I work with individuals and couples, as well as children, in both DC and Chapel Hill. I do best with adults who are educated or reflective: many are scientists, artists, health and business professionals, or psychotherapists, and some are not pursuing conventional achievement.Some see me for family or work problems, some for help dealing with a chronic health issue or a loss, some to change longstanding emotional and interpersonal patterns involving anxiety, anger, or intimacy. We may try quick and simple approaches first, because sometimes they work, but if not we can go more deeply into the individual's unique personal narrative.

Even the most insightful, solution-oriented people get stuck. What's worse is when the tools & strategies you've relied on for years no longer work for you. Here's the short answer: sometimes, you can't intellectualize or think your way out. You need an integrated approach and this is what I offer: 1. Re-learning how your brain works now 2. Discovering how your body holds memory, its cues & how to release what no longer serves you 3. Uncovering the inherent wisdom at the core of you.

Life can be stressful and at times we need assistance finding balance and meaning in this often unkind world. My clients often express dissatisfaction with their image in the mirror—they feel stuck in unsatisfying careers and are struggling to determine the next step. They are either in relationships that are not mutually beneficial and are struggling to communicate effectively, or they are feeling overwhelmed with dating in this app-centric world. I love what I do and I think it shows. My main goal is to help clients address personal challenges, understand how early life events effect them, and how to take steps towards change.

Struggles with self-esteem, body image, or self-worth often originate from unresolved early issues. By addressing these root causes, we can alleviate the burdens individuals carry and guide them towards effective solutions. Exploring these origins is crucial for developing a treatment plan that helps individuals release negativity and embrace positivity. Open communication between client and therapist is essential for tailoring the best alternative plans to meet the client's needs.
