You may feel like you’re the only one experiencing sexual challenges in your relationship, but difficulties like low desire, painful sex, or premature ejaculation are more common than you think. If you’ve been afraid to talk about your sexual challenges, you probably feel alone, overwhelmed, and unsure about what to do. If you’re in a relationship, you and your partner may have stopped talking about sex, deepening the disconnection and feelings of loneliness and shame. Fortunately, there is a way out of this negative cycle, and you can create the sex life and relationship you desire.

A patient wrote this to me: "You are someone who knows the song in my heart, and could sing it back to me when I had forgotten the words." In my over 27 years of psychotherapy practice, I have learned several things: one is, in meeting with patients, to clear my mind (at least to try hard!) of all the theories and clinical orientations I have absorbed and to allow my emotions, mind, body, and considerable life experience to be present in our interactions. [Please note that I do NOT accept CareFirst BlueCHOICE, just PPO and Federal.]

E-mail is the best way to contact me! Seeking support is a courageous act of self-love. I would love to explore the possibility of working together. Clients often come in with symptoms of depression and anxiety and feel disconnected from themselves and others. My hope is to build a trusting relationship where you can explore the emotional obstacles that are preventing you from reaching your goals, and to help you identify the underlying emotions motivating behaviors such as hurt, sadness, fear, loss, and loneliness. My clients report feeling listened to, understood, and empowered.

We all have anxieties. We have defenses against hurt that we build up over time, that become solidified into unproductive patterns of behavior and prevent us from living our best lives. We all, from time to time, lose connection with ourselves and those around us, as we try and do the million things that daily life demands of us. It’s okay. You’re not alone.

Are you a high achiever, nurturer, teacher, creative or a therapist? Do you hold it together on the outside but feel burnt out or disconnected inside. You might pressure yourself, feeling like you "should" feel better. I specialize in working with "eldest daughters" and highly sensitive people (HSP) navigating ADHD, OCD, neurodivergence, anxiety, and/or relationship or attachment issues. I work with a lot of people with complex trauma. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to reparent or reconnect with your younger self and offer tools to shift unhelpful thoughts or patterns.

Saludos! Do you find yourself experiencing social anxiety, challenges with motivation, or perfectionism? I would love to connect with you. I'm a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and I work with high achieving professionals, graduate students, scientists, and civil servants looking to handle their harsh inner critic and break free from "imposter syndrome". I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their values, build motivation, and liberate themselves from avoidant behaviors (e.g., procrastination) that hinder their ability to reach their goals.

You may be used to being the one who holds everything together. But lately it feels like the more you try, the harder things get. You may have emotional wounds that make it hard to trust yourself or others and even when things seem fine on the outside, you’re waiting for something to go wrong. Your mind races, your body can’t relax, daily life feels overwhelming and even the simplest things feel like too much. You’re often surrounded by people but still feel alone. You’ve tried to change, but nothing sticks. Imagine living a grounded life where you’re no longer stuck in survival mode.

I have specialized training in C-PTSD and intergenerational trauma. Above all, I value our therapeutic relationship and your culture. I take time and care in getting to know what's important to you.
