We can all benefit from someone to help us navigate the expected and unexpected events life brings us as we transition from one life stage to the next or the challenges involved in moving to a new place. I will help you negotiate those transitions and moves, including the stress and emotional turmoil they may bring. If you are an individual or a couple finding transitioning into a new life stage, a new career or a new living arrangement stressful or confusing, I am here to walk with you down the path of negotiating these changes and processes.

I’m a Yale- and Northwestern-trained psychologist in full-time private practice outside Washington, DC. I work mostly virtually with adults in individual, couple, and group therapy. I’m a member of the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, where I'm also Chair of the Institutional Review Board, which ensures that research participants are protected and treated ethically. I'm a guest lecturer on couples therapy at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. And to complement the deeper psychodynamic work I do with couples, I completed specialized training at The Gottman Institute.

I help coach adults with anxiety from legal-related challenges (e.g., divorce, terminations, and moving) successfully navigate these transitions and create stability for their families.
As a dedicated professional with a deep passion for supporting individuals through transitions, I am driven by the belief that times of change present unique opportunities for growth and transformation. My journey in helping executives and parents navigate these transitions has been shaped by my unwavering commitment to use change as a catalyst for success.

Regardless, I am here to listen and help you discover solutions, whether immediate, long-term, or anywhere along the continuum.

Each person carries a story shaped by experiences, emotions, relationships, and values. These stories influence how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you respond to challenges. In therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space to reflect on your story, process difficult experiences, and explore new ways of moving forward. My goal is to help you deepen your self-understanding, clarify what matters most, and create space for meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

Most people have mixed feelings about starting individual therapy or couples counseling, and yet you may remember happier times when life and relationships felt easier. You might be finding that everyone's friendly advice, self-help books, podcasts, and all of your existing coping mechanisms haven't worked sufficiently for you of late. By now, you want to get to the root of your present-day struggles and to come up with new endings to the same old stories. I can help. I also help couples to strengthen their connection (or to part amicably, if need be) by articulating the dynamic and teaching effective conflict-resolution skills.

I work with a wide variety of clients in individual, couples, group and consultation formats.I provide a relationship that promotes respectful, direct expression of our unique human frailties and strengths be they happy, angry, fearful or sad. Psychotherapy is a potent elixir for change. The 'contents' of life provides for each of us at times a 'wild-ride', a 'lazy day', or somewhere in between. I help my clients with the 'process' of life to stay connected with their Self and others. If all goes well in the individual or couples therapy, most of my clients matriculate into a group psychotherapy process to further their growth.
