Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I work with adults, couples, moms, and Black women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. As a mom myself, I understand the weight of balancing caregiving, relationships, work, and your own emotional well-being. I’m especially passionate about supporting Black women as they navigate the pressures of being “strong,” people-pleasing, and learning to prioritize themselves without guilt.

My practice is inclusive, affirming, and judgment-free. I proudly support LGBTQIA+ individuals, nontraditional and kink-positive relationships, and clients exploring intimacy and sexual wellness through sex therapy. My goal is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong background in trauma-informed care, anxiety treatment, and grief work. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and respectful of your lived experience. I understand how past trauma, chronic stress, and life transitions can shape the nervous system and impact daily functioning, even when life looks “okay” on the outside. My role is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences while building practical tools for healing. I value authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection in the therapeutic relationship.

"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." Soren Kierkegaard

Unfortunately, most of us have been impacted by a traumatic experience or by multiple traumatic events.

Very few of us are immune.

Thus, the need for Shadow Work.

As a Certified Trauma Psychotherapist and LCSW-C (#11130) for close to 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with people who are invested in undergoing the journey of untangling past trauma in order to excavate, illuminate, and cultivate a new sense of Self. As a Resilience Practitioner, who is primarily psychodynamically-oriented, I embody an integrative approach as each person seeking assistance has unique needs.

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 Maryland

Searching for therapists in Maryland starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. Maryland has a wide range of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available specialties can vary by location. You might look for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Maryland therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with the concerns you want to address.

Practical fit matters too. If you live near Baltimore, Annapolis, Silver Spring, or another part of Maryland, consider whether in-person sessions are easy to reach or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and what to expect in a first session.

The cost of therapy in Maryland can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Maryland therapists who accept insurance, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your plan and location as you search. 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.
