Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Our individual experiences play a role in shaping our personalities, how we see the world, and how we view ourselves. My goal is to help increase your self-awareness through self-exploration and world-exploration. This approach requires openmindedness, flexibility, and hard work. As a poet, I take a creative approach to nearly all I do, particularly therapy. Life is all about balance and therapy can be emotionally draining work. So I like to make therapy as fun and interesting as possible. I love working with people who are willing to learn, are open to trying new things, who want to grow and like to have fun in the process.

Emotions can be overwhelming, relationships can be complicated, & past experiences can negatively impact our present lives. I will focus on assisting you to apply strategies that will alleviate past trauma, depression, anxiety & behaviors keeping you trapped in unhealthy cycles. Change can be scary & people often remain stuck due to fear of the unknown. Change & acceptance are concepts that can oppose one another, but with the proper mind set & guidance they can be a catalyst for significant growth & healing. Allow me to assist you in that process.

Everyone goes through difficult times in their life and sometimes asking for help can be scary! My goal is to help you navigate trying times in your life by processing difficult emotions and working toward goals that are important to you. I use a conversational, person-centered approach to therapy and believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important piece of the therapeutic puzzle. If you're open to building an honest connection and willing to work hard, I am here to support you!

I am an integrative psychotherapist who grounds my practice in trauma-informed, narrative, and critical consciousness frameworks. I have experience and training in mindfulness, trauma-focused CBT, child and adolescent trauma, IFS, and EMDR therapy. I have also completed population-specific trainings relating to gender, sexuality, racism and oppression.  I seek to challenge dominant narratives which negatively impact the ways people come to see themselves, understanding that many mental health challenges are deeply tied to the social, environmental, and political contexts in which they occur.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in evidence-based care for children, adolescents, adults, and their families.

I am an out and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community! I am also a pagan therapist who enjoys utilizing tarot, crystals, and brainspotting in my practice. The question I get asked the most is, "isn't pagan evil?" The easy answer is no; pagan is a term used for anyone who does not subscribe to a "traditional" religion. I prefer nature-based practices, and while I am open to working with anyone, I enjoy working with those who are open-minded and looking for a new experience with therapy. If you have questions send me an email I would love to discuss incorporating alternative therapies.

Finding a therapist who fits for you is challenging; you are not just seeking a service, you are starting a relationship. This can seem like a frightening proposition; but it is also an opportunity! Rarely in life do you enter a relationship with the expectation that you will need to be vulnerable or that you will be able to explore the dynamics of how you interact with the other person directly and frankly. Clients who are interested in exploring these dynamics or in learning strategies to cope with the challenges of day-to-day life are the ones who benefit most from my therapeutic approach.
