Couples therapists in Baltimore, MD

At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, experiences, and hopes for the future. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered to live a healthier, more fulfilling life and relationships.

As a Doctor in Nursing Practice, I have been in healthcare for over ten years, which has prepared me to manage my patients with evidence-based treatment modalities. I bring compassion and commitment to my practice of caring for the holistic needs of my patients, which entails a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the patient’s psychological, emotional, and physical well-being, also creating a plan of care that will optimize a favorable outcome in a realistic, goal-oriented length of time, with the patient’s buy-in.

I am objective as it applies to one’s life.

Further, I am non judgemental. I help one to find their way to healing and wholeness.

I have 19 years of experience as a clinical social worker having worked in school settings, hospital settings and outpatient clinic settings. I completed my Master's Degree in Social Work in 2007 and have practiced clinical social work since that time as an LCSW-C. Most of my career has been spent as a mental health therapist, I have been in private practice since 2019. I take a holistic and client centered approach to therapy, often focusing on relationship, mood, anxiety and family issues. I use a mindfulness approach to treatment and often incorporate CBT in sessions, helping clients understand the connection between thoughts and behavior.

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

Hi, there! My name is Summer, and I'm so glad you're here.

I have over 12 years of experience in a variety of settings, including universities, private practice, hospitals, and schools. I have specialized training in maternal mental health, ADHD, and parenting. I earned a Doctorate in Social Work from Tulane University and my Bachelor's in psychology and Master's in social work are both from Case Western Reserve University.

I help individuals and couples who feel overloaded, anxious, or stuck. Life can be exhausting when stress, anxiety and relationship problems start piling up. You might be doing everything you can to keep going, but still feeling tense, misunderstood and worn down. When things feel heavy for too long, it can impact your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to show up the way you want to.

I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk openly without judgment. My work is focused on helping you understand what you’re feeling, why it’s happening, and how to get relief. You’ll get support that feels real, straightforward, and grounded.

I offer no judgement and offer a space for you to safely discuss any issues you're navigating. I help you to move forward feeling feeling empowered and autonomous.
