ADHD Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Living with anxiety/OCD/ADHD, feeling as if living "between two worlds" by virtue of all of your intersecting identities, and feeling confused about why your past haunts you (and why your most important relationships are suffering) can culminate in helplessness and despair. By creating a non-judgmental, open, and relational space for both reflection and exploration, I can meet you as you are and help you forge and narrate a path that fits. I help you better understand why you experience yourself and the world as you do and identify how you can be more present and move forward with tools, skills, and greater agency in your life.

Hi! As a therapist, it is my privilege and passion to work with individuals to overcome challenging relationships, life stressors or transitions, and loss. I believe in a collaborative, person-centered, and strength-based perspective. Through individualized treatment using an ACT approach, I work to empower clients as they take those first small intentional steps in choosing the life they want in the face of challenges or struggles. I appreciate the opportunity to walk alongside you and provide support as we work towards personal growth and a fulfilling life that feels authentic to you.

I am a psychologist specializing in CBT for anxiety, OCD and depression. CBT is an evidence-based therapy that is proven to help people overcome thinking patterns that cause distress and prevent them from living the life they want. As a scientist-practitioner, I am committed to providing evidence-based treatment, including CBT, mindfulness, ERP, and PE. However, science can only take us part of the way. Your expertise in your lived experience is needed to complete the journey to your therapeutic destination. For this reason, I will collaborate with you to tailor your therapy experience to your unique challenges, needs, and values.

Are you someone with high functioning anxiety or depression? OCD or ADD/ADHD? Maybe that pesky inner critic won't be quiet, or you hyperfocus on mistakes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of thoughts racing through your mind? Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to stay focused on one task?

If these experiences sound familiar, you may be dealing with ADHD. It can be frustrating to feel like you're always falling behind or not living up to your potential.

Children, adolescents and young adults sometimes experience stress related to school, activities, challenges at home, or periods of transition. These stressors may lead to mood swings, changes in behavior and difficulty expressing emotions and thoughts. My role as a therapist is to help kids and young adults cope with stress and learn strategies to maintain an emotionally balanced life. I provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and then work with individuals and families to develop an individualized treatment plan that draws from the client's existing strengths. I utilize evidence-based treatment primarily drawing from CBT.

I believe that feeling heard, understood, and validated is the first step to a therapeutic relationship in which growth to one's potential can occur. Recognition and affirmation of strengths is important to my approach. Being sensitive to an individual's life experience is central. I focus on one's feelings, thoughts, stressors and resources, as well as try to understand the individual and cultural history from which issues evolve. I apply a variety of approaches including mindfulness-based, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic. I have many years of experience working with individuals with a wide array of concerns.

Are you and/or your child open to the challenging and vulnerable, but beautiful journey that is exploring/bettering overall mental health? If so, you've come to the -not-so- perfect place!
