Depression Therapists in Catonsville, MD

Over the past 22 years, I've had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents. In the last 12 years I've increased my scope to include young and older adults. Anxiety, depression, trauma and other behavioral challenges have made up the majority of my work. In each of these situations a strength-based, goal-centric and client-empowered approach has yielded success. In my experience my clients have simply wanted to feel better about their place in life while re-learning to hope once again. My work in schools and in practice have taught me that my success begins from a place of genuine care for my client's well-being.

If you have tried traditional "talk therapy" in the past and are still stuck, I can help! If you're struggling with anxiety, PTSD, or trauma, I encourage you to try a different approach. Together we will dive deeper to get to the root cause rather than immediately trying to fix the problem. It's always more complex than it appears on the surface and this work takes time and effort. I offer more expressive and experiential modalities to help you make meaningful, lasting changes and take you beyond just talk therapy. I take a holistic and integrative approach and see you as a whole person and not just a person with "issues."

Have you been having a hard time finding the joy and balance in your life, despite your best efforts? Have you found yourself feeling down, stressed out, anxious, or just plain burned out? There are many reasons why individuals choose to engage in therapy but no matter what your needs may be, you can rest assured that you are in the right place for a life re-set! I am a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland with over 7 years of experience working as an individual and family therapist.

Hello all! I’m a mental health professional with over 15 years of experience. I’m from Washington, DC area and graduated from Howard University and The University of Maryland School of Social Work.

“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.

Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes we need support to face our challenges. I believe it is possible to grow from our struggles and learn from the difficult experiences we go through. I work with adolescents and adults ages 18 and up and provide a client-centered approach that meets the unique needs of each person. I support my clients in building self-esteem, resolving core issues causing anxiety and depression, and developing coping skills to reduce stress. I strive to empower my clients to develop self-compassion, acceptance, and insight to improve quality of life and wellbeing.

Seeking therapy takes courage. I understand how difficult it can be taking that first step reaching out for help. I provide a supportive environment and foster a trusting atmosphere to begin the healing and recovery process. Services are collaborated and tailored according to the goals of clients and individuals are empowered to create meaningful change in their lives. I welcome adults who experience depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation and relational conflict; and children who experience PTSD, ADHD, emotional and behavioral challenges. I am sensitive to issues unique to women, trauma, abuse and addiction.

Taking care of your whole self means focusing on the parts that are blooming and the parts that are healing. It can be important to have a calming and non-judgmental space to process your growth. My focus is to align with your needs to create the opportunity to reach your goals for mental health. I believe every person is capable of achieving self-love and happiness. I utilize person-centered and strengths-based approach to empower personal growth. I offer both in person or telehealth.

Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological and social well-being. It is important at every stage of life, as it can make daily routines and tasks challenging. Often, individuals are unaware of how their experiences are connected to their mental health, or unable to focus on those connections. Untreated mental health can increase unhealthy coping skills, dysfunctional relationships, low self-esteem, and unreached goals. Many individuals want stability, understanding and happiness. Having a supportive, therapeutic relationship can cultivate both personal and mental health goals.

Life can be messy, and I specialize in helping mamas at all stages (pre/postpartum, experiencing miscarriage/loss, or infertility), anyone experiencing anxiety or depression, and survivors of trauma navigate through complicated and uncharted waters.

Hello!

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.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or ADHD that affects your ability to function in your relationships, your work, and all the things you need to do to get through the daily grind? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed, wondering if there's even a light at the end of the tunnel? Do you ever wonder if life really can get better? Many people are struggling with anxiety and depression. Others are trying to overcome childhood abuse and trauma, and still others are trying to overcome the shame and frustration of constantly struggling with accomplishing their day-to-day tasks. I believe that there is hope for a better life.
