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.

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!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is very organized and good at helping when I know I need help but I don't know where to start. It is an incredibly overwhelming process and it's so nice to have someone to help.
