More about me

Licensing: PhD, Licensed, Psychologist Years in Practice: 13 State: Maryland

Hello,

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Maryland with a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients with concerns including depression, anxiety, adjustment challenges, relationship difficulties, parenting and family challenges, and family violence. My professional experiences in counseling as well as consulting in the private sector have focused on promoting holistic well-being and helping people live out their full purpose and potential. My counseling style is client-centered, supportive, and empathic, and I incorporate cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches. My approach is grounded in trust, collaboration, and a deep appreciation and respect for clients’ multicultural experiences, identities, and perspectives. We will work together to discuss strengths and resources, identify areas of focus and change, set goals, and develop a tailored plan and tools to address your concerns and achieve your goals. I look forward to supporting and partnering with you in this process.

Thank you for taking this step and be well!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Dr. Woods is an amazing and compassionate therapist. When I first began therapy I didn’t know what to expect but my experience with Dr. Woods exceeded my expectations. She is wonderful at listening and will remember small details about you. She constantly challenges me to think about things in a new way and pushes me to try new strategies to tackle my problems. Almost every session she takes time to make a game plan with me about how to go into my week and it is always so helpful. Through our sessions I have learned so much about myself and my relationships and I have seen so much personal growth. She has helped me navigate through so many moments in my life and gave me the confidence to know I could do so. I will always be grateful to Dr. Woods and refer her to all my friends and family.

Overall

Dr. Woods is a wonderful counselor. She remembers details we have discussed in past sessions, and she offers compassionate listening as well. Dr. Woods challenges me to think differently about difficult circumstances and also offers ways to help me manage difficulties. It is hard work and I feel I have so far to go, but I look forward to the growth that will continue to take place with Dr. Woods’ help.
