My journey to help others lead their best lives started over 15 years ago. I have worked to help children, youth, and adults offering them a range of therapy services to guide them through life’s challenges and most trying times. Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances. I use a blend of brain and body based therapies. My primary modality is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy), based on the Adaptive Information Processing model. Neuroscience and studies on Neuroplasticity are bearing out that the mind can heal itself. Old pathways and negative memories can be updated with new adaptive information. EMDR uses eye movements and other forms of physical tapping and Bi-Lateral stimulation to help the brain process old stuck memories and trauma. Not just for Big Trauma's like car accidents, it can help with many issues from the past, present and perceived future concerns including PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety and more specific issues such as religious abuse, shame, guilt and pain management.

I have worked in the helping profession for over 25 years because of my love for assisting populations to overcome issues, that hinders their ability to function to the best of their ability,using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Approach. Initially, I started with a background in Social Services to Families with Children, with a focus on stabilizing the family unit, by providing case management services and counseling to oppressed populations. My experience evolved into my role as a Mental Health Specialist, providing counseling and Resources to Social Service recipients, who were experiencing problems becoming gainfully employed due to mental health issues , such as Depression and Anxiety issues. A focus on removing the barriers prohibiting them to obtain employment was identified, and counseling / case management, and family issues were addressed. Substance Addiction/Abuse, and School Counselor is also a part of my expertise, and experience. I look forward to assisting my clients identify, address, and work through issues that prohibit them to move forward, and to live the best life possible.

I specialize in treating anxiety and stress in ‘normal’ people like yourself. My clients appear stable and successful, but quickly express they’re struggling - overwhelmed with frustration - even sadness. They tell me life seems persistently harder than a while ago, stuck in seemingly inescapable patterns with difficult problems. Then, more issues: job dissatisfaction, marital communication (even divorce) or parental challenges – a ‘Polycrisis’. Clients want to be heard and validated; I’ll listen. We’ll work together in a positive direction to restore order, enjoyment in life and self-confidence with a strong sense of satisfaction. My practical approaches focus on designing and implementing paths forward for specific definable problems, as well as your generalized angst. We’ll not just manage symptoms – we’ll also break old patterns you've operated on (perhaps for years) because of past trauma or other experiences; we'll build new ways of thinking, behaving and responding. I engage carefully to what is happening and we will cooperate on a response. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to validate your experiences with the urgency to address and resolve your challenges. I will help you create the fulfilment you envision.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply stuck, you're not alone. I work with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, addiction, and the everyday pressures that can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you care about. I also have a special interest in working with First Responders and individuals facing major life adjustments. Many of the people I meet have spent a long time trying to handle everything on their own. They may feel weighed down by self-doubt, struggling in their relationships, grieving a loss, or wondering why the same patterns keep repeating. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also helping you make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and conversational. Therapy with me isn't about simply talking through problems—it's about working together to better understand what's keeping you stuck, identifying your strengths, and developing practical tools you can use in everyday life. I tailor treatment to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches while creating an environment where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Whether you're a teenager trying to find your footing or an adult carrying burdens that have become too heavy to manage alone, my hope is to help you move toward greater peace, confidence, freedom, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Hi! I'm Bailey, and I provide therapy to residents of the state of Maryland - I'm glad you're here. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying a lot or facing one of life's most difficult seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard—a place where you don't have to navigate things alone. I specialize in supporting individuals and caregivers facing serious medical challenges, including those exploring or receiving palliative care or hospice/other end-of-life services. I have extensive experience helping patients and their loved ones navigate anticipatory grief, caregiver fatigue, difficult or complex medical decisions, and the emotional impact of serious illness. I am also a certified brain injury specialist (CBIS). This means I often work closely with caregivers of individuals affected by traumatic brain injuries (TBI), acquired brain injuries (ABI), and all types of strokes. Whether you're adjusting to a new diagnosis, learning to navigate long-term changes, or simply feeling the weight of caring for someone you love, therapy can offer a space to process, recharge, and find support. In addition, I have experience working with medical trauma and post-traumatic stress related to healthcare experiences, particularly following critical illness or intensive care stays. Medical events can leave lasting emotional wounds, and healing isn't just about recovering physically. Together, we can process those experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Grief is another area that I'm deeply passionate about. While many people associate grief with the death of a loved one, I recognize that, that "one" may not be a person. Grief can follow the loss of a person, a beloved pet, changes in health or identity, the end of a relationship, infertility, major life transitions, or the loss of the future you imagined differently. Whatever your grief looks like, it deserves space, compassion, and support. I believe therapy should be what *you* need it to be. For some people, that means having a safe, nonjudgmental space to vent, process emotions, and simply be heard. For others, it means taking a more structured, solution-focused approach with clear goals, practical tools, and strategies to create meaningful change. Most people find themselves needing a combination of both at different points in their journey—and that's okay. My approach is collaborative, flexible, and rooted in building an open, honest therapeutic relationship. I often describe my style as having an "open door" philosophy because our sessions are your time. Together, we'll decide what feels most helpful each session, and I'll meet you where you are rather than expecting you to fit into a particular model of therapy. I do want to note that as a straight, white therapist, I recognize that I do not share every lived experience of the clients I work with. However, I am committed to providing a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals where you are treated with respect, compassion, and without judgment. My goal is to continue learning, listening, and showing up as an ally so you can feel supported as your authentic self. I believe therapy should meet you where you are. Whether you're navigating loss, caregiving, trauma, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges while also celebrating your resilience, healing, and growth.
