Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Owings Mills, MD

I’m a therapist with more than 10 years experience in the field, in a wide variety of different settings. I prefer to utilize a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused perspective in providing treatment, and I'm highly practiced in a variety of CBT-based techniques. I'm happy to speak at length with patients about childhood traumas, their subconscious needs, and the impact of family upbringing on their adult lives- but that doesn't have to be therapy!

I’m a therapist with a deep commitment to inclusivity, embracing individuals from diverse backgrounds. I adopt a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. My practice is founded on the belief that true healing involves addressing the individual. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is culturally sensitive, affirming, and inclusive. By understanding the unique experiences and perspectives of each client, I utilize a tailored approach to meet clients’ specific needs.

I am a Board-Certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and psychotherapist with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health. I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential to living a balanced and fulfilling life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. Since 2022, I have focused my practice on mental health therapy after years of working in substance use treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and navigate life's challenges. My goal is to help individuals achieve meaningful, lasting growth and emotional well-being.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

I work with people who feel like life is happening to them—those carrying anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress, still feeling the weight of past experiences or painful relationships, or noticing that old coping patterns like substance use no longer do what they used to. Most of the people I see arrive with a growing sense that something isn't working, and a willingness to try something different. My approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on understanding what's getting in the way and building a path forward together.
