Domestic Abuse Therapists in Washington, DC
As children, we are learning from interactions with our parents who we are and how to fit into the world around us. After we leave home, we become our own parents as we continue to learn about ourselves and how to find our own place in life. And when we have families of our own, we are now parents both for our children and for ourselves, as we continue to understand more about who we are. I provide a warm, empathic and accepting environment where you can explore your current life challenges, as well as address past issues that impact your everyday life.

I see a wide range of clients who strive toward an authentic self, seek to explore growth and achieve their full potential. I have expertise in helping clients who have issues with anxiety, depression, and trauma and practice clinical interventions that are strength-based and solution-focused. I believe that psychological and behavioral problems are expressions of pain and efforts to cope with unacceptable environmental demands and consider therapy an important step in restoring resilience and making healing possible.

Now offering safety+guidance for the parts of you that keep getting in the way.

After more than 35 years of practice, I believe that intellectual and emotional insight must lead to behavioral change for psychotherapy to have true value for the client. The process of self-discovery allows the client to make clear and informed choices and to take responsibility for the results. I prefer clients who are courageous enough to seek the truth and change how they behave in order to create a better life.

By the time people get to me they’ve often tried many things. They’ve read self-help books, perused articles, confided in friends about problems that just don’t seem to go away. Those issues span the gamut, from difficulty with family members to on-the-job problems, to outright trauma, to a nagging sense of dissatisfaction with life. “What can I do about this?” people want to know. My answer is usually something along the lines of “Let’s try to understand more.” Things are often not what they seem at first glance. My office is a place to figure things out, to increase empathy for yourself and others, and to make needed changes.
