Services
Individual Psychotherapy
Personalized psychotherapy sessions address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Using psychodynamic and evidence-based approaches, I help clients develop coping strategies and self-awareness. Sessions focus on improving mental health through structured, confidential discussions tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.
Telehealth Sessions
Secure virtual therapy sessions conducted through HIPAA-compliant video conferencing. This service provides accessible mental health care for clients preferring remote sessions. Technical support ensures smooth connections, with insurance coverage available for qualifying patients through CareFirst BCBS and Johns Hopkins EHP plans.
Trauma Therapy
Specialized treatment for trauma survivors using evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on processing traumatic experiences, reducing symptoms, and rebuilding emotional resilience. The approach integrates psychodynamic principles with trauma-specific interventions to address both immediate concerns and long-term healing.
Anxiety Management
Targeted therapy for anxiety disorders and chronic stress. Techniques include cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and coping skill development. Sessions help clients understand anxiety triggers and implement effective management techniques to improve daily functioning and quality of life.
Grief Counseling
Compassionate support for individuals navigating grief and loss. Sessions explore emotional responses to bereavement, life transitions, and significant changes. The therapeutic process helps clients develop healthy coping mechanisms and find meaning in their experiences while respecting individual mourning timelines.
