Therapists in Towson, MD

*Psychology Today uses a non-secure form for email. To securely contact us, please visit our website.* You've landed here because you're searching for something: a lost spark of creativity, help navigating a difficult relationship, a safe place to process what's happening in the world, a deeper relationship with your true self, a way to move through hurt and pain. Therapy that works goes beyond talking. Therapy that leads to change helps us learn to be in our emotions so that we can move through them. Therapy that heals often shifts something inside of us, whether or not the situation changes too.

Finding a stable sense of well-being can feel like an uphill struggle. It is a continually moving target that requires effort, adaptability, and support to maintain. As a therapist, I provide that support by helping people process and work through the issues they face. And among life’s issues, accepting help can be one of the most difficult. Talking to a stranger about one’s problems is understandably daunting, which is why I strive to create a comfortable environment free of judgment and rich with compassion.
