I utilize insight-oriented, cognitive, and behavioral approaches with an emphasis on tailoring treatment to each individual."

"As humans, we all feel stuck, hopeless, and lost at times. It is brave to want more and to seek help. Therapy can help you find answers and peace. It is a powerful tool for gaining insight into ourselves and others, making important changes, finding solutions to problems, and living intentionally and fully. I take a relational approach to therapy that relies on creating a non-judgemental, supportive, identity-affirming therapeutic relationship through which we can explore and reach your goals. I have 10 years of experience helping individuals gain awareness and make meaningful changes in their lives."

"I've served patients in the Washington, D.C. area for nearly four decades, helping men, women and couples resolve conflicts arising from the many changes and transitions they experience -- especially during the "middle years" of adulthood, from one's 30s onward. My holistic perspective integrates psychoanalytic understanding of developmental origins of conflicts with recognizing how social, cultural, gender and career experiences shape our view of ourselves - including our emotional troubles; feelings of limitations about change; our values. All can impede our capacities for positive, loving relationships, growing hidden dimensions of our personalities; and achieving success and meaning in work."

"I am both an art therapist and licensed professional counselor in private practice in Washington, DC. I teach courses to graduate students in art therapy and counseling.

Before entering private practice, I directed an activities therapy department in an army medical center where military members and their families were hospitalized for personality and mental disorders. At this facility, I also worked with children and adolescents on a medical ward."

"Are you feeling anxious? Stuck? Having trouble with your spouse, children, parents, friends, colleagues? Things are just not right? Why do it on your own? You need somebody objective and non-judgmental to bounce things off of. Making the decision to call a therapist is tough but it can really make a difference in how you feel and operate in this world.
