I provide structured, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and complex mental health conditions. I specialize in treating individuals who have had limited response to prior treatment and require a more personalized, clinically guided approach. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in both community and residential settings.
I am warm, real, and deeply invested in your healing. I believe therapy is a safe relationship where you can explore, process, and grow without judgment. I won’t rush your story, but I will help you find meaning, clarity, and strength within it. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that already know how to heal.
I have always enjoyed working with people. I have both a bachelors and master's in clinical social work. My experience over the past 30years includes working with grief, anxiety, depression, addiction/ recovery. I enjoy working with the military both active duty and veterans as I understand the military culture. You are not a diagnosis to me, but someone who has strengths that need to be bought to the surface.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Maryland
Finding the right therapist in Maryland starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and the type of provider who might be the best fit. Licensed therapists in Maryland include licensed clinical professional counselors (LCPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists, each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach before you reach out.
With providers practicing across Baltimore, the DC suburbs, Frederick, the Eastern Shore, and everywhere in between, Maryland has a large and diverse mental health care landscape. Narrowing your options by specialty, session format, and location can make the process more manageable. Many providers now offer both in-person and virtual sessions, which can be especially helpful if you live in a less densely served area or prefer the flexibility of meeting from home.
Therapy in Maryland can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can focus on finding the right clinical match rather than worrying about whether you can afford it.
