Multicultural Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Welcome to a space where you are seen, heard, and valued. I work with women who are experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and issues related to relationships, friendships, career, life transitions, self esteem, perfectionism, burn out, people pleasing, and personal growth. Are you finding yourself struggling to manage your emotions lately? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you? If you find yourself self-sacrificing, feeling overwhelmed by the multiple roles you juggle, or just seeking to unpack some things, it might be time to consider therapy. Taking this first step is an act of self-love.

Diverse couples and individuals clients work with me to process and identify strategies to alleviate distress caused by identity, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, caretaking, overwhelm, transitions, guilt/shame, trauma, mood swings and more. We'll use solution-focused, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment, multicultural approaches, and cognitive behavioral frameworks to improve communication, regulate mood, implement new behaviors and decrease symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADHD and more. We'll explore and understand your thoughts, behaviors, relationship and mood patterns and make incremental change.

Hello! My name is Michael and I am a therapist with a passion for helping clients overcome mental health challenges, life stressors, and anything else that is interfering with your ability to find happiness and wellness on a daily basis. I believe that all of us are on a journey to become the best versions of ourselves that we can be, and I also know that we sometimes need support and guidance along the way. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, and particular areas of interest and populations I enjoy working with include ADHD (especially adults with ADHD), OCD, grief, depression, and college students.

You are strong! You've taken the first step to reclaiming your life and regaining your peace! Whether you're looking to increase emotional self-awareness, better navigate interpersonal stress, or cope with life's stressors, I am eager to be a part of YOUR journey. We will collaboratively explore your challenges and obstacles and develop skills and insight to better navigate them successfully. It is my intention to foster a nurturing and authentic therapeutic relationship that encourages personal growth and promotes positive mental health. Are you ready to reclaim you peace and invest in your well-being? Let's do this!

I use warmth, non-judgmental curiosity, and authenticity to cultivate a nurturing collaborative space where we can understand how your familial, relational, and cultural experiences shape your lived experience. With this insight, we can help you develop greater confidence in making the changes you’d like to live an intentional and meaningful life. I integrate attachment theory, trauma-informed interventions, mindfulness techniques, and multicultural/systems perspectives in therapy.

Despite your best efforts to convince yourself that you have it all together, you’re struggling with that relationship, you're tired, and you're left wondering, "is it me?" Feeling unsure of how to navigate it all, you’ve pushed down the pain and traumatic memories. Sometimes, you do feel fine; but the feeling is fleeting. Truthfully, the things you've been doing to cope just aren't helping as much as you'd hoped. We both know that simply "focusing on yourself" overlooks the complexity of navigating through unwritten relationship rules, cultural expectations, and your values. Together, let's find new ways to navigate the challenges.

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.

My goal is to work on eliminating the stigma associated with Mental Health and Addiction that would lead to embracing treatment and recovery. I use a person-centered approach, holistic, multicultural, motivational Interviewing, and integrative approach in treatment. This means I meet clients where they are, and work collaboratively to accomplish identified goals and skills needed for success.

We're supposed to drink enough water, get enough sleep, exercise, save money, make money, work hard while having work/life balance, be a great spouse/parent/sibling/child, travel more...the list is endless.

I am currently accepting new telehealth clients! It is easy to feel overwhelmed, singled out and isolated by today’s climate, and sometimes just going about daily life can feel like a struggle. Sometimes, feeling on the “outside” of certain communities can be a reflection of the world, and not actually of you and your identity. I am here to really hear you so that you can just exist, without having to explain aspects of your identity, or having to harbor your trauma anymore for fear of being misunderstood. My goal is to create a comfortable space for you to embolden your own skills for your own journey toward healing.

As a practicing therapist and former therapy client, I understand how difficult it can be to move forward when you feel stuck and struggling against what seems impossible to recover from or manage. I firmly believe that each of us has the ability to meet and even surpass our own expectations of what is possible for us to overcome, regardless of how dire the circumstances may seem. You are the expert on your own life and my role is to help you become a more confident expert. As a result, I work best with clients who are prepared to be active and committed participants in order to be more successful in therapy and everyday life.
