Racial Identity Therapists in Baltimore, MD

“Feeling nervous about crowds?” “Checking behaviors?” “No motivation to do anything.” Life experiences come with a myriad of emotions including negative ones. Sometimes, when we experience these negative emotions, we get stuck. Emotional states such as, anxiety and depression, can usher in moments of uncertainty and discomfort. As your therapist, I am committed to helping you, the client, navigate those uncomfortable moments. Perhaps your goal is to change unwanted behaviors, learn coping skills, or become more aware of your authentic self. My endeavor is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore those goals.

The human mind is an amazing entity, its capacity unparalleled, and yet we sometimes work against our own best interests and purposes. Psychotherapy can be a mirror into the soul, enabling access to one's potential for healing, growth, and empowerment. I utilize a variety of modalities, including CBT and DBT informed interventions, Emotion Focused therapy, Interpersonal and psychodynamic theories and interventions to address anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties , and, problem solving in all realms. As an RN and LCSW-C I have many years experience. I welcome adults of all ages.

Immediate Openings! Under the supervision of the well-known Lacanian psychoanalyst Bruce Fink, I strive to empower my patients to develop a deep sense of curiosity and compassion towards themselves as well as their pain and suffering.

My priority is to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where people feel empowered to recognize and eventually express their needs for love, support, protection, and comfort.

Although most people will experience anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem and relationship issues at some point in their life, some issues affect women differently and thus they need a different approach. Women deal with many unique issues like carrying the emotional burden in relationships, having different standards of physical beauty, being discriminated against at work, struggling with fertility issues, and experiencing intersectional racism. Women are often told to "deal with it" or that they are being too emotional, but I am here to tell you that your feelings are completely valid!

At Ashé Mental Health and Wellness Space, our time together is focused on empowering you with energy and the tools to feel more in control of your life and identify the paths of healing that work for you.

Many people come to me concerned that therapy cannot work for them. They feel hopeless, or discouraged, or worried that they are beyond help.
