Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I appreciate the quote, "You don't have to be sick to get better." As a solution-focused therapist, I'll work with you to identify strengths that can be applied in unique ways to help alleviate current struggles and put you back on the path to the best version of you. This approach is effective for both long-standing issues such as chronic anxiety or depression, as well as more acute issues including relationship challenges and immediate life changes. Starting from session one we collaborate on establishing goals for our work, develop customized tools you can use immediately, and then build on that foundation for lasting success.

Are you looking for an experienced therapist that accepts insurances, offers evening hours, and returns phone call right away? I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals that are struggling in relationships, having difficulty with life adjustments, or bottling their feelings and acting out through addiction. My approach is tailored to each individual in a unique way, integrating various theories and styles of practice. Therapy is a one of a kind experience for people looking to change their lives. This is for those looking to be truly alive and to find deeper meaning, joy, creativity, and depth.

I have over a decade of professional experience working within the LGBTQ+ community, with specialized skills for kids, adolescents, adults, or families who are navigating a gender journey, a kinky relationship, a non-monogamous connection, sex as employment, as well as many other beautiful different ways we live our lives.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and unable to balance your work, personal and family life? Are you concerned that your relationship with your spouse/partner is stagnant or full of conflict? Are trust and communication issues ruining your relationship? Do you feel unmotivated or sad all the time? Do you find yourself wanting to be happy, but unable to find the key to happiness? As an individual, couples and family therapist, I work with clients through different stages of their lives to help them find the right balance to happiness and success.

Finding a place we can trust to tell our stories is essential to finding a path to healing, recovery, and transformation. Therefore, it is essential to find someone that can help you reach your potential to transform your life. We all are born with an innate capacity to develop happy and healthy lives. However, sometimes life experiences such as hurts and traumas can interfere with our development and we may become unhappy or unsatisfied with our lives and adopt self-defeating thinking and behavioral patterns.

In the intricate web of modern existence, where complexity thrives and our social circles contract, the vitality of our relationships, partnerships, and unions is elevated to unprecedented significance. As a practitioner deeply immersed in contemporary Jungian insights and inspired by the relational wisdom of Ester Perel, I serve as a guide—a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist—committed to navigating individuals, couples, and families toward the realization of profound and nourishing connections.

Do you think you may have ADHD or Autism? Have you struggled to assert boundaries at work, with family, & partners? Have you felt curious about exploring different pronouns and gender identity? Do you feel bad that you have a disability and don't know how to tell your friends that you can't do certain activities? You may have goals to tell your friends your preferred pronouns. Goals to get a diagnosis for your disability & curious about medication, goals to reevaluate your relationship with cannabis/alcohol. You may feel shame & anger about your childhood & the way your parents handled your behavior.

So, you’ve waited this long to either start therapy or change to a therapist that’ll REALLY help. By the time you get to this point – you’re overdue. I get that. That’s why we keep openings for SAME day appointments, and evening & weekend slots. Although we don’t do emergency care – we understand that sometimes it’s best to talk through something soon. I specialize in treating fellow doctors, lawyers or high-net worth individuals who require a therapist that can match their intellect and caliber. I understand how big law, three-letter government agencies and academia works – so you won’t have to waste time getting me up to speed.

Let me help you tell your story. Nietzsche famously said, "To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." I believe that we spend our lives looking for answers and meaning in life, and my passion is helping others untangle their darkest fears, their deepest worries, and emerge feeling both freer and more in control of their lives. I will walk beside you in the darkness--not leading, but guiding with a gentle hand as you move toward a brighter future.

Are you a human who struggles with life? Do you find yourself "going through the motions"? Do you feel like you're constantly in survival mode, going from one crisis to the next? Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or increasingly alone? Does your mind race at night, does it replay all of your mistakes? We all struggle with these kinds of thoughts/feelings because of how our mind works. Imagine if you didn't have to struggle and you were engaged in your life in more meaningful ways. You can become more active and engaged in your life and be who you truly want to be. You can LIVE more and struggle less.

My experiences both in and out of the work setting are fairly broad so I feel I can address most issues clients present with. My style is engaging and supportive. I view our relationship as a partnership. I will spend the majority of our first sessions together listening to get to know you better. I believe that everything in our lives is interrelated, so at times I may let our focus move to whatever is particularly troubling to you that day. At other times, I may focus you back on the current problem we are trying to solve.

Are you a caretaker experiencing depression, stress or resentment towards your loved one? Have you been actively using substances or had a recent slip in use after years of being in recovery? Do you find yourself engaging in emotional eating or caloric restriction? Are you in need of emotional support after terminating a pregnancy? Has something occurred that caused you to start anew? Do you need a supportive ear that will listen and allow you to express your thoughts and feelings? Are you seeking skills to help you cope with everyday issues? Asking for help can be scary, but trying to go it alone can be even scarier.

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 am currently accepting new patients for online video therapy (Telehealth)!

I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families. I also enjoy working with people in recovery. I have spent the majority of my career in the field of addiction counseling. I genuinely believe that as a therapist, my job is to help people become the best version of themselves. People come to therapy to discover new things about themselves. Sometimes it's wonderful, other times it's difficult but, I am not only willing, I am passionate about talking about the things that they have not been able to share with anyone else and getting to witness the growth that comes with facing those demons together.

Are you having trouble achieving, starting, creating, and/or maintaining your goals? Are you trying to develop more healthy, positive habits? Does your mindset seem to prevent you from moving forward in life? I use motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy as the primary tools to help illuminate a path toward achieving your goals, cultivating a positive mindset, and obtaining the results you're looking for.

Do you have concerns about your ability to cope with anger, anxiety, career transitions, and/or intimacy and interpersonal issues? Are you feeling disconnected? Often, we can find ourselves in a “life loop” that can make us feel like we’re on autopilot. Sometimes those feelings of anger, anxiety, and disconnection can feel so strong that we feel isolated and alone. But the truth is that you are not alone and do not have to navigate those issues by yourself. You can free yourself of your issues! You can live the life that you desire!
