Because therapy occurs within a relationship, I will often encourage clients to explore our relationship in therapy as a window into how they relate to others in their lives.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with a private practice in Dupont Circle, where I work with individuals and couples. As a psychoanalyst, I believe our early experiences often shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. I help individuals and couples examine patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that often have their origins in early life experiences and may continue to generate feelings of unhappiness.

I have a particular expertise working with depression, anxiety, perfectionism, work- or school-related stress, relationship issues, and major life transitions.
As a licensed psychologist, I provide individual therapy to adolescent and adult clients looking to better understand themselves and their relationships. People often seek therapy to address symptoms or problems that they want to change, but ironically, this felt need for things to be different can often create more stress. I believe people are more than their problems, and so my aim is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the connections between your past experience, relational patterns, and current behaviors to help you a achieve a meaningful sense of self-awareness, thereby giving you more freedom and choice.

Recent studies of divorce attorneys have indicated that pornography use is cited as one of the major contributors to divorce for 50% of divorcing couples.
I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I help clients gain insight into what is getting in their way and to develop healthier coping strategies. I also work extensively with those struggling with addictions, including alcoholism and sexual addictions and compulsive internet pornography use. I have successfully helped break the interference of addictions and compulsions to lead healthier, more productive lives. In addition, I often work with spouses/ partners who are struggling with the impact (and trauma) of these addictions on themselves and their relationships.

I provide a therapeutic environment that sees the relationship between therapist and client as vital.
Dealing with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or pain can be difficult. Current and past traumas can impact your ability to feel peace of mind and live freely, Out of control sexual behavior may feel hopeless. If you are the partner of someone struggling with sexual addiction, the pain, confusion and anger can create internal chaos and feel unbearable. As a licensed professional counselor, I have the training and experience to help you find resolution to these needs. I treat those who struggle from childhood trauma, betrayal trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression, as well as sexual addiction and their partners.

If you decide to come in, it is my hope that you will feel supported, encouraged, and challenged in our working relationship to reach your therapy goals and find strength, new insights, and resilience.
I specialize in adult psychotherapy, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance use, trauma, relationships, and LGBTQ issues. It can be hard to experience hope when we feel stuck in old patterns of thinking and feeling about life, ourselves, and our relationships. This can lead to feelings of stress, confusion, unhappiness, or disappointment. I work to help individuals and couples to examine these patterns and to explore and experiment with new ways of thinking and acting, which in turn can have dramatic impact on how they are feeling.
