Adults Therapists in 20815
I am a clinical psychologist with 40 years of experience in private practice. I work with adults in individual psychotherapy and couple therapy. I believe that good relationships are essential for a good life, and I enjoy helping others develop better relationships.

I weave these into a psychodynamically oriented approach which takes into account current and past relationships as well as gaining perspective and understanding of oneself and others. I have been able to help people suffering from problems with mood, anxiety, emotions, relationships, and issues with work and family.

I work with children, adolescents and adults dealing with a wide range of problems.
One thing is certain in life: things always change. All of us encounter difficult changes, narrow passages that we must navigate: unemployment, relocation, breakups, divorce, illness, bereavement. We also experience good, positive changes. Ironically, these too can be quite stressful. Falling in love, getting married, childbirth, getting a promotion at work, any major accomplishment can precipitate uneasiness and worry. It can be tremendously helpful to have the attention, support and perspective of a thoughtful therapist. Together, we collaborate to get you through these challenges while, at the same time, being curious about the deeper meanings underneath the surface.

Life comes with many complex challenges. Sometimes we feel alone or inadequate and experience difficulty being fully authentic with others. Other times, we lack the necessary support, or open ourselves up to being hurt by others. Mental health is strongly influenced by our ability to get our needs met. Psychotherapy is a process where we take a close look at your needs, including the thoughts and feelings you have when you feel stuck. By identifying, fleshing out and contextualizing your reactions, we gain a deeper and nuanced understanding of you. This process will help you find freedom of choice and greater fulfillment.
