Narrative Therapists in Timonium, MD

Finding a good therapist is like shopping for a good pair of shoes. Why, you might ask. It’s all about the fit. You usually choose shoes that are most comfortable and suit you best. Whether you may have gone to a therapist before or have never been – whether you had awful experiences in the past or none at all. Successful therapy is about finding the right fit; about finding a relationship where you have a safe space to bring any and all of your feelings and challenges.

Before earning my MA in Counseling Psychology from Towson University, I received a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from UMBC.

I also welcome non-native English speakers and clients whose country of origin is outside of the U.S.

Hi, I'm Kristen! My clinical focus spans from adolescence through adulthood, specializing in supporting neurodivergent (ADHD/Autistic) individuals and their families. I work with individuals who experience difficulties related to Depression, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Identity, Self-Image, and Transitioning to Adulthood.

Hello! I love working with kids, teens, and their parents on responding to big, overwhelming feelings. I’m also passionate about supporting women transitioning to motherhood and those coping with the day to day stressors of being busy parents. I can assist parents in managing their own symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and/or executive dysfunction while parenting. Another area of passion is helping teens and adults move away from rigid, disordered eating and towards the freedom of intuitive eating through improving their distress tolerance and self-compassion.

We all face experiences that are often difficult, painful, and even traumatic. So many of us face these situations feeling alone, overwhelmed, ashamed, and vulnerable. I believe healing and transformation comes from within, by reconnecting with our inner wisdom, becoming more self-aware, and growing more in self-love and compassion. Pain and vulnerability can also teach us a lot about ourselves and be incredibly healing. If you are struggling with relationship problems, life transitions, depression, anxiety, past traumas, feel stuck, or grieving the loss of a loved one, I can help you face these challenges.

Everyone, including you (and your partner), deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and understood.

I integrate emotionally focused therapy (EFT), CBT, and attachment theory with client-centered therapy. Together, we will work towards growth, self-awareness, insight, and change.

Feeling overwhelmed by stress and difficulties in life? Whether you're going through life transitions, relationship conflict, or simply feeling stuck, you've been giving your best, but it may not feel like enough. The exhaustion caused by depression, loneliness, anxiety, or insecurity can leave you longing for change, even if you're not sure where to start. The good news is, you don't have to face this alone. Therapy can help you rediscover your true self and provide a great starting point. As a therapist, I am here to support you and provide compassionate and empathetic care tailored to your individual needs.

Who are you and who do you want to be? For many people, that’s a terrifying question riddled with feelings like anxiety, insecurity, hopelessness, fear, dread, etc. Yet you’re here, on PsychologyToday, hoping to move closer to the person that you want to be. That’s where we start. The first question that I ask during an intake session is “when you imagine being successfully done with therapy, what does your life look like?” Well, really the first question is "how are you?" followed by shared laughter at the conditioned "good, how are you" response. Then that vision of yourself is what we use to guide us along the therapy journey.

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.

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.

Life is hard, and we are not born knowing all the answers. Many challenges are thrown our way and it's up to us to find our way through life as best we can. Life can have us feeling stuck, helpless, and confused. I approach therapy as an opportunity to provide others a safe non-judgemental space to learn about themselves, grow, and address challenges that may impact the way we interact with and feel about the world. As a queer-identified therapist, I am passionate about providing care to individuals who are questioning or identify with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Therapy is a resource that can help you navigate difficult moments in life, and I would love to join you on that journey. Whether you are looking for support with current transitions/stressors or working through difficult past experiences, we can work together to discover your strengths and reach your goals. I work with adults (age 18+) with anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties and traumatic experiences.
