Jewish Therapists in Washington, DC
I have a special interest in support and counseling for Jewish clients and those in the LGBTQ2S+ community.
Navigating family, romantic or work relationships can feel like a lot to manage on your own. Together, we can explore what's happening in a safe, non-judgmental space. I have 30 years of experience supporting individuals, couples and families across the life cycle. As your therapist, I consider and honour differences in how people think and feel and I believe we are all doing the best we can.

“Warm and compassionate with a no-nonsense approach” is how my clients describe me. I have been working with children and adolescents for over 25 years and as a licensed clinical social worker for 15 years. I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families. My broad range of experience includes helping clients struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, gender identity & issues related to sexual orientation. I have the unique experience of guiding families through grief and issues related to chronic illness such as HIV and cancer. Often, I engage the whole family to address communication barriers.

The populations with whom I work are adults, children, and couples. My primary modalities are CBT and psychodynamic approaches using Two-Person Psychology & Relational Theory. I focus on the importance of the therapist being part of the therapeutic process, and working with people from the beginning of treatment until the end; never wanting the client to feel they are alone on this journey. I hope my process of engaging positively and realistically helps my clients feel confident in themselves so that they can find the courage and fortitude to make the healthy, functional adjustments and changes to themselves which they desire.

Has your life started to feel more challenging? Do you feel like something is wrong or less fulfilled? People seek therapy at various stages of their life to address their challenges. Sometimes you might know why, while other times it can be confusing or difficult to pinpoint. Therapy not only can help you understand your sources of stress but also to improve symptoms that prevent you from feeling your best. Together, we will work to support you, face challenges within yourself, work towards your goals, and, most importantly, improve your own sense of a life that is meaningful and fulfilled..

When a particular area of life is less rewarding or is problematic, you may seek assistance rediscovering your path to mental health. Understanding that therapy is more likely to be helpful when you feel comfortable with your therapist, and hopeful about the therapy, my approach emphasizes accessing each person’s unique strengths and resources in order to facilitate growth, new learning, and fulfillment. I use a person-centered integrative approach drawing from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and somatic theories to work collaboratively with you toward mutually agreed-upon goals.

I work with young adults navigating the complexities of independence and attachment, trust and confidence, peer and sibling dynamics, dating and commitment, trauma, school and career transitions, sexual identity and intimacy, and overall well-being. Young adulthood is often a time of rapid growth and uncertainty, and therapy can provide space to make sense of these experiences with greater clarity and intention. I affirm and support clients who identify as BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent. Together, we identify and implement strategies to manage cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns.

The experiences we have in childhood, especially in our relationships, shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. When those early environments feature trauma or instability, we may carry patterns of protection that once kept us safe, but now leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. In therapy, I offer a steady space to gently explore these formative experiences and how they affect your present relationships, emotions, and sense of self. Together, we can work to untangle the past, tend to the parts of you that still hold pain, and cultivate new ways of relating that feel grounded, empowered, and compassionate.

Our world continues to change, with its weight sometimes growing overwhelming and crushing. You are not alone.

I am a mental health and school counselor passionate about supporting the growth of children and young adults. I am experienced with both school-age children, young adults, and adults. I have also spent a lifetime in the world of professional dance and the creative arts. My experience in dance and the body highly influences my therapeutic lens. I view integration of body and mind through multi-sensory modalities as integral to client growth. I take an integrative approach to my work; in one session we may talk, play, draw, explore the sand tray, or move. Some moments may be more directive and some may be client-led.

Perhaps a loss, heartbreak, or impending change has you shaken. Maybe you have checked all the boxes and reached all the milestones but still feel the dull ache of something missing. Maybe you feel stuck at work, or alone, even in your relationships. Choosing a therapist isn't easy but research consistently shows that the therapist-client relationship is central in determining the effectiveness of therapy. As a graduate psychoanalyst, I have had extensive training and experience in understanding how to harness the power of the therapy relationship to effect the greatest relief from suffering and promote the greatest growth.

I work with thoughtful professionals and emerging leaders seeking greater clarity, direction, and alignment in their work. Clients often come to coaching while navigating career transitions, leadership growth, or burnout despite professional success. Coaching provides a structured space to reflect, gain perspective, and navigate complex professional decisions with greater intention. Together we explore priorities, strengths, and possibilities so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a more intentional approach to your career and leadership.
Coaching is not therapy and does not treat mental health conditions.

Many people don’t realize their symptoms like anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck are rooted in unresolved trauma. I help clients get to the root of their pain using EMDR (certified), EMDR 2.0, the Four Blinks Flash technique, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). These modalities work well together to gently and effectively process trauma, not just manage symptoms.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy or analysis, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning. My analytic training enables me to work intensively, and I enjoy incorporating experiential techniques like journaling, psychodrama, and art.
