Racial Identity Therapists in 21014

I’d be honored to serve you and to encourage you, someone made in the image of God with inconceivable value. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Biblical principles that can provide hope, redemption, grace, and strength to everyone who believes in them. The truth is, God has loved us from all from the beginning of creation, but due to sin (that is, going against God’s good and moral character in our actions and choices), all of mankind became separated from God, our Creator, who is the ultimate good and strength for our lives.

Every stage of life presents different challenges and obstacles. We can often handle life’s challenges with grace, but sometimes we need help, and that's OK. Sometimes we need help navigating the chaos of life to find the best path forward. I work with children, teens, adults, and families struggling with many issues including anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, ADHD, autism, LGBTQ+ issues, behavioral issues, school-related concerns, racial and cultural identity issues, parenting, trauma, divorce, grief, college and career counseling, and compassion fatigue. It would be my honor to support you on your journey to wellbeing.

I am a compassionate and skilled professional committed to guiding individuals on their healing journey. I specialize in client-centered treatment for both adolescents and adults, spanning ages 12 to 65. My approach is eclectic, drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic exercises and coping skills derived from various modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care.

As a professional who has been working with people for over twenty years, it is my goal to help each client achieve their goals, not my way but in a way that is comfortable for the client so that success can be achieved. Are you someone who is concerned with anxiety and depression? Addictions? Grief? Issues of acceptance with gender preferences? Infidelity? Abuse and trauma? Parents? Kids? Spouse? We can work through this together. You are not alone in facing any of these issues. It is how you move forward that will be the key to your healing and wholeness. I look forward to meeting with you.

As a therapist, I try to help clients navigate through difficult times. Whether it is a current challenge, or a past hurt, I provide encouragement and guidance to assist clients in their healing. I am trained in EMDR and qualified to provide supervision to graduate practitioners. My practice style is client centered. While I may use many different techniques in therapy, my focus is on treating each person in an individualized manner. Entering therapy is hard for any person, so I try to make it as painless as possible. Our first session will involve goal setting and figuring out what the client wants to achieve.

I am currently accepting new Teletherapy clients for daytime, evenings and weekends. I am interested in helping adolescents, adults, and couples; I have a background in serving diverse clientele. I will use a mix of direct client-focused therapies to help you thrive with your specific challenges.

I empower clients to consider their belief systems and align their core values. By specializing in meditative practices and creative outlets for stress management, I am able to help people understand the source of their suffering in order to reduce their anxiety. My experience also includes depression, transitional worries, identity confusion, and distress. It is my hope that my clients develop a deeper level of self-awareness so that they can manifest their dreams and act in accordance with their purpose.

I provide psychotherapy services to individuals. Treatment is individualized to clients' specific needs and I help to empower clients seeking to move forward, to achieve their wellness goals through a process of reflection and reasoning. I take a multicultural approach to treatment that considers racial and ethnic diversity as well as diversity in spirituality.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 30 years of working as a mental health clinician. I have extensive experience helping children, adults, and families. I have a heart for people who are struggling with issues of everyday life. Day after day, we feel pressures and struggles that can turn us into people we don't want to be. I want to help you overcome these problems and difficult situations. I believe everyone can change because personalities and brains are flexible and adaptive.

With the stress of the modern world, our hustle and bustle culture, and the limited time we have for connection today, people come to therapy looking for a place to let it all out. I am here to facilitate that safe space for you! If you have suffered from trauma, grief, or are adjusting to life stressors such as a new school, relationship, or more - I will help you find the concrete tools you need to get through. If you are noticing relationship patterns that you need to change, or are interested in integrating traumatic experiences so you can move forward in life, let's talk!

In order to experience our deepest recesses of joy and peace, we must first have the courage to face our fears. Therapy is a place to be brave about those fears and implement changes toward a happier and more fulfilling life. I aim to be an added support for your day to day journeys and impart any resources available at my disposal. I believe in being open and honest with my clients especially about our rapport, treatment plans, and even discussions of diagnosis.

My therapeutic approach to treatment is client-centered, strength-based, and trauma informed. Connecting with those who are ambitious to begin counseling and with those who are more hesitant. By developing a trusting relationship, I work with clients in a caring, supportive, empathetic, non-judging and nurturing manner to address challenges, identify strengths, and develop self-compassion.

Sometimes life happens and before we know it, we feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders and it can become overwhelming. Having a safe space to explore these feelings and navigate changes can instill positive and lasting skills to improve one’s quality of life. I specialize in working with individuals and families who experience anxiety/depression, self esteem issues, complex relationships, and life transitions.
