I am a seasoned clinician with over 25 years of experience in behavioral health, specializing in trauma treatment and systems-level care. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). When someone enters treatment, they will be greeted by someone who brings a depth of clinical insight to the therapeutic setting. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space that allows clients to vent, process, and manage the challenges that brought them into treatment. Throughout my career, I have teamed with individuals and organizations navigating high-stress environments. My career in the fire department has shaped a focused expertise in trauma management, crisis response, and post-incident recovery.

Hi, I'm Tim, and I am an LCPC. I believe that there is no growth without challenge, and I have embodied that belief by spending the past several years furthering my education in the field of psychology. I received my Master of Science in Clinical and Professional Counseling from Loyola University Maryland. I have spent several years gaining experience in providing psychotherapy and incorporating nature into my work, most notably by helping Native Americans in Baltimore City and working with the Center for Nature-Informed Therapy. Whether it is through a traumatic experience, grief, or a lifelong struggle, these experiences can be overwhelming and leave us feeling lost. We need help through these times, and with a caring but firm approach, I can help you through your most challenging time.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time,enjoying one moment at a time;accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; This prayer stays near my heart as it has helped me remain resilient during my personal times of hardship. As a former foster child who entered foster care at the age of 12 and aged out, I have a passion for serving children and adolescents who have similar experiences. However, this does not limit my empathy for serving individuals and groups who are committed to improving their mental health. I am an older sister of 10 siblings (8 of them being all boys). Therefore, I have the skills, abilities, and patience to build therapeutic relationships with children and adolescents seeking to build resilience and fortitude in improving their mental health and well-being. My approach to therapy includes, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, and Solutions-Focused. I love to listen to music in my free time as well as spend time with friends and family enjoying a competitive game night. Looking forward to working with you!

Self Esteem
Listening to others' stories and supporting them in finding positive paths through challenges has always felt like a natural calling. Even as a child, friends would often reach out, and my mom would joke, "Is the doctor in?" Later on, this passion led to volunteering with kids in creative programs and working in hospice care, where deeper connections were formed. These experiences led to a rewarding role at an outpatient community clinic, where people from all walks of life could share their unique journeys and struggles. My work with clients have included helping those navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. The ideal clients are those who are open to exploring interventions and truly wish to understand themselves more deeply. Therapy is not about achieving perfection but rather finding new perspectives on who we are and how we engage with the world around us. Healing and personal growth rarely follow a straight path, and it's the patience and willingness to try that often make the difference in finding the right way forward.

If you've been looking for a place to let your hair down, in a judgement free zone this is the place for you. I believe therapy should be genuine—not overly formal or intimidating. Our approach centers on unconditional positive regard, making sure every client feels respected and valued. We focus on understanding what happened to you, rather than what's "wrong" with you, using a trauma-informed approach to help break down experiences in an accessible way.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Maryland rather than a city like Baltimore?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Maryland from Hagerstown to Ocean City! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Maryland.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
