"Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Are your emotions, a complicated relationship, or health concerns weighing you down? Are you interested in finding creative solutions to your problems? If so, then perhaps counseling, art therapy, or some combination of the two, might be right for you! I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where you will learn how to take charge of your thoughts, emotions and actions while practicing better self-care and improving insight. My areas of expertise include: trauma, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, depression, anxiety, multicultural and LGBT concerns, existential dilemmas, spirituality and grief and loss."

"People come for psychotherapy when they are hurting or feeling stuck in unproductive thinking and behavior. This can manifest in depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, issues about career and work performance, illness, loss and grief and repetitive self deprecating behaviors. What is often needed is a safe environment for the cultivation of acceptance and compassion and the willingness to honestly explore in a trusting relationship. Developing space to have a new understanding of difficulties can open to greater awareness, sense of possibility and the capacity to live more fully."

"Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, LGBTQ issues, or have some behavioral practices you want to change, I will meet you where you are so that we can work together to achieve your goals. As a licensed psychotherapist with a background in eating disorders, addiction therapy, trauma, and mental health, my techniques are diverse and steeped in person centered approaches. "

"I love my work. I work primarily with women. I find that most women, regardless of their personal histories, complain of feeling stuck - repeating patterns and behaviors that don't make them feel successful or happy. I believe a large part of the problem is that there are parts of themselves they have had to submerge very early in life. Some of my clients have suffered early parental loss, medical trauma, physical or sexual abuse, or a traumatic accident. Many describe parents who loved them, but who were unable to meet their emotional needs in significant ways."

"Everything comes down to RELATIONSHIPS! I am interested in working with you if you have had a difficult and painful childhood that continues to interfere with you finding happiness, joy, and contentment in your current life. If though you are bright, motivated, and most eager to find these things they continue to allude you, and, you are confused as to why all your efforts seem to be in vain, my decades of success with clients like you could be of great assistance for you to find what you seek."

"How do you know if your sexual behavior is out of control? It's a subjective question that many men unfortunately wait until relationship, occupational or medical consequences accumulate before considering. I believe the most important person to evaluate concerns with regulating sexual behavior is the man experiencing the dilemma. I start with two basic questions: "What is your conflict with your sexual behavior?" and "What is your vision for your sexual health?" Since 2001, I have provided a safe, informed and confidential space for sexual health conversations with heterosexual, gay and bisexual men."

"People seek out therapy for many reasons, but in my experience most patients enter treatment in the middle of something. Perhaps you're wondering why you feel the way you do or have the same distressing thoughts over and over. Some are curious why they can't seem to stop repeating evidently self-defeating patterns of behavior. Maybe you're anxious about a chosen or unchosen life transition. Or you just feel stuck. Therapy can clarify your current situation, help you gain an understanding of how you arrived at this point, and begin to formulate a healthy path forward. I have three orienting goals to my therapeutic approach. First, we will work on generating and expanding moments of your personal freedom. Second, we will cultivate an enhanced understanding of yourself and those around you. And overall, together we will establish meaningful and durable psychological change. "

"I enjoy working with adults of all ages and backgrounds who want to make changes in their life that will help them achieve their goals. I offer a safe environment to talk comfortably about what is causing distress, and I work collaboratively to improve a client's well-being. If you are in emotional discomfort, or feel stuck but want to move forward, I would be happy to speak with you about individual psychotherapy or couple's counseling. I am an assistant professor of clinical psychology at George Washington University and formerly a staff psychologist at Georgetown University Law Center."

"I am a compassionate, introspective person who takes great joy in human connection. I am intuitive and perceptive and can often see aspects of a person that are otherwise hidden or still emerging. People of all ages and walks of life have felt comfortable opening up in my presence, and many have cited my insight as impetus for a personal change they were seeking to make. If you are seeking guidance in uncovering your path, help with moving obstacles out of the way or support in returning to your path after trauma or time away, let me be your guide."

"Feeling depressed, confused, anxious? Let's talk about how I might be able to help. Creating a safe and supportive space is an important foundation for a good partnership in therapy. Rest assured that you will be entering the therapeutic process without judgment and with unconditional positive regard. I approach therapy as a collaborative process of exploration with the goal of achieving greater self-awareness and the ability to manage life in better balance. Good chemistry and a healthy rapport are essential elements in creating a meaningful working relationship."

"After 7 years of training, practice, and providing clinical supervision at the Capital Institute for Cognitive Therapy, I've transitioned to private practice in Woodley Park. I have significant training in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Psychodynamic, Mindfulness-based, and Metacognitive approaches. These are the main schools in the field, and combined allow me to offer both practical techniques for troublesome thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; as well as help you see subtleties in yourself that likely influence how and why you may be stuck."

"I specialize in working with women who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, identity-related questions, midlife concerns, adjustment difficulties, "family history stuff," existential malaise, and issues related to gender and sexuality. My goal is to help you experience greater self-awareness, freedom, and comfort in your skin. My style is warm and compassionate, while also being direct and (oftentimes) challenging. I also bring humor to the therapeutic process and love what I do for a living."

"I have a lengthy experience treating patients with serious mental illnesses and also with patients who have been involved with the criminal justice system and immigration issues. I speak several dialects of the Arabic language and have extensive experience with Americans of a variety of backgrounds. I use multicultural approaches to compliment different therapeutic interventions.My additional lengthy experience working with different Arab Americans as well as Muslim Americans puts me in a unique position to offer specialized services to these two populations."

"I am a Collaborative Psychologist, working with individuals, families, and couples. I treat Depression, postpartum anxiety, marital conflicts, and I coach parents who struggle with hard to care for children. Therapy works when we develop complete honesty, mutual respect, optimism, and realistic goals . Yoga for treating mood, anxiety and Trauma, are new tools I added to my skill-set. These techniques allow me to reach places where words and conversation can't. Now, I am using LifeForce Yoga techniques to reach deeper, faster. Mindfulness, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) are research based tools I use to help individuals and couples."

"We get started on our work by setting objective goals together, based on your individual needs. Sometimes you may have clear goals in mind while others discover and clarify their goals through the process of therapy. I ask questions to help you make connections in your life and shed light on the underlying issues. Together we identify obstacles so you can start to overcome them. Seeking help is a signal that you are ready to feel better and take care of yourself, a sign of real strength."
