Adoption Therapists in Catonsville, MD

With over 35 years of experience, I bring compassion, humor, and creativity to my work with individuals and families. My professional interests include psychotherapy with parent-child dyads, parent support from an attachment-focused lens, and individual work with adults and teens. I have experience and interest in working with families impacted by attachment issues, adoption, foster care, trauma, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

It takes a lot of courage to seek help, especially in a world that unfairly stigmatizes getting psychological services. Lack of understanding of what therapy is and how people can benefit from it prevents some from using professional services to know and understand themselves better, to improve relationships, and to live more meaningful, fulfilling lives regardless of their challenges. Sometimes people have troubling symptoms due to anxiety, depression, and other disorders and need help to address these symptoms and their causes. I use a variety of approaches to help clients. My goal is to empower clients through a healthy, therapeutic relationship.

These days many people are realizing how important our mental and emotional health is.  Maybe your anxiety has been increasing, or you notice your mood has been changing.  Perhaps you’re noticing you are feeling more irritable or preoccupied.   Or you’re feeling more drained and less interested in the things you used to enjoy.   Or maybe, like many, you’re not quite sure what you’re feeling.

Do you feel you are not living your life at its full potential? Are you unsatisfied with the quality and direction of your life? Does self doubt, anxiety, sadness, anger or emotional eating interfere with your personal, professional or social life? Do you still feel the pain of past sexual or physical abuse, bullying, neglect, or feelings of being unloved? Do you cope by overeating? Has a military experience left you with unwanted intrusive thoughts and uncontrollable emotions? It is difficult to go through life with such overwhelming emotions, but there is hope and and I can help.
