Therapists Beginning With Y in Maryland

Thank you for reading my Bio.  I'm licensed in Arizona and Maryland. I'm fluent in English and Japanese. I'm experience in adult, collage students, graduate students, international students, second generation of immigrants, immigrants, Muti-racial/cultural populations, musicians and artists. I am trained to treat anxiety, depression and trauma issues. I practice Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Exposure therapy and Art Therapy.

I work with individuals who may be feeling “stuck”, but are ambitious, proactive, and motivated to make changes in their lives so they are living life joyfully and at peace. I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you gain the clarity you need to understand how your past may have contributed to current challenges, behaviors, emotions, beliefs, relationships; and also shaped you into the unique person you are today. Insight is the first step in empowering you with the skills to make necessary changes to improve your health and how you live your life. It is about showing up for yourself.

" If you are struggling trying to understand why you are feeling less satisfied, feeling depressed, anxious, as well as stress from family dynamics. Maybe you've had some pretty traumatic experiences that are affecting areas of life and you need help with regaining a sense of peace, I can help.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania. I am an informed Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (DBT) that has completed specialized training in delivering a dialectical approach to therapy. A DBT assumption that I carry with me is “everyone is doing the best they can”. My view of therapy is meeting others where they are currently at in their lives and allowing them to see the skills/strengths they already possess over time. Recently, I have been awarded the title of EMDR trained therapist.

We can't always control what life brings our way, but we can choose how we respond to it. I enjoy helping people reconnect with their natural wisdom in the midst of life's challenges. My goal is to help my clients gain awareness of what is already working in their lives and what patterns and habits have become outdated or self-defeating. A situation, problem or symptom that appears unworkable or overwhelming can offer the key to its own healing when held with gentle, inquisitive attention.

The road of life is like a journey that sometimes has speedbumps. Inevitably, when we keep traveling we can wear down. Counseling and therapy are like the pit stops to fix or replace what has been broken. Supporting individuals in their life journey is what I offer, where persons are able to evaluate, try new things, and receive encouragement toward making change. After all, counseling is the process of change. I am also trained in pastoral counseling and offer support to boost emotional and spiritual well-being.

In psychotherapy, the therapist and client commit to work together to facilitate change. My goal is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space as we focus on issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment, sexual identity/LGBTQ concerns, and traditional/non-traditional relationships. My approach to therapy is both holistic and mindful. I view the client as a whole, focusing on the need to bring the mind, body, and spirit into harmony while each element plays a role in healing and the creation of change.

My clients would describe me as genuine, engaged, and curious.
