I am a licensed clinical social worker experienced with 22 years of practice and a former connection with public safety as a First Responder. I have worked in a hospital, school, and clinical settings with groups, individuals, and families; all of which has imbedded in me a deep understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. As a dedicated therapist with a rich background in crisis intervention and community support, I bring a unique blend of experience and compassion to my work. I enjoy working with individual teens, adults, couples, and families around a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Spectrum, relationships, divorce, blended families, parenting, anger management, and low self-esteem; struggling with the challenges of everyday life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; where I assist in increasing self-awareness and personal strengths so there can be new perspectives gained while decreasing unwanted symptoms, and people can have a more meaningful life experience. I want to offer support, insight and compassion to help you cope with or overcome your challenges. I will work with you to facilitate positive change and the adoption of healthier attitudes and responses; you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Baltimore, MD
Finding addiction therapists in Baltimore starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. Some therapists may use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Baltimore has many counselors and therapists across neighborhoods, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Consider practical details like office location, commute, appointment times, and whether virtual sessions fit your schedule. If weekend therapists or evening appointments would make care easier to attend, use availability as part of your search. Recovery can be non-linear, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental approach and experience with addiction care. Reading bios can also show how a therapist talks about their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Baltimore can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find addiction therapists in Baltimore who are accepting new patients, review their profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, format, and approach, then book directly when you’re ready.
