Johns Hopkins Therapists in Baltimore, MD
Life is full of ups and downs — we all know that. But sometimes, it can feel like we’re running a marathon that seems to go on forever. We start to feel stressed, burnt out, and hopeless. We may find ourselves wondering, "What happened to my relationship?", "Why can’t I stop repeating this unhealthy behavior?", "Wasn’t this new job supposed to make things better?" Whether it’s our work, relationships, or simply our own quirks getting in the way of our well-being, there comes a time when our confusion and pain become too much to bear alone. We feel like giving up and often don’t know where to go for support.

Living at the intersectionality of one or more marginalized identities is to live a life with the constant necessity to protect your space, affirm your worth, and embrace intentionality in your day-to-day living experience. It also requires the intentional avoidance of internalized self-hatred, expected assimilation, and hypervigilance for your safety in efforts to live a life full of purpose, peace, and inner-fulfillment. Society's intentional assault to the body and mind has damaged individual and collective wellness and resulted in the separation from ones true identity. It is time to reconnect, rediscover, & heal.

Everyone, including you (and your partner), deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and understood. With a collaborative approach, I seek to create that safe environment where individuals and couples can explore and transform their stories, finding healing and integration. Working from an attachment theory lens, I provide strategic, practical, and holistic support while facilitating a deeper journey inward that gets to the core issues. I integrate emotionally focused therapy (EFT), CBT, and attachment theory with client-centered therapy. Together, we will work towards growth, self-awareness, insight, and change.

The first steps to a counseling session can be scary, but it is also a courageous act in understanding yourself and living a more engaging life. My philosophy in providing care has always been "helping others help themselves." I believe that each individual has the ability to change and grow in their journey. In sessions I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. I will also acknowledge that our world is vastly different and more chaotic than it was a few years ago - covid pandemic, racial injustice, climate change - and I will do my best to offer you some direction in these collective struggles.

Have you been secretly struggling with burdens trying to ‘grin and bear it’? Have you been traumatized? Feel unloveable or worthless? Does finishing school or keeping a job seem impossible? Are you having trouble connecting with family and friends? Feel like your full potential is unreachable? Or frustrated with life itself? You’re not broken or alone; therapy can be a great tool that can help you find that inner resiliency to keep moving forward without being weighed down by guilt, shame, or judgement. It’s okay to ask for support and help, especially when the world feels like a dumpster fire on top of our own personal battles.

I view therapy as a collaboration between therapist and client. I strive to make clients feel at ease and work best with clients seeking aid in managing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, perinatal/postpartum concerns, peer relationship problems, ADHD, and parenting concerns. In counseling, being open and honest is one of the most important aspects of the process. As it can be very difficult to be vulnerable, I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere and will always be honest in return to my clients.

You’re trying to hold it together as best as you can. You are able to be there for everyone else but struggle to show up for yourself. Sometimes you just feel so down but you can’t quite figure out why. It's been going on for a while now and no matter what you have tried, nothing seems to make you feel better. It may be something from your past that you are having a hard time dealing with or may even avoid thinking about. You feel like no one gets it. So you put on a brave face each day and decide you can deal with whatever it is later. You question your every move and your relationships, thinking “something must be wrong with me"
