Anxiety Therapists in 21015

Every person is a unique individual and it is important to consider all of the life factors affecting how each client experiences and thinks about life. Such factors may include family life, work, social environment, social supports, past experiences, physical needs (rest, diet & nutrition, exercise, etc.), spiritual beliefs, and mental well-being. I use methods that best meet each client's individual needs, and encourage my clients to work collaboratively throughout the counseling process.

My goal is to help you become your best self through making effective life changes that lead to satisfaction and a healthy well-being.Through a person centered approach, I help my clients navigate challenges and crises of life. In those difficult times it is hard to be objective and make the best decisions for ourselves and others. It is my priority to provide a nonjudgmental, safe environment where you feel heard and understood.

Ongoing mindfulness is encouraged to decrease distorted negative thinking. The following techniques, Here & Now, Cognitive Behavioral & Mindfulness will be implemented.

As an “introduction” to who I am, what I believe in, and what I “bring to the table” during our therapy sessions, please allow me to use a quote from one of my favorite books written by David Klow, LMFT, “You Are Not Crazy”. His words are exactly what I want you, my Client, to hear from me and for you to believe. You are not crazy. Really, you are not. Others are experiencing nearly the same things as you, yet they just don’t talk about it. They often don’t even have the words to describe what they are experiencing; but if they could, you may find that it is a lot like what you are going through.

Do you feel lost or stuck in your life? Stress, trauma and uncertainty can make life seem like an overwhelming, uphill battle. It takes courage to ask for help and seek support. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship with my clients that provides safety, reassurance, and guidance as we navigate a path towards personal growth and wellness. I am committed to listening, validating and being attuned to my client's needs. I invite my clients to explore old patterns of existing in order to propel themselves on their journey to healing.

If you are looking for a therapist who will help you explore your childhood and early relationships, to understand your current challenges, I would be a great fit. I help my patients recognize their strengths, while supporting them as they examine their life patterns. Through our collaboration, patients will decide what changes they want to make. Patients often say that in our work they realize aspects of themselves that they previously underappreciated, and they recognize that these aspects do not need to be changed but can instead be celebrated.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a client focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that are holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I have been practicing as a licensed social worker with children, adolescents and families since 2008. I received my Bachelors of Social Work and Fine Art in 2007 from McDaniel College. I then practiced as a bachelor level social worker for four years with foster children and families in Baltimore City. After completing an internship providing therapy to children and families who experienced trauma, I completed an Advanced Standing Graduate Program. In 2012, I graduated from University of Maryland School of Social Work with a clinical concentration and a specialization in children and families.

You may be wondering how you are possibly going to put your life back together. Or, maybe, perhaps you're praying that you can finally put the vice down.

We might be a good fit for one another if you're queer, poly, considering recovery, interested in a somatics based practitioner, and vibe with crystals and energy. Whatever it is, let's share a cup of coffee and figure it out together. If you are committed to your wellness and have a desire to seek restoration for a weary soul, hit my line. Let's Get Well, Y'all!

Some days you can handle it...The intrusive thoughts, the incessant worry, the crippling fear, the relentless anxiety, the mental anguish, and the sadness that leaves you feeling alone. Some days you make do; put your needs to the side, and you simply keep going. You are a warrior, relying on nothing but strength. But where's the balance in that? Are you ready... to make room for you, to heal, and to bring more balance to your life by adding an arsenal of new tools, skills and elevated thinking? We will work together to identify and address root causes of mental stress and develop strategies to promote holistic healing and balance.

I work with individuals or families who are not living the lives they want to live. This could be due to addiction, chronic pain, mental health issues, life circumstances or the natural progression of change. I do not believe therapy needs to be a somber or gut-wrenching experience, but it can be uncomfortable. This does not mean it can not also be invigorating and pleasant. I offer HIPAA- compliant tele therapy via video conference for those who travel frequently, physically unable to make an office visit or outside of the geographic location.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or just stuck? Especially during these uncertain times? Those feelings are not uncommon. This is where I come in, to provide you with a safe space to bring any and all of your feelings and challenges. I will provide a nonjudgmental and objective environment for you to begin your healing and growth. I mainly use strength-based perspective and cognitive behavioral approach in therapy. Meaning, I will learn and use what you are good at to set small goals to change negative habits and thought processes to reduce symptoms.

With a vibrant spirit and dedication to lifelong learning, I earned dual Master's degrees in Social Work and Jewish Studies from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 1991, also completing the esteemed Baltimore Institute of Jewish Communal Service program.Over the years, I've joyfully contributed to various nonprofit organizations as an educator, community organizer, and social worker.

New Practice - Accepting new clients with immediate availability! I enjoy working with a variety of clients and presenting problems. I know my style and approach won't be the best fit for everybody, but I believe it could be a great fit for anybody. A free preliminary consultation could help us determine if the fit might be right. I work with adults of all ages and children and adolescents 10 years of age or older.

As we journey through life, we encounter obstacles and challenges through the interactions we have with our family, our friends, and our environment that shape our reactions to the world around us and impact our self-perception. We may be unaware of how these behaviors negatively impact our day to day interactions and functioning that may be hindering our potential, leading to existential crises and feelings of aimlessness and hopelessness.

I believe everyone holds the key to access their most genuine, authentic self. Navigating through this thing called life can be complicated and challenging. Working together, I aim to provide a safe space to explore your inner strengths and capture internal resources. Through my experience working with anger, anxiety, and depression, I've learned that the strongest factor in therapy is the collaborative relationship. Together, we can address the issues you identify as problematic in your life. I promise to provide a therapeutic space that allows you to reclaim your strengths and propel you towards your self chosen path.

Everyone has struggles from time to time and sometimes we find that they are just really hard to overcome on our own. Having someone to talk through these struggles with can make a huge difference. I’m here to talk through these struggles with you and determine what the best choice of action is. The goal is to help you learn healthier ways to navigate through life in the future on your own.
