Grief Therapists in Timonium, MD

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life stressors or struggling with grief, stress, anxiety, or depression. Take the time to slow down, gain insight into your needs and truths, and find a deeper purpose with life. Therapy is an enriching journey which can provide much-needed relief from chaotic or overwhelming moments in our lives. It's my mission as a therapist to help reconnect with your inner voice without judgment or limitation - creating space for you to explore what it means to lead an integrated lifestyle that aligns within all parts of yourself.

Reaching out for help is one of the hardest things to do and connecting with a therapist who can provide a safe, confidential, judgement free space for you is crucial to your healing. Sometimes people are just looking for someone to talk to so they won't have to face their problems alone. I have been a therapist for over twenty years and whether you are struggling with grief or trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, stress, or life transitions, I will provide that space for you to work through life's challenges. My goal is for you to feel engaged and empowered, heard and supported, accepted and safe.

Are stressors at work or school affecting your overall well-being? Are you and your partner facing difficulties in connecting emotionally or physically? Are you coping with the loss of a loved one, and finding it difficult to move forward? Have past experiences left you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? Are you struggling with self-doubt or finding it hard to appreciate your worth? Are you facing communication challenges or unresolved conflicts in your relationships? I am deeply committed to your journey for self-discovery, healing from grief, navigating life transitions, exploring identity, and overcoming trauma.

There are times when we encounter challenges that greatly impact our ability to live a healthy, productive life. Times when it becomes hard to engage in relationships, work, and/or activities that we enjoy. Have you found yourself increasingly overwhelmed, stressed, or worried? Do you have difficulty overcoming past traumatic events? Do you struggle with adjusting to major life changes? Do these circumstances affect your sense of self-worth, create unhealthy boundaries, or impact your ability to show up for yourself? Having the right tools to cope can be invaluable in changing the landscape of your mental health.

We could all benefit from an outside perspective during life's stressors. I am here to listen, support, and empower you on your journey to clarity and making meaning from your experiences. Seeking support is a courageous step, not a sign of weakness.  Especially during the chaos, it can certainly be painful to feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn whether personally, professionally, or both.  My approach co-creates a judgment-free space where you can explore your challenges, uncover your inner strengths, and gently cultivate hope and resilience.

I work with adults across the lifespan needing support for anxiety, grief, relationships, and major life changes.

I have a special interest in helping clients heal from loss; establish healthy boundaries; practice courageous communication; and enjoy meaningful connection with others.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Therapy is a highly personal and emotional experience. My experience includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, isolation, substance use, grief, loss, abuse, neglect, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, gender issues, relationship and/or family issues.

Find the freedom and confidence to discover your inner truth, your emotions, and your voice. Healing and becoming aligned with your true self is a life giving energetic and sacred experience that takes place within the safety and trust of the counseling relationship or in a confidential group of kindred spirits — often both. We must go deep to connect with the vital energy and core vitality that we were born with after life has brought pain, losses and various forms of trauma or abuse. Integrating my specialities of grief, and releasing trauma through the amazing modality of Brainspotting I've created my Soul of Healing program.

Are you feeling lost or stuck through a life transition? Is school, work or your family stressing you out? Are you feeling alone, or looking to strengthen your relationships? Have you lost a loved one and looking for support during the grieving process? Is anxiety interfering with different areas of your life? My goal is to serve you in whatever ways you might need. I believe that therapy is a space to gain insight, a path to self-discovery, and a time to process past or current life experiences. I am committed to providing culturally informed evidence-based treatment. It is my passion to walk with you through the journey of life.

With the right person, therapy can be a unique and powerful tool for affecting change. Through the process of self-exploration, in a nonjudgmental environment, I believe every person has the ability to change their circumstances and to rewrite their story as it’s being written.

I am accepting new clients and have afternoon and evening availability! I have extensive experience working with teens and their families as well as young adults. I specialize in working with adolescents (13+), college students, families, and young adults from diverse backgrounds. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, life transitions, or just seeking support, I'm here for you.

I believe that true healing happens when a challenge is addressed holistically, and when the client is seen as a whole person. Therapy with me is a safe space to explore your connection with any uncomfortable emotions, disruptive thoughts and behavioral patterns, as well as, complicated relationships with the individuals in your life. I am especially passionate about working with those who suffer with pain and trauma from the past and who are interested in exploring how it affects their everyday life.

The stories others tell about us and the ones we tell ourselves help to shape the landscape of our lives. Life is also full of profound mystery. Sometimes, we find ourselves navigating a landscape that bears no resemblance to the one we imagined. We suffer unimaginable losses, injustices and pain, and frequently there are no answers explaining why. Additionally, finding our way can be exhausting and leave us feeling sad and defeated. In those times, it's easy to forget (or perhaps, no one ever told or showed us) the truth that we absolutely matter; we are deserving of acceptance and kindness, and we are worthy of respect and love.

Are you planning to get married and you want to strengthen your relationship? Or, are you having problems in your marriage? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you trying to determine if you both can stay in your marriage? Is your blended family not blending as well as you hoped? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we can discuss them in-depth and help build your relational skills.

You are struggling with something weighty. It might be a death, a newly diagnosed illness, a divorce, a lost job, or a chronic illness. You want to figure out how to carry this weight and not lose yourself to anxiety, sadness or grief. Perhaps your life is changing because you now find yourself with an empty nest, a new identity or a transgender family member. What you used to know doesn't fit your life anymore. I don't know all the answers, but between us, I know we can find the way forward and achieve the peace you seek.

Are you feeling restless at all times and want to clear your mind? Are you going down a negative spiral and feel hopeless? Reaching out for help is one of the hardest things to do.
