Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or not your first rodeo in the therapy arena, finding the right therapist for you is a Big Freaking Deal! You’ve likely been doing tireless research, visiting websites, unsure if you’ll find someone who truly gets you. What you want is… A therapist who is R-E-A-L, doesn’t hide behind a clipboard, nods and won’t just say “mm-hm” to everything that comes out of your mouth, or ask you 100 times “how does that make you feel?” You want a therapist whom you can sense a connection with and see that this person might understand you, better than you understand yourself. This may sound like a tall order, but you deserve to find the BEST possible person to do this life-progressing work with. The badass go-getter in me recognizes the badass go-getter in you!

You’re ready to take the leap, no matter how scary it might be. You want someone who is willing to take this journey with you and push you towards the progress you want to make in your life! You’re ready to take the risk of learning new ways to handle problems that keep coming up and let go of your old ways of doing things.

Sometimes, life throws us a curveball. We start feeling like something isn't quite right, or we are going through significant changes in life and would like some guidance. Whether you are having issues with anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity, college transitions, trauma, relationship concerns, or grief and loss, I can help you through a difficult situation. Having someone to talk to who understands your personal situation can be life-changing. While I've worked with a wide spectrum of clients over the years, clients in my practice are between 16-60 years of age who have difficulty with anxiety, depression, and/or interpersonal relationships. Goals related to these difficulties are often managing anxiety, increasing coping skills, improving relationships, and processing trauma if present. I am a licensed social worker with 15 years of clinical experience. I have worked with a vast majority of mental health issues and concerns ranging from personal life, work, and relationship issues. My youngest client has been 6, and my oldest client has been 90. I have experience working with various mental health diagnoses. My training focused on assessment and treatment of varying concerns. This includes utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities. Still, I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy, tailoring services to the individual's personal story, and utilizing an integrative approach.

Hi, I'm David. I am a licensed social worker from Baltimore, Maryland. I have almost a decade of experience helping children, adults, and couples navigate life. As an adult, I'm constantly reminded of how misguided I was and how much my village didn't teach me. I used to be resentful because I felt like I was forced to survive and be resilient. As if navigating the world as a Black man wasn't hard enough. These days, I recognize that while the life I was subjected to wasn't my fault, I am entirely responsible for what happens now. I firmly believe change starts with a strong sense of self. If you don't know who you are, how can you be anything for anyone else? Knowing who you encompass understanding what you can and will not tolerate. Learning how to cope with disappointment and maintain boundaries that protect the person you're becoming. Close your eyes, and imagine the life you want for yourself. Then make that appointment you've been putting off. Somebody has to help you figure out how to get there. Call us, let's talk.
