Women's Issues Therapists in Middletown, MD

I work with clients across the lifespan (ages 5-70+). I started my career working with children and adolescents. Over the course of the last 20+ years, I expanded my experience to work with young adults, adults, and older adults. Through therapy, my goal is to help you with life's many problems, while finding ways to manage stressors and cope adaptively in any situation.

Seeking therapy is a brave first step! My work largely centers around women's issues, healing from trauma, young adult adjustment issues, relationship difficulties, and helping clients struggling with anxiety (OCD/GAD). My goal is to help my clients reach their full potential in their personal, relational and professional lives.

I know that you have a "pretty good" life. Perhaps you have done some work in therapy before, and things are finally stable. Yet, you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." You may struggle to find your authentic voice and honor your values in your relationships or career. Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence.

I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) with years of experience working with teens, couples, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, anger issues, parenting difficulties, depression, chronic stress, relationship issues, and pregnancy-related concerns. My ideal client is motivated to learn more about themselves, open to self-reflection, willing to engage in the therapeutic process, and committed to making positive changes in their lives. Additionally, they are motivated to work on their issues, have good communication skills, and are willing to be honest and vulnerable in the therapeutic relationship.

When you or a loved one is struggling it can be hard to know where to start in bringing about positive change. It may seem like the strategies you are using to make things better just aren’t working, which can lead to feeling stuck, hopeless and uncertain. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and safe space to work together on better understanding how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors interact, with the goal being to find strategies and solutions that help you to live a life consistent with your values. Specializing in eating disorders and co-occurring disorders, I particularly enjoy working with young adults.

I have a profound commitment to understanding and nurturing each client's unique goals, My intention is to create a safe and compassionate space where healing can flourish. My current areas of specialty include: adult ADHD, mood disorders, multicultural issues, sexual disorders, and women's health.

Out of the Office until October, email to be added to my waitlist! Holding space for millennial women to let go of perfectionism, stop people-pleasing, and heal from the past. You feel stuck reliving the past and un-loveable despite "knowing" you are enough. You've done therapy before but found yourself feeling worse. Does this sound familiar? It's not all in your head. Trauma impacts our perspective and causes us to the see the present through the eyes of the past. This impacts everything from our relationships with friends, to sleep and our performance at work. However, healing is possible if we know how to go about healing it.
