Therapists in Severna Park, MD

Thank you for looking at my ad and considering the process of psychotherapy/counseling for your life. Many of my new clients have spoken about the anxiety they experienced when they decided to seek additional support through a therapist. I have come to recognize that this anxiety mostly comes from each client really hoping they can find the right match for themselves. Hopefully this brief biography will facilitate your decision about whether we could match up nicely. Please review my website which will provide you with a greater understanding of my experiences.

I strive to create a peaceful accepting space for you to process whatever heaviness you have been carrying around. Therapy should be a place where you feel grounded even in the midst of chaos and struggle. Everyone deserves to be seen and fully accepted for who they are in this world, I hope that I can provide that for my clients. Making the decision to seek therapy often doesn’t come from just one thing, it’s a combination of our past, present, and possibly future. We will explore all parts of you to understand who you truly are and help you become your most authentic self.

Hi there. I'm a Johns Hopkins trained, board certified therapist and I would be honored to work with you. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor. I bring to the table my years of clinical experience, as well as my caring and commitment to you, I ask only that you bring an openness to begin looking at your challenges. Together we will identify your goals and come up with a plan to achieve them. In a safe and compassionate environment, I'll provide you with a personalized therapeutic approach tailored to your unique circumstances.

I consider it to be such a privilege to be able to work with clients at the most difficult times in their lives, and to travel the journey with them through recovery, healing, change and self-awareness. I aim to help each client with their own work toward strength, toward purpose, and toward restoration.

The truth about recovery is that it's a process. Just like life itself. It's forever changing and moving forward. Healing never has to stop. There is always more we can recover and grow from, becoming more whole along the way. Recovery is a form of discovery. Recovering parts of ourselves that had been cut off means they are finally revealed to us, and we discover something new about ourselves. We discover that we are greater than we were before. More aware of our inner strength and resources, we become empowered. I hope that you discover true healing and what recovery can be: Internal peace and serenity can happen.

Welcome everyone. I am excited to meet you. Life can be tough. The everyday demands of school, family and our careers can be overwhelming.

We cannot always control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond and look after ourselves. Let's work together, develop a plan for you, and create the life you want!
