LGBT therapists in Cockeysville, MD

Are you struggling to adjust to college, starting your career journey, or balancing relationships and self-care? The transition to adulthood has never been harder. I am here to help. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience providing counseling in schools, clinics and university-based settings. I have helped children, teens, and adults with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, trauma, ADHD and anger.

Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a "Patient Top Choice" and averaging 5 star ratings across google, zocdoc, vitals, rateMD, and webMD. I am a Johns Hopkins University and University of Maryland Alumna specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, alcohol use disorder, interpersonal effectiveness, and lifestyle psychiatry. I have 15 years of psychiatric experience. In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering (Baltimore City Public Schools).

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a primary care background. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. My focus areas are adults and geriatric patients.

Most of us never saw healthy communication growing up—and that makes connection feel harder than it should. As your relationship therapist/coach, I help individuals and couples develop relational competence so you can break old patterns, communicate with clarity, and create more secure and nurturing relationships.

• My in-person days: Tuesdays, Thursdays.
• My online days: Monday afternoon, Wednesday morning, Fridays.

I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.
