Are you feeling anxious, depressed or struggling in your relationship? Let’s meet. For over 30 years, I have been providing psychotherapy services to individuals and couples. It is a pleasure to see clients grow, resolve problems, and begin to feel in ways they never imagined. I create a safe, supportive, and affirming environment for exploring and gaining insight into the challenges you face, and together we will find new ways to react to, cope with, and address them. My goal is to help you find meaningful and lasting solutions that improve your mood, sense of well being and relationships.
My practice is diverse. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, traumatic events, and chronic illness. My expertise is in working with adults, couples, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I use many strategies to help you resolve challenges and improve your quality of life.
I am known as a compassionate and caring professional who is engaged and interactive in session. I am licensed to practice in the District of Columbia and Virginia. I welcome your call, and look forward to our work together.
