Below is a closer look at Devin in her own words:
What can clients expect in a first session with you?
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting a clear sense of what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. We’ll talk through your goals, current challenges, and your personal story at a pace that feels comfortable. I’ll also want to understand the broader context of your life—your identities, relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. We’ll explore what has helped in the past, what hasn’t, and begin thinking about what might feel supportive moving forward.
What populations do you especially enjoy working with?
I especially enjoy working with anxiety disorders, particularly social anxiety. I tend to connect well with people who identify as perfectionistic or intellectualizing, where thinking and analyzing can sometimes get in the way of feeling or connecting. I’m also passionate about supporting clients as they explore identity—especially in relation to race, culture, gender, and sexual orientation.
What’s something people often misunderstand about therapy?
A common misconception is that therapy is only about talking through problems in a serious or heavy way. In reality, the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of progress. Therapy can absolutely include difficult conversations, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. There’s room for humor, warmth, and genuine human connection within the process.
What helps you reset after a long day?
After a long day, I usually need some time to decompress—often involving a mix of rest, being outdoors, and spending time with friends. I also enjoy cooking, which helps me slow down and reset.
Are you more of a book, TV, or movie person?
I’m definitely more of a reader. Some recent favorites include Milk Fed by Melissa Broder and Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng. I’m also a big fan of horror movies and enjoy the genre quite a bit.
What’s a favorite local spot in Baltimore?
I have a few favorite reading spots around Baltimore—though the exact bench locations are, unfortunately, classified information. I also enjoy the Charles Theatre and grabbing tapas next door. For live music, I’m a fan of affordable shows at the Ottobar.
What’s something you’re currently enjoying or learning outside of work?
Lately, I’ve been enjoying playing piano and learning new pieces. Music has always been a meaningful creative outlet for me, and it’s something I continue to return to outside of work.
What does self-care mean to you?
Self-care isn’t about optimizing yourself or pretending everything is fine after a quick routine or mindfulness exercise. It’s about recognizing that life can be heavy, and finding small, sustainable ways to carry that weight. It also means building a life that feels meaningful, grounded, and aligned with your values—even in the midst of difficulty.
Therapy That Feels Human
Therapy with Devin is rooted in slowing things down enough to better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, not just what is immediately visible. It is a space for reflection, connection, and making sense of experience in a way that feels supportive and human. For clients seeking a thoughtful, relational approach to therapy, Devin offers a space where you can slow things down, make sense of your experience, and feel more connected to yourself in the process.
