Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we get "stuck" and need help navigating our way through tough obstacles. Therapy helps people identify, evaluate and solve problems effectively. We will work together to set goals, examine difficulties and find realistic solutions that provide relief and clarity. I utilize a warm interactive approach to treatment and incorporate empathy, honesty, and a sense of humor to create a comfortable environment. Because the way we think impacts the way we feel, individuals are taught skills to identify, challenge and modify negative thinking. In my work with couples, I provide strategies to improve communication, manage conflict and solidify trust.
Treatment specialties include: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, LGBTQ, sexuality/identity questions, anger management, grief/loss, post-traumatic stress, and adjustment/readjustment difficulties. With couples, I utilize the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy and provide a structured, goal-oriented, skills based approach to treatment. Gottman Couples Therapy Level I & II trainings have been completed.
I earned a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and Master's degrees in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. To keep informed of the latest clinical techniques, I regularly attend educational seminars. I am honored to announce my selection as the Top Psychologist in Arlington, Virginia by the International Association of Healthcare Professionals for 2015-16.
