Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Baltimore, MD

In these stressful times you may find yourself struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression that have long been with you or have emerged in response to recent events. You may feel hopeless about the future or plagued about the past feeling a strong sense of disconnection from yourself or others. Even attempts to talk to friends or family fail as they may not know or understand how to help you. Regardless of the specific nature of your difficulties, their impact is palpable, affecting your health, your relationships and self-perception. Whatever the struggle, you are looking for some help.

Let's work through the dark emotions together. With support it can once again feel safe to rekindle hope and reprocess the felt memories that stick. We will focus on your goals and view you as capable with strengths. Hope and healing is possible.

Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Are you feeling overwhelmed or just plain stuck in life?

“I’m responsible. I’m not good enough. I’m not safe.” These messages replay in your mind during conflict, in relationships, at your job, or in your day to day. These thoughts make it hard to set boundaries in your family or relationships, pursue your interests, passions, or personal goals without guilt, or feel connected to your emotions. These core beliefs developed throughout your life but they do not have to define your present.

Finding the right therapist can be a great investment in your self growth and healing. I believe that everyone is deserving of support - my goal is to hold a non-judgmental and compassionate space for you to identify and work toward your goals. I am a queer-identified clinical social worker who practices from an anti-oppressive, intersectional feminist lens. I work with adults (18 and over) and specialize in supporting those who have experienced trauma, attachment wounding, anxiety, substance use, and dissociation, and those who are systems or plurals. I also love providing therapy to other therapists.

Our patients come from a range of backgrounds, and participate in services such as medication management, psychological assessment, therapy, and PRP.

Welcome! Many individuals have experienced traumatic events and/or adverse experiences that resulted in posttraumatic stress. My specialty is treating survivors of abuse. I work with adolescents and adults using a client centered approach to develop the skills necessary to decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. Additionally, I treat symptoms of ADHD in adolescents and adults. Treating mental health also includes treating the brain and the body. I have over 20 years experience in fitness and nutrition that can be brought into the treatment process for a more holistic approach to healing.

People often come to therapy when they are seeking relief from mental or emotional pain. I believe much of this inner pain comes from the methods we learn throughout our life to protect us from troubling thoughts and emotions, as well as from the difficulties in our environment. In psychotherapy, deep and lasting healing occurs when we develop awareness into the nature of our thinking and feeling, how they are shaped by experience, and the important functions they serve in the ways we manage our lives.

Our past can teach us a lot about ourselves and how we not only see the world but also how we react to it. I’m here to help you explore those significant moments that may have set you on this path, and reframe your thinking so that you can overcome those negative thoughts and emotions that may be keeping you from being the best version of yourself you can be. Through cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness based interventions, like guided meditation, body scanning, and breath work, I will help you create new habits that will set you on a path to becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be.

Navigating life can be wonderful and exciting, but also challenging. New stages bring on new, experiences, dynamics, and relationships. Whether you are going through a transition or find yourself repeating the same unwanted patterns, I provide a safe environment to help you examine your inner struggles and work toward personal growth. Using a client-centered, and strengths-based perspective, I will partner with you in a process of self-discovery and actualization. I am passionate about helping adolescents, and adults. Being a part of your growth process in creating meaningful relationships, is what I do best.

In addition, I help clients identify and change patterns of interacting with others that are causing challenges in their relationships.

My patients would say that I am warm, engaging, creative, and non-judgemental.

My goal is to give you tools to figure out how to make your life work for you. One of my best traits is my availability. I return calls promptly and will spend after hours on the phone .Many patients have told me that I am the first therapist who ever helped them...and that is what my job is about.

People consult therapists for many reasons. Being a psychotherapist is a great privilege - to meet people at critical times, to come to know them deeply, and to help them sort out bewildering, sometimes frightening, often painful thoughts and feelings. Therapy is about relationships, past and present, and especially our relationship to our own interior. It's been my life's work to help people know themselves and make better decisions about their lives. I'm happy to see anyone, with the will, integrity, and courage to open up and work on themselves in depth.

Many of my clients come to therapy seeking healthier ways to communicate with others and address their own issues with self regulation. Often times they need to understand how to "connect the dots", between their present state of functioning and unresolved issues from past hurts, traumas, and patterns of behavior.

I am a licensed psychologist with years of experience working with men and women of all ages: adolescents, adults, and seniors. I work with people struggling with major life challenges, such as substance abuse, trauma, behavior problems, and personal crises. I also work with people who need some help getting through a difficult time, or who are interested in better understanding themselves, and improving the quality of their lives and relationships. My approach is supportive and insight-oriented, while keeping a focus on the choices that you are making that may impact your situation.

NOW OFFERING TELETHERAPY. Therapeutic art making, facilitated by a licensed art therapist (me!), can help you to explore feelings, resolve conflicts, work through difficult behaviors and addictions, reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase self-esteem.

I am a licensed art therapist and counselor, as well as a sand tray therapist, who works with adolescents and adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma and many other emotional difficulties. In addition, I am now incorporating EMDR into my practice.

My clients seek help for various life problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, family relationship and marital issues, mood disorders, trauma disorders, addiction, just to name a few.
