease or eliminate anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, grief, that make school, relationships, work and everyday life difficult. We'll explore the impact early life experiences, relationships have on identity, thought, behavior and mood. We'll replace or reframe thoughts and interpretations, learn positive behavioral skills, develop healthy relationships and learn mood regulation. We'll identify triggers, understand how past experiences affects and informs the present, improve ability to regulate, and uncover patterns/trauma that impact you and implement new behavior patterns.

Trauma leaves you feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected. You want to appear put together, but deep down you are struggling to manage your intense emotions. You tear yourself apart every time you mess up or feel like you’re about to crumble at any second. At this point, maybe it’s hard to even remember a time you didn’t feel like this.

You’re ready to heal your relationship with your body and yourself but also with the people around you. You’re ready for a new “normal,” and I can help you get there.

Hi. How are you coping? Life keeps changing so drastically. It doesn't seem real. So many existential questions come to mind, for instance: how will I stay safe?; who's in charge?; what does the future hold? It makes sense that we feel sad, worried or even out of control. This is normal under the circumstances. What gives you joy and peace? What about: sticking to the facts; not panicking; limiting the news; laughter; hobbies; spirituality; loving family, friends and pets to the fullest? Talking to a counselor can also help. I'm available for in-person and virtual sessions. Virtual is convenient, safe and insurance covers it.
