Therapists in Towson, MD

I have an unusual combination of specialties as both a clinical counselor and a spiritual director. I absolutely love working with couples and am trained in the Developmental Model; a system that follows the stages of relationship development. I also have specialized training to treat anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Panic Disorder and utilize ERP for OCD and In Vivo treatment where appropriate. I also have a Divinity degree and a background in a faith-based non-profit, which make integrating a client's faith a particular joy in therapy.

Are you a teenager or a young adult? Do you feel lost, anxious about major life changes, stuck in bad habits and repetitive thought patterns, or terrified of the future? Perhaps you're struggling in school and you don't know why, or you're trying to figure out a sustainable career in a tumultuous economy. Maybe something you thought you understood no longer feels right, like your gender, your sexuality, or your belief system.

As a therapist, I am here to provide a genuine connection, someone who is open and responsive to your needs and concerns. I can help you clarify your goals and objectives and identify how you want to address these challenges.

Immediate openings with evening hours offered. We all encounter obstacles and hardships in life. Difficult family dynamics, personal relationships, mental health issues, and life or career transitions can be challenging and bring deep pain or confusion. Getting support is essential. Life can be difficult to navigate, but the good news is that you don’t have to do it alone.

Goodness of fit is important in all areas of life, especially in connecting with your therapist.

You deserve to find your happiness now and I look forward to going on this journey with you by creating an empowering environment to help you form positive changes in your life.

I believe by exploring our past experiences and relationships we can find answers to better understand our own behaviors and thought processes. Our best healing happens throughout the context of a safe relationship and that is what I offer in therapy; a safe place where my client can explore their pain, trauma, hurt, and confusion in order to heal and live the most meaningful life possible. My clients know what their goals are and are excited to get to work but may need more accountability or support. Sometimes they aren't so clear and I can help with that, too.

The journey to be your best self is too important to take alone. So it would be my pleasure to help guide you to a better, clearer tomorrow – mentally, physically, and emotionally. My approach as a psychotherapist is one of understanding where you are now, and then working together to reach the place you desire to be. We’ve all walked a unique life path and had different experiences that shaped us, so my approach is not cookie-cutter at all. I believe in hope, inspiration, and the power of the individual. We are stronger than we realize, but the key to mental clarity and emotional well-being sometimes remains elusive.

I work collaboratively with clients to create the experience in therapy that will be most conducive to growth, healing, and learning to cope with and accept life’s challenges.

I’ve received training in various treatment approaches and modalities including CBT, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness, and strive to utilize the tools that will best fit your plan and your goals.

When starting my Private Practice years ago, I felt it was very important to create a therapeutic space where my Clients would feel comfortable, listened to and understood. A place where they could be themselves, speak openly and honestly and gain insight and perspective. My approach has always been genuine and straight forward, with a strong touch of honesty, encouragement and optimism. Relationships, family life and parenting can be so stressful and feel very overwhelming at times. I look forward to talking with you to determine how I can best help and support you and your family.

We all face challenges throughout our lives. What defines us is how we choose to address the issue. Mental illness is not uncommon but what can be uncommon is having the courage to seek help.

Fighting a mental illness can be exhausting. Don't go this alone. Let's talk about your goals and dreams and get you back on track to living your full life. I will push you to reach your potential but I will also be by your side through it all.
