"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 enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals. My specialties include grief counseling, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and couples conflict. I have over 30 years of experience working with young adults in university settings and with individuals and couples in private practice. I have been the head clinician in an eating disorder and mood disorder clinic at a major university. I am particularly interested in working with clients who are struggling with low self worth and self loathing. I also have an expertise in working with gay couples."

"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."

"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."

"I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship that can lead to finding new and positive ways of relating to people and situations in your life. In therapy, we look at the distinctive ways in which you relate to me and others, whether or not you are aware of them, and then we analyze them so you can consciously begin to do something different. I want to make psychotherapy affordable, so I accept clients on a sliding scale basis, from $75 to $120. I would be happy to hear from you."

"Going through life's transitions and demands, or just needing to make some changes to feel better, can be challenging--you may feel stuck or depressed, anxious, or frustrated. Therapy's an effective way to get experienced help with moving in the right direction towards more fulfilling relationships and a healthier, more meaningful personal and professional life. A good partnership and authentic connection with your therapist are essential ingredients."

"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."

"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."

"It takes courage to seek help from a therapist; I understand and respect this. I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative process. The therapy relationship allows us to work together as you share with me your concerns and stress and I help you to understand and have greater awareness of problematic behaviors that may contribute. I see myself as a guide, pointing out patterns of relating to others and sharing insights that will give you an opportunity for self-reflection and to adjust how you might approach and cope in the future."

"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."

"I mainly work with adult clients in their 20's-40's who are looking to make real and lasting changes in their lives. I am a firm believer in results coming from the therapeutic process and I am a good fit for those who enjoy an interactive and dynamic relationship with their therapist. Client's come to me when they have relationship issues, pervasive anxiety/panic attacks, low self-esteem, problems with boundaries, work place issues, parenting issues and general dissatisfaction with life. I am not a therapist that just listens, I offer feedback without giving advice, tools for navigating life and psychoeducation."

"Your preschool child is struggling? Feel like you have tried everything with your kindergartner? Adapting to first grade is harder than expected? The challenges of early childhood are often underestimated, from the birth of a sibling to adapting to preschool or first grade.

I am dedicated to creating a safe space where we can work together to help meet your needs and help you in your life.

"Many people suffer under the weight of their sadness, fear, anger, and pain; others struggle to feel anything at all. Our self-esteem, relationships, or work can suffer as old cognitive, emotional, and behavioral paradigms are applied to new situations, often outside of our awareness. While it may seem daunting, exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences within the context of a safe therapeutic relationship can increase your access to, your awareness of, and your sense of control over your internal world. Through this process, you will find your strength, resilience, agency, and, ultimately, your freedom to more effectively shape your external world."
