Brainspotting Therapists in Baltimore, MD

It takes a village. The Womb Room began out of love in 2015, by a Mom looking to provide space to connect and support pregnant and postpartum people through yoga. To be the village.

In the intricate web of modern existence, where complexity thrives and our social circles contract, the vitality of our relationships, partnerships, and unions is elevated to unprecedented significance. As a practitioner deeply immersed in contemporary Jungian insights and inspired by the relational wisdom of Ester Perel, I serve as a guide—a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist—committed to navigating individuals, couples, and families toward the realization of profound and nourishing connections.

I am a trauma-focused therapist and specialize in assisting individuals who have experienced any variation of an overwhelming life experience. We all go through experiences at times that are overwhelming and difficult to navigate.

Where would you be if you permitted yourself to say “yes”? Yes, to growth, to healing, to finding your happiness and strength. I have extensive training in trauma-based techniques and models. As your therapist, my goal is to empower you to identify patterns and confront behaviors that are no longer serving you. I firmly believe that therapy can be utilized proactively at any time in our lives-not just in times of distress. To more deeply understand our needs and patterns, build healthy coping skills, and create positive interactions.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the demands of your job? Have work pressures left you feeling stressed and exhausted? Are you struggling to leave work concerns behind when you clock out, affecting your personal time and work-life balance? If these feelings resonate with you, you might be experiencing work-related stress. The unrelenting pace and high demands can make it difficult to find relief, leaving you searching for ways to manage and cope. Recognizing these signs and taking proactive steps is crucial to addressing them before they escalate further, impacting your overall well-being.

I know that you have a "pretty good" life. Perhaps you have done some work in therapy before, and things are finally stable. Yet, you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." You may struggle to find your authentic voice and honor your values in your relationships or career. Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence.

It is my personal belief that everyone deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to unravel their thoughts and be present in the moment. With all of the aspects of day-to-day life that keep us occupied, I hope that I can help you take a moment (or several moments) for yourself (and/or your partner) that you very much deserve. My goal is to listen to my client's personal experiences and use that to shape the person you want to be- or the person you already are, just the most authentic version of yourself. Everyone's experience that brings a client to therapy is unique and our goals together will always be unique to your growth.

I believe that healing is a collaborative journey of connection, growth, and transformation, and that every individual has the innate ability to heal and grow to live a valued and meaningful life. I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where you will feel seen and valued, partnering with you to foster a deeper connection with yourself and others. Together, we will celebrate both progress and the quest for greater well-being while honoring your unique path as you build strength and resilience to move from surviving to thriving.

The decision to begin therapy and the process of finding a therapist can be challenging, but ultimately extremely rewarding. I am an experienced therapist who understands that the most powerful things in life are often the simplest: to listen attentively, whole-heartedly, and with openness and compassion. I am committed to creating a safe, comforting space where you feel free to be yourself.

Are you struggling to get back on your feet after a major life setback? Is trauma or abuse from your past affecting your day-to-day life, or do feel like you are coming up against the same obstacles over and over again that are keeping you from living your life fully? Together we can work to help you make meaningful, long-term changes in a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment.

Are you looking for an unbiased opinion or outside perspective? Do you want a more fulfilling life but don’t know where to start? My name is Jen, and I help people work through the tough parts of life: difficult transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and family-related stressors. If you're feeling alone and disconnected, I'll be here to give you the support you need while also helping you build outside supports. I have experience working with caregivers, foster parents, and those with renal-related health concerns. I know that all of these situations can be really challenging; let’s work to overcome that.

I believe that psychotherapy is most effective when it is strengths-based: identifying and nourishing each individual's inner strengths in order to help them heal and develop new capacities for growth. Using mindfulness and body-aware techniques, as well as gentle mental exploration and traditional psychotherapy, I see my work as guiding individuals to unlock their own innate capacity to heal. I am also certified as a Nature-Informed Therapist and work to integrate the healing properties of the natural world into mental health treatment.

I have an unusual combination of specialties as both a clinical counselor and a spiritual director. I absolutely love working with couples and am trained in the Developmental Model; a system that follows the stages of relationship development. I also have specialized training to treat anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Panic Disorder and utilize ERP for OCD and In Vivo treatment where appropriate. I also have a Divinity degree and a background in a faith-based non-profit, which make integrating a client's faith a particular joy in therapy.

Are you a caretaker experiencing depression, stress or resentment towards your loved one? Have you been actively using substances or had a recent slip in use after years of being in recovery? Do you find yourself engaging in emotional eating or caloric restriction? Are you in need of emotional support after terminating a pregnancy? Has something occurred that caused you to start anew? Do you need a supportive ear that will listen and allow you to express your thoughts and feelings? Are you seeking skills to help you cope with everyday issues? Asking for help can be scary, but trying to go it alone can be even scarier.

Are you having trouble achieving, starting, creating, and/or maintaining your goals? Are you trying to develop more healthy, positive habits? Does your mindset seem to prevent you from moving forward in life? I use motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy as the primary tools to help illuminate a path toward achieving your goals, cultivating a positive mindset, and obtaining the results you're looking for.

Working with a good-fit therapist has the biggest impact on getting what you need out of your counseling experience. I work with folks who have invested in therapy for years, sometimes decades, but who haven't experienced significant change, in their relationships, their ways of operating, their stress levels, etc... So if you're motivated to gain insight into your stuck places, experiment with new ways of thinking, acting, and relating, and experience sustainable growth, let's connect!

Are you experiencing depression/anxiety symptoms? Experiencing difficulties with healthy communication in your relationships? Gender dysphoria or learning to accept a new identity? Desiring to progress but feeling stagnant in several areas in your life? Therapy is a relationship, and it is important to me that you feel seen, heard, and understood. I am empathetically direct, and I encourage my clients to express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them. We can create goals and explore past childhood trauma or issues that may impact who you are today. Therapy works best when we work together.

Overwhelmed. Overstimulated. Drained. Unmotivated. Unrecognizable yet functioning. You know those feelings all too well and at times question the point of it all. You frequently question yourself about what changes need to be made and/or how to make those changes, yet you have no idea where to begin. You truly desire to live a life that excites, motivates, and inspires you to be authentically yourself. You crave to know and understand "that thing" that holds you back from showing up as the version of yourself you've always wanted to be and are tired of living a life that no longer suits you.
