Therapists in Calvert County, MD

I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, relationship distress, identity development, perfectionism, and managing change. One area of specialization is working with current and former athletes, coaches, caregivers of athletes, and individuals in high-stress jobs, particularly individuals who experience physical injury, burnout, relationship issues on and off the field, performance anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and body image concerns. My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive and collaborative space and relationship with my clients to allow for in-depth exploration and perspective taking.

Problems like depression and anxiety can hold us back from living the life we want. Therapy can be challenging but the rewards are often worth the investment. Through therapy we can learn to change habits (thinking and behavioral) that no longer serve us and learn to accept and face life’s difficulties rather than avoid them. My role is supporting you in envisioning and working towards a fulfilling life. I work to create a warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where you can be comfortable expressing and challenging yourself.

Have your experiences with others have made it impossible to trust and accept the care you know you deserve? Have trauma, fear, and doubt prevented you from being the person you know you can truly be? The pain of feeling deeply misunderstood can be haunting. You are finally ready to feel some relief, because deep down you know that you have so much more to offer the world. I want you to know that you are allowed to feel important and valuable– to have your authentic self welcomed and cherished. It's time to take a chance on yourself, to test the waters, and to become the person you want to be.

Whether you are experiencing a change or wanting to make one, the therapy process can help you through it. Finding a therapist that fits your needs is important. I work hard to meet clients "where they are" in making change, and approach therapy in a non-judgmental, transparent, collaborative, authentic, open, warm, and direct manner. I prioritize open dialogue about our therapy process to ensure you are getting what you want from our work together, and invite client feedback to hold me accountable to providing good clinical service. I am an active therapist, and see my role as guiding clients through an often unfamiliar process.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by your emotions? Do upsetting, intrusive thoughts stop you from being fully present? Do you feel disconnected in your relationships? I can tell you that you're not alone, and you have it within you to build the life you want. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, emotion dysregulation, and thoughts of suicide and self-harm. Together, we can get you unstuck and back in the driver's seat of your life. You and I are a team!

Now accepting NEW clients — Feelings of anxiety, depression, and grief are totally normal responses in these difficult times. My goal as a therapist is to guide clients through whatever is keeping them from living their happiest lives — whether the issue is more recent/due to COVID, or a deeper issue that has been draining someone’s energy for years (or a lifetime). I operate from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective to help clients understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I help clients develop strategies to mitigate OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma/PTSD symptoms that interfere with their well-being.

Welcome! I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and feel grateful to be able to understand the experiences and raw emotions that clients bring into session. I play an active, non-judgmental role, working collaboratively to find ways to cope with and/or change maladaptive symptoms and life stressors. I meet clients where they are in order to cultivate growth and change.
