Find a Therapist in Maryland

Are you or your teen having difficulty with relationships and want to learn new strategies to help stay calm and self-regulated despite intense feelings? Do past traumatic events negatively impact your current relationships? Are you or your teen feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, angry, or depressed? My approach to treatment is founded on developing a strong and empathic relationship with each patient, which facilitates meaningful changes, increased self-awareness, and personal growth. We can work together to develop skills that instill hope and confidence in your own, or your teen’s, ability to overcome life challenges that arise.

My journey to becoming a therapist started when I was on the other side of the couch as a teen battling anxiety. I got treatment that changed my life. I am here to do the same. Clients describe me as energetic, warm, positive, and non-judgemental. My style is often labeled as gentle and client led. I have a heart for advocacy and am comfortable coordinating with other providers, educational systems, employers, or government agencies. My approach is based on my belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship.

I help people to overcome obstacles and/or simply perform their best. I see awareness as a key and utilize a collaborative approach in the work I do with clients. Thoughts, emotions, physiology, and behaviors are brought into awareness. Building awareness of these factors, building awareness of relationship patterns (sometimes using the client/counselor relationship), and emotionally working through tough areas, often leads to feeling and performing better.

Individuals, families and couples realize, at some time, they need assistance to effectively deal with overwhelming life events, strained relationships, loss, anger, and life transitions. For over 20 years I have successfully helped people break self-defeating, unfulfilling patterns of relating and behaving so they can experience more joy, happiness and success in their personal and professional lives. I use a blend of psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and family systems therapy. My clients find me to be a very direct, open and engaging therapist, who provides safe space for even the most difficult issues and conflicts to be addressed and resolved.

Is your behavior driven by fear or anxiety? Are past traumas or a profound sadness or anger controlling your life instead of your highest self? If it seems like your life is going down a path that feels out of sync with who you truly are, then I can help you understand how you got here and how to get back on track.

Congratulations on taking this step in your journey of wellness. I look forward to having the pleasure of walking alongside you in this journey of empowerment! My background has been in in home services, specifically in foster care and adoptions. I have had the opportunity to work in diverse populations, including Baltimore City and Anne Arundel County treating depression, anxiety, bipolar, mood disorders, ADHD, and PTSD. **Caitlin is a board certified clinical supervisor.

I believe that we are all on our own journey through life and that the right journey for one person isn't necessarily the right journey for another. My job as a counselor isn't to tell you which one to take; it's to help you remove the roadblocks from your journey in an effort to make your choices in the future clearer for you. In order for counseling to be successful, the counselor and the client need to have a good connection to each other, and I strive to begin forming that connection from the very first meeting. I've worked with a wide variety of clients. Contact me and lets see how we can work together.
