In 35 years of practice, my peers have consistently recognized me in WASHINGTONIAN's "Best" therapists. I love my job; I get to connect with patients deepest psyches, sharing intense joy and pain on the path to fuller lives. Therapy involves more openness, vulnerability, and self awareness than you imagined possible as you work through shame, trauma, passivity, dependencies, insecurity, etc. You take responsibility for bad habits, limitations and poor decisions. You take better care of yourself and loved ones, achieve goals, manage stressors, and grieve losses while improving relationships, job performance and decision making.
Currently I only have openings for group therapy. I am an Experiential Psychologist, which means you will change not just from advice and intellectual learning, but more from the actual experience -mistakes and successes- of building trust, establishing boundaries, expressing feelings, empathizing, etc in the therapy sessions.
Group therapy is particularly powerful for strengthening and learning about your relationships. You will enhance closeness, conflict resolution and repair, boundary setting, love and respect. I offer 7 different therapy groups. Four of the groups are for psychotherapists only and are highly relational process-oriented groups.
