Therapists in Cockeysville Hunt Valley, MD

As a practitioner of Internal Family Systems therapy, I help clients identify and release core beliefs that cause anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, guilt, perfectionism, and/or addiction. I strongly believe that our pasts influence our present. The lens through which we interpret ourselves, other people, and the world around us is developed in childhood and sometimes needs adjustment as we evolve throughout the lifespan. With IFS therapy, we will uncover and challenge the lessons you learned as children that keep you feeling stuck, scared, sad, and not good enough.

As a psychologist my number one goal is to approach you with acceptance, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. Through my work as a psychologist I have come to believe in the capacity of people to change. I welcome individuals that are questioning why their own attempts to improve the quality of their lives is not working. Often there can be mixed feelings about change. I recognize that change is difficult. I feel that self exploration is a challenge that often requires courage and risk.

My approach is solution-focused because I believe there is a solution to every problem and we will work together to figure it out. I work with clients of all ages to address issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, communication, relationships, decision making and impulse control.

Have your loved ones recommended that you talk to someone, or told you to get your act together? Are feelings of sadness and anxiety impacting your ability to function?

Accepting new clients! If you feel constantly overwhelmed and you struggle to set healthy boundaries, I can help. Whether you are facing divorce, caring for elderly parents or small kids, or simply have 'too much' going on, I can help. Let therapy be your safe place to process your feelings, hopes, fears, and heal from past traumas. Empaths, highly sensitive people, therapists and healers, I am here for you, too.

I love this quote from Dr. Louis Tinnin and Dr. Linda Gannt, Co-Founders of Instinctual Trauma Response Method: "Of all the mental health issues, the ones related to trauma are the most treatable." I hold this same belief and enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and first responders that are experiencing symptoms of traumatic stress (anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, uncomfortable body sensations, etc.). Traumatic stress is an injury that can be healed & effective therapy does not require you to relive past experiences.

Have you been feeling off? Like something is missing? Wanting more for yourself? You wouldn't be here if you weren't ready for change, and I'd be honored to walk with you as you start the process!

Doing so does not make you weak, but shows your strength.
