Therapists for college students near University of Maryland, Baltimore
Life is difficult; making sense of challenges and choices can be complicated. Times of stress can tax every relationship, even the relationship with our self. As a Professional Counselor my goal is to create a relationship in which you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions, assisting in discovering new opportunities for growth and change. In therapy we will cultivate, explore, and direct that change, working together to promote more authentic and satisfying ways of living. We will build a treatment plan and relationship that uniquely suits you, joining in understanding your past, paying attention to your embodied way of living, and creating new ways of being, socializing, and thinking. We all deserve happiness and understanding. Let’s clear the path to these together.
I’m a licensed therapist who works with teens, college students, and young adults navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, ADHD, and big life transitions. I show up to sessions with warmth, curiosity, and humor—and I welcome all the messy, complicated parts of being human. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and other mindfulness-based and behavioral approaches. Together, we build practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships—while also helping you face fears and uncertainty with courage and self-compassion. Another area of passion is helping young adults move away from rigid, disordered eating patterns and toward the freedom of intuitive eating by building self-awareness, distress tolerance, and self-compassion. I also have experience working with individuals who are questioning or struggling with their relationship to substances, including alcohol. Whether you’re in active use, exploring “gray area drinking,” or just curious about your coping patterns, I offer a non-shaming space to reflect on what’s working for you—and what might not be. I also support individuals impacted by a loved one’s substance use and can help you process your experience and set healthy boundaries.

The Baltimore Center for Psychotherapy holds a fundamental belief in the curative power of relationship. We understand that most suffering emerges out of relationships and, in turn, causes suffering that manifests in relationships. It follows that relationships hold the key to understanding, healing from, and transforming suffering, and that therapeutic work done in this method allows for both internal liberation and an opportunity for new thriving within relationships.

I believe how we think about our experiences and what we do in response matters as much as what actually happens to us. I help my clients develop awareness of their thoughts, feelings, action, and their bodies, and help them explore how those experiences might interact with one another, both in the past and present. I also believe in balancing acceptance and change, both in the work and in the therapeutic relationship itself. I strive to create a validating and nonjudgmental space for my clients, while gently challenging and supporting them to grow and make necessary changes. My approach is trauma and attachment-informed, and draws from various modalities, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness. I strongly believe in collaborating with my clients and tailoring the service to fit their unique needs. You may find working with me helpful if you… * Are feeling hopeless or overwhelmed with life * Are navigating through stressful life experiences * Are looking to live more fully in the present moment * Enjoy engaging in deep reflection about your past and present experiences * Want to process and better understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors * Appreciate therapy as a collaborative process * Seek a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can receive support but also be gently challenged to make necessary changes
We are so glad you have come across our practice in your journey toward growth and reflection. All are welcome here. Finding the right fit in a therapist is vital to creating a safe space where this work and evolution can take place. Do you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self? You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence. Together, we can work through these obstacles to help you connect with a deeper sense of well-being, and become more present in your daily life.

Life inevitably challenges our ability to stay balanced and centered throughout our day to day existence. Working with a psychologist can offer the breathing room needed to help make sense of our circumstances. The process of therapy and the journey of self-discovery in a supportive environment can help untangle confusing thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns that seem to be keeping you stuck. Whether you have feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, or a challenging life transition, I will collaborate with you to help you find clarity. I specialize in psychodynamic therapy which emphasizes how the totality of our life experience affects our view of the world. Through the process of exploring personal history and uncovering why we do the things we do when we do them, we enable ourselves to actively choose how we move through the world, rather than simply respond to our surroundings. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to begin this process. If you are contemplating this decision, feel free to call or email me and I will happily answer any questions or concerns that you may have about the therapeutic process.

Please don't hesitate to reach out and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. Thanks.

Hello and welcome. I am glad you are searching for help and hope my profile can provide a little more information about myself and my practice. I am a counseling psychologist with a background in the treatment of anxiety, depression and other common mental health concerns and a specialty in LGBTQI issues. I treat adults, couples (Gottman Method), and children/families (specifically those seeking support with LGBTQI issues). I am also a JHU alum and appreciate the challenges that come with adjusting to a rigorous academic environment, especially for first generation students, international students and those who have experienced pressure to achieve. I understand that college is a time for many people to explore their identity in general and know that sexual, sexuality and gender development is a big part of identity. If you are exploring these issues, you are certainly not alone. I specialize in working with issues related to sexuality and gender identity using culturally-competent approaches. I am a WPATH member, have authored several articles and book chapters on these issues and serve on SAMHSA's National Workgroup to Address the Needs of Children and Youth Who Are LGBTQI2-S. In terms of my style, I approach therapy from a humanistic lens supported by research findings. This means that I believe we all have universal needs and are during our best to meet them, even if sometimes it doesn't work so well. In my work with individuals, we explore not only emotional health but also personal goals, social and family life, physical health, academic/career progress, as well as other aspects of identity/culture (e.g. race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.). I value authenticity, vulnerability, creativity, and humor in therapy, though I know that is easier said than done. Please feel free to review my website for more information or contact me with any questions you may have. NOTE: Though my personal caseload is full, I may have a staff member with immediate availability. I am also happy to add you to my wait-list should you prefer. See below for more information.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a person-in-environment approach. I strongly value the therapeutic relationship and believe that for therapy to work, there has to be a good foundation between my clients and me. That being said, I ensure that the space we create is respectful and that clients maintain their autonomy throughout our work together! You know yourself better than I do, and your insight is incredibly valuable. If you're looking for a therapist who prioritizes autonomy, empathy, the therapeutic relationship, and incorporates humor within sessions, we might be a good match!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist & am currently accepting new patients. I enjoy working with a diverse group of individuals who have various levels of mental health challenges. One of my specialties is helping adolescents and young adults navigate the complexities of life. My approach to psychotherapy comes from an understanding that every individual is unique & that various life experiences as well as genetic makeup contribute to one's overall mental health. I take into account the particular needs of the person & focus on the current problem while also processing & exploring further in an attempt to identify & resolve the root of the issue.
Everyone has experienced trauma in their lives. Trauma causes us to over-adapt in our present lives. We may ‘overreact’ or shut down or just feel lost and stuck. But you don’t have to continue feeling like this! I strive to help clients believe in tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day. We can meet it as we are or we can meet it with a skill set that allows us to overcome our past. It is my goal to be a breath of fresh air to those whom I work with. I help my clients to understand trauma and its many effects on the brain and body. Frequently, my clients express that no other counselor has ever understood them in a more whole-hearted manner. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in Baltimore, Maryland and offer individual counseling to adults. I utilize evidenced-based treatment modalities for the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and in general terms, feelings stuck.
