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.

I value authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection in the therapeutic relationship.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Maryland with a background in both medication management and therapy — and I believe the best care happens when we tailor it to you. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and depression, and I work with patients who want a provider who actually listens before deciding anything. Many of the people I see found me through their community — they wanted someone they could trust, who'd take the time to get to know them. My approach is warm and direct: I'll tell you exactly what I'm thinking and make sure every session reflects where you are right now.

I have a double Master's and a Doctoral degree in psychology. I began my graduate study In NYC in 2006 doing research and clinical work in attachment theory both with young children and adults. It was there that I witnessed the impact of early and adult attachments. I have trained and worked in a variety of settings and each time I witnessed the fundamental human need of a secure, responsive and safe connection and the impact of isolation and trauma.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Baltimore

Finding postpartum therapists in Baltimore starts with looking for someone whose training matches the kind of support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support people during pregnancy, after loss, or through changes in family roles. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum depression therapy, postpartum depression counseling, or a PMH-C credential in their profile, which can signal specialized training in perinatal care.

Baltimore has a broad mental health care community, and the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near neighborhoods like Federal Hill, Hampden, or Mount Vernon, or close to work, transit, or home. Virtual care can also make therapy more practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for availability, therapy approach, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation, so you can choose someone who fits your needs and schedule.

Therapy in Baltimore can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Baltimore who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your area — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and is ready to see new patients.

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