"I've been working with stressed out, overworked, anxious and depressed Washingtonians for over 25 years and call me crazy but I still love the work. Its such a privilege to work with an amazing diversity of smart interesting people! While I have been trained in a variety of different therapeutic modalities I've learned the most from my clients. About half of my caseload is working with couples primarily using the Imago relationship therapy approach. The rest of my client load is working with individual adults and relationship groups for men. Men really flourish in these relationship groups."

"I have been providing psychotherapy for over 30 years to individuals, couples, and groups.Throughout one's life, feelings such as depression and anxiety can create a sense of loss of control. Life events such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or interpersonal conflict can feel overwhelming. My clients would say that I treat every one according to their particular issues, with respect, and with great support and understanding. I also teach at George Washington University Medical School and I am on the National Council of the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University. I provide supervision, as well, to other psychotherapists."

"I believe that one of the ways in which self-awareness is achieved is through the sharing of one's story. Therefore, I strive diligently to create a safe space for one to share both the beauty and the brokenness of one's story with authenticity, genuineness, and integrity. When appropriate, I infuse spirituality and religion into my therapeutic practice; thus enabling my clients to articulate their feelings of dis-ease within the context of their faith. I have found this approach to be particularly effective in working with populations marginalized because of race, gender, or sexual orientation."

"I am a psychodynamically trained clinical counselor focusing on helping clients to live life on life’s terms. I am certified in Imago Relationship Therapy and specialize in couples and relational therapy. I work from an empathic stance, help clients to notice, identify and understand patterns of behavior. Together with my clients, we explore attachment meaning, past, and current actions, set goals and practice new behaviors. My approach to working with individuals and couples is rooted in the lessons I have learned in Imago Relationship Therapy, 12 step work, and psychodynamic clinical theory. My ideal client is an individual or couple seeking to grow and live life as they most deeply desire. "
