Welcome! I have been a licensed social worker in the state of Maryland for just over three years. I have worked with clients in outpatient settings since my social work career began. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing/have experienced symptoms related to generalized anxiety, OCD, and grief/loss. I have primarily worked with the adolescent and young adult populations, but I am open to working with clients of all ages.

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Baltimore, MD


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.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bel Air, MD

Searching for therapists in Bel Air starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People may look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Bel Air therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. Some therapists may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, family therapy, or experience with couples and marriage counseling in Bel Air, MD.

In a smaller market like Bel Air and the broader Harford County area, local therapist availability may vary by specialty, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still giving you access to therapists licensed in Maryland. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual appointments, how soon you want to start, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and experience before you book.

Therapy in Bel Air can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, many of whom accept insurance and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then review profiles 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.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
