I help my clients to discover, appreciate and expand their own strengths in order to feel better about life, love, work and recreation. As a therapist with over 40 years experience, my style is warm, direct and interactive. My clients and I form a team, working together to understand and resolve your problems. Our focus is on the whole person: your mind/body, your relationships, and your environment. I guide you with a combination of positive support and gentle challenges.
My approach is customized to each person or couple, after a thorough evaluation of your problems, background and goals. I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques to provide the best treatment and results. I help couples to enhance intimacy and communication. For couples or individuals, Sex Therapy resolves difficulties with sexual functioning and desire.
I have another specialty in Sports Psychology and Performance Enhancement for athletes, actors, and musicians. I am certified in EMDR, a treatment for the rapid resolution of traumatic feelings. I am trained in mindfulness, hypnosis and energy therapies. I am a Clinical Assistant Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at GWU Medical School.
