Grief Therapists in Roland Park, MD

Whether an individual, couple or family are struggling with issues that appear to be a bump in the road of life, stressors that appear to make them feel stuck with no possibilities or are dealing with catastrophic events that have occurred, I work to meet the client where they are at, with the goal to work with them to come up other possible solutions that allow them to get unstuck and make the change that they are hoping to make.

Being a teenager is tough. Navigating school and home, extracurriculars and relationships with ever developing brains and bodies, emotions and perspectives, relationships and identities, distractions and temptations, can lead to anxiety and fear, confusion and loneliness, disorientation, frustration, anger even hopelessness. Parents, teachers, coaches and friends aren’t always the people to help, and sometimes you get to a point when you know you can’t do it alone...

For over 35 years I've been privileged doing what I love: being a therapist to couples & individuals with the courage & determination to make formidable personal changes. I use sensible theories & effective skills to be the right therapist for YOU also - the one you experience as attuned, respectful & responsive to your needs & knowledgeable in how to attend to them.

It can be hard to move forward if we don't know where we're going. In our work together, I'll support you in: -Developing a greater sense of acceptance and compassion for yourself and your experiences - Building psychological flexibility and resilience in the face of challenges - Taking action towards creating a more fulfilling and purposeful life

Therapy can be your safe place to process your feelings and heal from past traumas. I offer you a judgment-free zone for healing and restoration. Therapy will help you break old, dysfunctional, patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you. If you are a people-pleaser, feel burnt out or overwhelmed, or lack good boundaries, I can help. If you are part of a dysfunctional family or are considering divorce, I can help. Empaths, highly sensitive people, therapists, and first responders, I am here for you, too. If you are more likely to take of others than yourself, I can help. Let's break that cycle together.

We all have our struggles and experience the pain and hardships that are a part of life. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief or a reaction to a traumatic event or perhaps you are simply hoping to feel happier, more connected and more present in your life. Psychotherapy can help you create a meaningful life by enhancing coping skills, clarifying values and purpose, increasing your ability to handle difficult thoughts and emotions and cultivating wisdom, insight and self-compassion.

I believe in meeting people where they are and joining with them to create growth and change. I enjoy supporting others as they navigate life cycle transitions and work towards healthy, satisfying relationships. I am experienced in addressing issues of anger and aggression, anxiety, communication, co-parenting, defiance, depression, grief and loss, marital and family conflict, parenting skills, self esteem, and stress.

As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in providing individual counseling for children, adolescents and adults. I am skilled in the successful treatment of mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression, childhood behavioral disorders, relationship difficulties, and adjustment to life changes, problems and transitions. As an active therapist, I like to collaborate with my clients to help them achieve their goals to a happier and healthier future, both emotionally and physically.

Whether you're currently feeling overwhelmed or striving to reach your full potential, I help guide people on their path to feeling truly satisfied. I help clarify the patterns that leave people feeling "stuck" and help to illuminate the way towards resolution. I work on empowering people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to become their best selves.

If you are exploring your identity, making a transition, or coping with negative moods or experiences that you can't change on your own, it is a brave and impressive decision to seek therapy. My years of experience have allowed me to witness the power, hope, and change that can come through therapy that creates a safe, warm, and confidential environment for growth. I provide individuals and couples therapy that focuses on strengths, empowerment, relational change, and healthy strategies for coping with oppression and trauma.

I generally enjoy working with clients working through self-esteem issues, anxiety, and depression. Typically they are looking for ways to reframe negative thoughts, identify triggers and cognitive distortions, and find a path to the best version of themselves. Many of these clients have struggled with these issues long enough to have experienced negative consequences and reduced life chances. We work to rewrite their inner script and learn to make choices that enhance their life.
