In-Person in Towson, Maryland, and Online in 35 States
Jessica* is on edge. Her parents constantly fight, and as much as they try to hide it, it’s affecting the whole family. At 18 years old, she’s the oldest of her siblings and has suddenly been thrust into the role of supporter and caregiver. She’s always been a good student, but lately, her grades are slipping with all of these added responsibilities. And she doesn’t really care.
Nothing seems to matter; life feels out of control, and Jessica can barely recognize the person she’s become. Friends have noticed a change in her behavior, and things keep getting worse. She needs help but doesn’t know where to turn.
Allison* feels regret. She can’t believe that her anger got the better of her again. A silly fight with her younger sister became heated – insults were hurled, threats were made, and in a moment of rage, Allison pushed her sister to the ground. She’s okay this time, but what if it happens again?
“Why am I so angry?” She wonders. “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I control myself?”
The guilt is overwhelming, and she feels unlovable and ashamed. Things have been this way ever since her family moved. She misses her friends and feels so alone. She wishes she could talk to someone, but who would understand?
Jack* feels alone. At 26 years old, he thought he’d finally found the one in Megan, but now, it’s over. No more late-night phone calls, date nights, or constant texting. It used to be so easy to meet people, but that’s all changed.
Questions bombard his mind. “What did I do wrong? Why doesn’t she want to be with me anymore? How will I meet someone now? What if I’m alone forever?”
It seems hopeless. He can barely muster the energy to get out of bed and shower, let alone go out with friends. Every day, he retreats further into himself. The future feels so bleak. Something needs to change.
Sara* is always worried. She’s a senior in high school, and lately, it feels like everything she does will have massive effects on her future. It started with school assignments – one rewrite turns into two, which turns into four, and so on. It’s never good enough, and she simply can’t bring herself to turn in something that isn’t perfect. This cycle of perfectionism and inadequacy has crept into every part of her life.
Sarah lays in bed at night, replaying the previous day’s interactions in obsessive detail. “Did I say something wrong? Was I awkward? Is everyone laughing at me?” Panic is becoming a constant companion. She needs help.

Hi, I’m Anita.
For over 20 years, I’ve been a clinical psychologist, helping teenagers and adults make sense of their situations.
Whether you’re suffering from depression or anxiety, navigating life transitions, or coping with a traumatic experience, I am confident that I can intervene to inspire hope and bring about healing.
In our sessions, you’ll get to know yourself better and feel more self-assured in handling the symptoms that used to leave you feeling helpless, confused, and without hope.
Let’s work together to identify your life goals and create a plan uniquely tailored to your strengths and needs to help you achieve them.
Commit to therapy. Commit to yourself. You don’t have to feel lost and alone any longer.
Doing the Work. Getting the Results.
Jessica
Jessica met me for an appointment and was immediately encouraged to find a place where she could freely express her feelings without worrying about consequences. Through our work, she learned the all-important skills of self-care and setting boundaries. She began to honor her limits and not beat herself up for them. Now, her parents have started couples therapy, and Jessica feels calm and hopeful.
Allison
Allison felt defeated when she reached out to me, ashamed of her anger and behavior. Through our work, she learned to identify the triggers of her anger and how to avoid them. We then explored the root causes of these feelings and began to change these old patterns at the source. Now, Allison allows herself to feel anger healthily but no longer lives at the mercy of where her anger might take her.
Jack
Jack was hesitant to talk about the depth of his depression and loneliness. But as he slowly became more comfortable in our sessions, he was amazed at the freedom and relief he felt in finally opening up. As we worked through the pain of his breakup, he began to discover hope for the future again. Now, he feels more confident and truly believes that he’ll find the happiness and companionship he deserves.
Sara
Sara was exhausted when she called me for her consultation. She was motivated to change, but her chronic worry stood in her way. Through our work, she learned new mindfulness and relaxation techniques to calm her anxiety before it spiraled out of control. She began sleeping again and stopped living in fear of panic. Now, she feels confident and resilient, knowing anxiety no longer controls her life.
