"I view therapy as a process that can facilitate healing and change, as well as understanding and fulfillment. Whether stuck in a conflicted relationship, feeling lost, struggling with depression or anxiety, adjusting to a transition or life change, feeling unable to break unhealthy patterns or resolve past issues and pain, it can be difficult to know where to start. Together, we can explore the issues you face and identify the direction you want your life to take and the steps needed to get you there. Once established, our relationship can provide the foundation and safety for this process."

"I strive to bring a sense of acceptance, compassion, insight,sometimes humor as well as challenge to the therapeutic relationship. I see the aim of therapy to explore and address those issues that block you from reaching your goals and experiencing a more satisfying and productive life. Whether you are facing challenges in your career, relationships, or in your emotional well-being, we can address specific situations that you are facing today, as well as long-standing patterns or history of painful experiences. I offer a free phone consultation to help you find the right therapist."

"Difficulties in reaching personal and relational life goals are frustrating and often leave us feeling defeated. These experiences may lead to depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, and unanswered questions about how to make the changes necessary to improve the quality of our lives."

"I am a clinical psychologist practicing for over 15 years. I have a lot of experience treating men and women facing a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, work stresses, and life transitions. I have training in various treatment modalities including psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT and tailor my treatment to your needs. In general, I try to understand the origins of the problem and teach practical techniques for making improvements. I have a warm, interactive and collaborative style and will work with you to make positive changes in your life."

"The people I've worked with over the years have come with various problems: difficulty growing up, grieving the loss of an important person, inability to find a direction in life, regret over past relationships and despair about finding someone to love, overpowering anxiety seemingly connected to nothing specific, questions around sexuality. Whatever the problem, my method is usually pretty much the same. I try to make a real contact and to understand what is going on, considering a person's whole life story. After that, we work together to overcome the stumbling blocks to personal development and happiness."

"I strive to provide a collaborative and supportive working space for clients with a range of presenting concerns. My clients tell me that they appreciate my warmth and practicality, as well as my willingness to provide an individualized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. I believe that most clients' struggles-be they with depression, anxiety, attentional difficulties, or relationship issues-are born of and maintained by a range of factors. These factors may include past experiences, family history, biology, or unhelpful patterns of thinking."

"Hi! I'm a psychologist who has lived in the Washington DC area for the past twenty years. I know that life in this region can be stressful, with traffic, high-pressure jobs, and interpersonal demands. I am able to help people find ways to cope with these pressures and life's many challenges, including self-esteem issues, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and life transitions. I work with children, teens, and adults. I provide guidance and consultation to parents on questions related to child development, behavior challenges, and family conflict."

"I work with a wide variety of clients in individual, couples, group and consultation formats.I provide a relationship that promotes respectful, direct expression of our unique human frailties and strengths be they happy, angry, fearful or sad. Psychotherapy is a potent elixir for change. The 'contents' of life provides for each of us at times a 'wild-ride', a 'lazy day', or somewhere in between. I help my clients with the 'process' of life to stay connected with their Self and others on their journeys."

"Inspired by the passion of the clinical field, I became Professional Counselor to help people improving their quality of living. It means that it does no matter what the initial phase of the persons existing living arrangements, the quality of life can be improved through professional counseling. My diverse and intense professional working experience added to the qualified academic, and certified credentials gained; makes me a valuable, suitable and responsible therapist with a strong understanding of human behavior in extreme situations that provides private and confidential therapy, safe environment of treatment, and ethical standards of practice for all clients."

"Our life journey is challenging with unanticipated twists, turns, bumps and detours. How we choose to navigate these challenges will profoundly impact our ability to live a healthier, happier, and emotionally stable life."

"Welcome to my practice, located in the heart of Dupont Circle. I offer therapy for individuals of all backgrounds experiencing a range of concerns, including: anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief and loss, adoption-related issues, and more. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I will work with you to help you increase your insight, enhance your relationships, build on your strengths, develop new coping skills, and live a more fulfilling life."

"In my practice I treat adolescents, college students, and adults dealing with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, as well as relationship and identity issues. Therapy can also be helpful as one navigates times of transition, change, or if one is 'stuck' or unable to achieve desired goals. Together, we will determine what is getting in the way of progress and then help you work through those things to become the best possible version of yourself."

"Choosing to enter therapy can be a difficult decision and finding and connecting with the right therapist plays a significant role in the healing process. I believe this healing is achieved through an authentic and collaborative therapist-client relationship and by providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment in which clients feel safe to explore difficult issues. There are myriad reasons people enter therapy: for problems that have a direct correlation to a cause or for problems that are imprecise, but impact their quality of life."

"As your therapist, my goal is to help you recognize and become your best self. Together, we will come to a greater understanding of the fear, anxieties, and challenges you face and work towards discovering solutions. I specialize in working with couples in distress using Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, created by Sue Johnson. We all get stuck in negative patterns of communication from time to time. When the destructive cycle takes permanent residence, it can feel horribly scary, isolating, and hopeless. But I've witnessed firsthand how EFT can be effective even with couples on the brink of despair."

"I consider it a privilege to be part of people's decision to improve their lives. Named one of Washington's Top Doctors by Washingtonian Magazine, I specialize in relationships and anxiety, and helping people cope with stressors ranging from the mundane to the extremes of modern life. Through individual and couples psychotherapy, I help people uncover patterns that may be holding them back, and together work towards implementing new strategies to find more balance, confidence, and joy."

"Often when people come to see me, they have been experiencing the pain and challenges of life much more than the pleasure, and they desire to feel better and enjoy life more fully. I have worked with men and women who experience this pain in many forms, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, grief, or the aftermath of trauma. In addition, I have worked extensively with immigrants, first generation citizens, international students and professionals, and people who consider themselves multicultural."

"Are you struggling in your relationship or marriage? Looking to feel connected again? Are you a teen struggling with anxiety? There is hope. I believe we all have a fascinating and compelling story to tell about our lives. The joy of my work is coming to know my clients through these complex stories and collaborating with individuals and couples to find the connection they have been missing. I help adults and teens work through the anxiety and depression that holds them back from their goals. I'm a licensed psychologist in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC."

"The primary goal of psychotherapy is to help you to understand what you want and need to make your life more productive, meaningful and fulfilling. Through the process of treatment, you will be able to know yourself better; address and identify current and long-standing difficulties; experience less pain and suffering; alleviate self-defeating behaviors; build and maintain healthier relationships; become more resilient and adaptable to change; and begin to develop a more accurate understanding of your past and what you want for your future. Ultimately, psychotherapy will allow you to become more equipped to lead a healthier life."

"For twenty five years I have practiced clinical psychology in Europe and the United States with individuals and couples. My practice is holistic in nature integrating traditional psychotherapy with mind-body principles. I work with clients in a supportive and respective atmosphere to discover their inner-strengths and to overcome obstacles and challenges. Treatment is individualized and may be long or short term depending on the person's needs and goals. My cross-cultural training and experience have proved invaluable in my practice. My office is conveniently located to the World Bank and the IMF."
