Life Coaching Therapists in Bethesda, MD

I counsel individuals, couples and families born before 1981. Since our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, attitudes and behavior are generated by our brain, that's my focus - your brain. Whatever problems you have, whatever stressors you suffer, they can only be managed by how you think about them and what you do. That's the essence of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy. So, I strive to help you "change your mind" so you are self confident, self reliant, and resilient in facing your challenges. Let's get on with it! Life is short!
