I can help you address the issues of early childhood (feeding, sleeping, tantrums, bonding difficulties, power struggles, socializing, concentration) so you and your child can have the relationship you want.
Does your child seems to have more tantrums and more fears than other young children their age? Or the teacher has shared that your preschooler or kindergartener seems to be struggling and not making friends? Maybe your child has gone through something scary, and now you can't leave the room without them clinging to you. Perhaps you have welcomed a baby to the family, and bonding has been challenging. Or the relationship between you and your child is not what you had imagined it would be, and you seem to always end up in a power struggle. Or you'd like to work on the relationship with your autistic child.

I teach coping strategies for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and loss, substance use, life transitions, relationship and family issues and work-related stress.
Many of us strive to establish and maintain an overall state of peace and good health in our lives. It is difficult to feel grounded with all of the pain, uncertainty and chaos life creates for us. Difficult life events often disrupt our sense of security, control, balance and connectedness and it can feel impossible to find our path again.

Face it. You're not happy. You're too often nervous, on edge, and sometimes you really feel down. You're in a rut professionally and your love life is not what it once was. You're not the way you want to be with the people you care most about. You want to connect with them the way you used to connect with them. Instead, you find yourself frustrated when you try...tense, defensive, sensitive to criticism. It's time to be honest with yourself. You need someone good to talk to who is not a family member, a friend, or a co-worker.

I pay attention to the ways in which issues of identity (race, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, ability, size, etc.) may impact your experience. I am licensed in DC, CT, SC, DE.

You want to move past racing thoughts and avoiding your life. Past sadness and low motivation. Past the same draining arguments with your partner.

Even if asking for help is hard for you, you’re at a point where you are ready to do it because you want something to change.

I have been treating individuals for over twenty years. I find that people seek treatment during times of transition and distress. They are smart, educated individuals who are experiencing a difficulty and desire to improve their life. These difficulties often include relationships, careers, life transitions, illness, loss and bereavement.
