To that end, here is some information regarding my work: I have had the privilege of working with teens, adults, and couples and have had success treating a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, grief and adjustment to life's changes. It is with warmth and compassion that I offer clients a safe place to talk, feel and explore.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland.

Our holistic approach aims to improve all aspects of your life by addressing the root causes of your concerns and using natural methods whenever possible.

After years of working in New York, I am now happily serving the Maryland, DC, and Virginia community. I am a clinical psychologist providing evidenced based treatment to adults, children and adolescents. I have extensive experience working with a broad range of issues including anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and low self-esteem. My specialty training in the treatment of eating and weight disorders offers a unique perspective as an expert in the implementation and practice of family-based treatment for anorexia nervosa and bulimia.

In my work I pull from a wide array of modalities including Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strategic Family Therapy, Solution Focused, and Intergenerational Family therapy. I have worked with children as young as four years old, teens, young adults, couples, and all kinds of families.  My experience includes providing therapy in a multitude of settings including Intensive In-Home, outpatient clinics, and private practice. In my over five years of clinical practice, I have worked with families where addiction is present.

I have been in private practice for 43 years. I am a Board Certified Diplomate Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have two years of post graduate training in Family and Couples Therapy and six years of study in Sex Therapy. I completed a five month Intensive Trauma Certification Program. I try to create a safe non judgmental environment so that you can talk about your concerns. Psychotherapy allows you time to think about your life, where you are, and where you would like to be. I am a interactive and relational psychotherapist. I see young adults and adults for individual and couples psychotherapy.

As a skilled and empathetic psychotherapist, my goal is to help you lead the life that you desire. I pair my psychodynamic training with evidence-based approaches and techniques to determine where changes can be made to help you find relief and fulfillment in your life.

I have experience working with adults suffering from severe psychiatric illnesses and substance abuse, as well as kids, adolescents, adults and families with a variety of mental health needs. I am interested and skilled in addressing issues pertaining to relationship struggles, stress, difficulty paying attention and functioning in school, and mood difficulties related to anxiety and depression. I welcome the opportunity to work with clients of various ages and backgrounds, helping them find and utilize their own unique strengths and abilities to meet their treatment goals.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of concerns including feeling angry, anxious, depressed, or inhibited. My work also includes helping those who may have less specific symptoms, but notice that they may get in their own way of achieving what they want, interpersonally, professionally, or scholastically. I also have considerable experience working with individuals with a traumatic history, including sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Within my practice, I also offer child, adolescent, and adult psychological testing, including emotional, cognitive, and academic assessment.

I work collaboratively with the client to help alleviate and manage stress and anxiety. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults. Anxiety, sadness and stress are very common emotions that we all experience. I create a comforting and constructive environment to help alleviate these feelings. I enjoy working with individuals who are confronting stressful and anxious times.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland providing virtual psychotherapy to adults over 18. With 10 years experience, I specialize in working with anxiety & stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, loss & bereavement, depression and anger management. My passion is helping women build insight to proactively improve their lives. Many of my clients are BIPOC women who are highly successful perfectionists and people pleasers who struggle to find work/life balance, deeper purpose, and joy. Together, we will work toward creating a life that aligns with your core values and purpose.

The decision to engage in psychotherapy is often not an easy one. In my work with teenagers and adults, I attempt to make the process as comfortable as possible so that my patients can feel at ease discussing their problems. I am an advocate of my patients' well-being and as a team we work together in exploring and discovering ways to optimize happiness and success in their life.

I am a clinical psychologist with a geriatrics specialty, meaning I have advanced, specialized training in addressing the mental health needs of adults aged 60 and older. I primarily assist clients in coping with cognitive changes (e.g., a dementia diagnosis), life transitions, depression, anxiety, caregiver strain, trauma (e.g., Post-Traumatic Stress, Military Sexual Trauma), and grief/ bereavement. I also conduct cognitive/neuropsychological assessments. Clients feel comfortable with me because of my competency level in treating the unique needs of older adults.

I can help with recovery from painful childhood experiences & traumas. I can help you to better understand the unconscious patterns of thinking and feeling that create emotional pain and obstruct your efforts to achieve your life goals. My work addresses issues faced by adolescents, young adults, and adults including educational/career achievement, relationship satisfaction, and identity/self-esteem issues. Cultural/racial identity and oppressive/abusive social forces including racism and misogyny are important factors in my work.

Licensed in Washington, DC and Maryland, I work with teenagers and adults on a range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, emotional regulation, identities, relationships, and life stressors. I am warm, collaborative, and compassionate and enjoy helping clients process their experience, develop healthy coping mechanisms, make progress toward their goals, and improve their quality of life.

Currently accepting new clients for in person visits on Mondays in downtown Bethesda and virtual therapy M-F. I work with adults and teens over 17.

The work is collaborative and strengths based to enable you to embrace yourself more fully. The goal for working together will be to help you resolve your struggles as well as clarify and manage your needs to navigate major transitions throughout your life.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you avoiding making changes in your life because of fear of the unknown? In my practice I will help you gain insight into behavioral and cognitive patterns to help you challenge self-destructive patterns and work towards your ideal self.
