Psychoanalytic Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. I’ve been working as a psychologist for over 18 years and I have consistently found the strongest predictor of success to be the strength of our relationship. I’m so glad you are considering reaching out for help and I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Sometimes it may feel like no one truly understands what you’re going through. Having a space where your experiences are heard can be helpful. I’m thankful we’ve connected, and I’m here to offer compassionate support.

I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

Welcome to Seven Hills Psychology. We specialize in providing comprehensive psychological services including: Adult psychotherapy Couples & family therapy Child & adolescent therapy Psychological assessment

Welcome! For me, this work is deeply relational in nature, as I find a steady, trusting relationship to be central for deeper exploration. Together, we can attend to both immediate concerns and deeper themes such as emotional experiences, attachment styles, and family-of-origin dynamics. I offer a warm, steady presence alongside attuned and practical feedback, supporting meaningful insight that can lead to lasting change. Online therapy offers us a wonderful opportunity to engage in this work from the comfort of your own space, while also offering flexibility when needed. Moves, new jobs, or growing families - our work can remain an anchor through the change. If you'd like to discuss working together, please reach out for a free consultation.

Baltimore residents face significant mental health challenges tied to the city's high rates of violence, poverty, and opioid addiction, driving strong demand for trauma-informed and addiction-focused therapists. The city is home to Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical Center, and many residents seek private therapy to complement or navigate care through these large institutions. Therapists in Baltimore frequently work with PTSD, grief, and community-level trauma across the city's diverse and deeply rooted neighborhoods. The proximity to Washington, D.C. also means many therapists serve commuters managing the particular stresses of a political and federal work environment.
