Sowell Social Work

Whether you’re feeling stretched thin by everyday stress, navigating a major life transition, or stuck in relationship gridlock, you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone—or waste your therapy hour educating your therapist on how your world works. From artists, parents, and homemakers to monogamous couples, consensual non-monogamy (CNM) partners, and Beltway or military leaders, I offer a direct, judgment-free space where you can put the armor down and trade mind-reading and resentment for honest connection. Together, we replace "Guess Culture," where you hint and walk on eggshells, with "Ask Culture," where stating your desires and boundaries directly feels safe. Combining a structured, action-oriented roadmap with the Gottman Method, CBT, and Intercultural Communication, I help couples and individuals from all walks of life quiet anxious overthinking, rebuild trust, and reclaim their daily bandwidth. As a 20-year U.S. Army veteran and former Intelligence Community leader, I bring nearly three decades of mentorship, campaign organizing, and hard-earned wisdom that doesn't just come from a textbook. I offer in-person sessions overlooking the Baltimore Inner Harbor (Tue/Wed) and telehealth across Maryland (Mon afternoon–Fri). Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a fit.
