I am beyond grateful to be able to provide a safe space for my client's to process stress, learn new things, and have their most vulnerable moments. So much of the time we try to ignore or push away our problems, but part of my job is to remind you that its okay not to be okay and sometimes life just sucks. I love helping teens and young adults with all of the transitions that come with growing up, the good and the bad. I also have experience with and enjoy working with individuals with Autism.

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

Humans heal through relationships. Our wounds form in connection, and it's in connection that they're repaired. This is especially true for couples: the patterns that cause pain are often the same patterns that, with the right support, can become a source of deep healing and renewed closeness. Working together means creating a safe space to slow down, understand each other's underlying needs, feeling and sensitivities, and rebuild trust and connection from the ground up.

This process can be challenging and may surprise you, but it often leads to real growth, deeper intimacy, and lasting change that is ultimately liberating.

I see therapy as a space for connection, self-discovery, and becoming more grounded in who you are. After 10+ years in this field, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t have to be complicated or clinical - it can be honest, real, and human.

I’d like to consider myself a down-to-earth therapist who believes we often carry more strength, wisdom, and ability to heal and grow than we realize. I believe in caring for the whole person and exploring the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, including through movement, time in nature, and simply listening to what our bodies are telling us. My heart has always been in empowering people to navigate the different parts of themselves, understand their experiences, and feel more confident in who they are becoming. I want my clients to feel seen, supported, and free to simply be themselves.

My primary population focus is teenage girls and young women, supporting them through family and women’s issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, anger management. But everyone is welcome here, if you feel a good vibe and think i'm a good fit for you, reach out, i'd be happy to help.

My approach incorporates CBT, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

I bring compassion, honesty, good energy, and a genuine belief that growth doesn’t require you to become someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, embracing all the different parts of who you are, and discovering the strength and potential that have been there all along. I’ll meet you where you are, walk alongside you through the hard parts, and challenge you when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of ✨

Happy patient looking away

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 Therapist in Towson

Searching for therapists in Towson starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, training, and therapy styles that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, what populations they work with, and what you can expect from their approach.

In a smaller city like Towson, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Maryland. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, how soon you want to start, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and scheduling fit in one place.

Therapy in Towson can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

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