I'm a psychologist who doesn't believe in therapy that spins its wheels. I've worked with adults for over two decades — through addiction, grief, anxiety, trauma, and the complicated stuff that doesn't have a clean label. I'm direct, I don't dance around things, and I use humor when it helps move things forward. Most of my clients come in having already tried something else. My job is to figure out why that didn't stick and do something different. I work in Baltimore in person and virtually across Maryland and Psypact-authorized states.

With over 30 years of experience as a psychologist, I bring deep understanding, compassion, and a relational approach to my work. As a former Director of a university counseling center and an adjunct faculty member in psychology for over 15 years, I’m passionate about supporting growth, resilience, and self-discovery, especially during times of transition.

My approach is warm, affirming, and culturally sensitive. I value the unique experiences each person brings and work to create a safe, collaborative space for reflection and healing. Outside of my professional life, I’m a mother of two grown daughters, and I draw on both my personal and professional experiences to inform a caring and authentic therapeutic style.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Baltimore, MD

Searching for couples therapists in Baltimore starts with clarifying what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not every therapist has specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of relationship concerns they commonly support.

Baltimore has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Canton, Hampden, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon, and that range can make it harder to narrow the search. For couples counseling in Baltimore, the right fit needs to work for both partners’ schedules, commute preferences, and appointment format. Some couples prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions to make scheduling easier from separate locations. As you compare therapists, look for appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit for couples specifically.

Couples 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 see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find Baltimore couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling options that match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
