Relationship Issues Therapists in Lutherville Timonium, MD

Every marriage and partnership goes through ups and downs. However, some struggles call for extra support and guidance from a trained couples counselor. Marriage counseling can have goals, such as improving communication around conflicts; bringing back the spark after feeling like roommates; learning how to blend families after remarriage; or even amicable co-parenting during a divorce in order to have minimal impact on the kids. Whatever brings you to couples counseling, my focus is always on the best interest of the relationship. In working with a marriage counselor, you will find that the “client” is the relationship itself.

Navigating this fast paced world can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with the impact of trauma and stress, feelings of loneliness, and the pressure to have it all figured out. Throughout life, we pick up feelings of shame and self-doubt, making it difficult to feel connected and fulfilled. Whether you are working through life transitions, managing relationship issues, juggling multiple roles, developing your identity, or managing parenting stress, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy is an excellent tool that allows individuals to dedicate intentional time to begin healing and explore a deeper understanding of self.

Let’s talk about sex. Often an area of discomfort or awkwardness for people, my goal is to help people become more comfortable with themselves sexually. By normalizing sex as a natural part of the human experience, I help people see that much like taste in food, sexual desires and pleasures can change throughout life. My training in Clinical Sexuality allows me to help couples and individuals in both the relationship dynamics and the physical aspects of their relationships. Having an understanding about where clients want to go helps me tailor their therapy sessions to help move the relationship to a positive and fulfilling place.

I am truly passionate about supporting individuals with finding their purpose in life. I believe that, at times, our trauma and mental health can truly deter us from finding or reaching our full potential. In my opinion, every individual is unique and can achieve the happiness they desire if they are able to foster a healthier relationship with themselves. I enjoy supporting my clients while assisting them along on their journey to find healing and peace. I find that sometimes what we dislike most about ourselves is usually what empowers us to become stronger and more resilient as human beings.

Offering therapy that is insight oriented as a first step to healing. A structure of non-judgement, consistency, and strong client-therapist relationship are important pieces.

Through guided exploration, the goal is to understand how they influence the way in which we experience ourself in the world.

I am passionate about working with women entering the world of motherhood who may be struggling with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

I can work with young children within the family as well, while mostly focusing on the family as a whole as we work towards ways we can adjust parenting practices to sustain a happier household.
