Attachment-based Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I work with individuals who seek healing and growth. I help these individuals explore their thoughts and feelings; develop insight into themselves and new perspectives on their concerns; and find the courage to act in new ways. I also help couples transform their relationships from distressed and disconnected to secure and connected.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, directionlessness and disconnection. I utilize Western, more traditional modalities to address anxiety and depression, as well as Buddhist concepts and approaches to dive into topics such as lack of direction, struggling with overwhelming emotions, and creating an internal sense of calm and peace, regardless of what is happening in your family, at work, or in romantic relationships.

I love working with both individuals & couples- mostly millennials & genZers, adults (18-60), teens (15+).

I specialize in issues related to low self-esteem, perfectionism, adulting, burnout, imposter syndrome, communication issues, relationships, boundary setting, gender identity and exploration, women's issues, chronic illness, invisible disabilities, ADHD and HSPs.
