Hello! If you are struggling to manage life; your day-to-day activities, your relationships, the needs of your family or work (or all!), I am here to support and guide you. Life can often feel overwhelming as so many of us strive to keep juggling an ever-growing list of things to do. The world moves fast, and we don't always take the time and space we need to care for ourselves. As a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 16 years of experience, I have worked with adults, families and children with a very wide range of concerns from mild to severe; for example, anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral disorders are some of the issues I treat. I utilize a number of different therapeutic approaches to address the needs of clients. What is most important to me is to set a safe, calm therapeutic space to begin those first steps towards a life of peace and fulfillment. I'm easy to talk with, which is important when we're talking about tough things. I received my master's degree in social work from the University of Pennsylvania, with a mission to make a difference in people's lives and I continue to let that mission guide my work with clients. Reach out to me to schedule an appointment and we'll get started on moving your life in a positive direction.

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Baltimore

Finding postpartum therapists in Baltimore starts with looking for someone whose training matches the kind of support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support people during pregnancy, after loss, or through changes in family roles. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum depression therapy, postpartum depression counseling, or a PMH-C credential in their profile, which can signal specialized training in perinatal care.

Baltimore has a broad mental health care community, and the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near neighborhoods like Federal Hill, Hampden, or Mount Vernon, or close to work, transit, or home. Virtual care can also make therapy more practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for availability, therapy approach, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation, so you can choose someone who fits your needs and schedule.

Therapy in Baltimore can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Baltimore who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your area — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and is ready to see new patients.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
