I strive to help adults and seniors achieve balance through therapy. I am licensed in Maryland, Delaware, DC and Virginia. Through my experience in working with adults and seniors, I am aware of the unique challenges that they encounter during these stages of life. In my practice, I focus on one's strengths and I help clients to recognize their own distinct set of coping skills to live the good quality of life that they deserve to live. I provide Telehealth via Zoom to allow the client to receive support in the comfort and safety of their own home.

I specialize in the LGBTQIA+ community and work with a diversity of issues, from anxiety and depression, to relationship and family issues.

This insight will help you handle the most important aspects of your life - relationships, conflict, life transitions, family and career decisions - with mindfulness and intention. Self understanding will help you feel more in control of your emotions, and by extension, your life.

Throughout my career, I have worked to help people have better, more meaningful lives where they feel competent to address their problems and feel connected to others who care. And this is only made possible by my providing a therapeutic relationship which is warm and respectful. I am interested in understanding how people’s histories and styles affect how they get stuck and how they can change. I have had diversified training and experience. Hopefully, this allows for our finding the best approach for getting unstuck. Some issues I address are life transitions, loss, stress, depression, trauma, anxiety, and relationship conflict.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst. I will gently engage you in a dialogue and observe the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship and how blocks manifest themselves in that context. My role is to engage you and facilitate change that goes beyond symptom relief.

When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way.

Sometimes, just getting through the day can be very hard. There are so many roles that we play: Perhaps we are working, studying, parenting, teaching, coaching, not to mention shopping, cooking, maintaining a household, sharing life with someone and trying our best to do it all. Am I talking about you?

I search for each person's strengths to enable them to have more control over their life. Most people have difficulty in relationships..........with friends, family members, or individuals in their work setting.

Many of us at one time or another need the help of an experienced therapist. Are you spending most days not feeling good, suffering from mood swings, anxiety or depression? Are you or your family/peers concerned about your drinking? Perhaps you are stuck, like "super glue" to old damaging behavior patterns, which can spell doom for a satisfying relationship. Have you reached a point in your life where you need help moving forward? If you have tried everything and nothing has worked, perhaps it's time to see a licensed therapist.

I believe that psychotherapy is very useful in connecting deeply with oneself and subsequently with others. Anxiety and depression are often related to faulty coping mechanisms developed in childhood that lead to painful relationships. Being happy in work and love are the pillars of a rewarding and fulfilled life and therapy makes this possible.

Therapy is a journey. Eva believes in adapting to each client's unique needs to foster a collaborative approach. She understands the courage it takes to share one's thoughts. Vulnerability in therapy can make one feel ambivalent, overwhelmed, and concerned. Eva respects clients and strives to establish a foundation of trust. Trust plays a critical role in therapy. The journey starts because client's make it possible. Eva walks with clients and guide them to identifying what is best for them. She is there to be a listener and a companion for the experience of growth and healing.

I hope to guide my clients toward greater self-awareness in the therapy room and beyond to their day-to-day lives. I use talk therapy, CBT and coaching in my work with individuals and groups.

Psychotherapy is a personal journey that helps individuals connect with deeper self. The decision to engage in this journey can be motivated by life events that trigger feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, and desperation. My goal as a therapist is to provide a healing environment where clients feel safe while engaging in this emotional passage.
