Those challenges can lead to feelings/thoughts of sadness, hopelessness, anxiety, panic, and sometimes the symptoms we feel can't necessarily be easily identified. If your goals include identifying the problem, engaging in a journey towards personal empowerment and developing the tools to handle life's challenges, I am here to help.

In 23 years of clinical experience, I have helped clients learn how to manage anxiety and depression due to work stress, a cancer diagnosis (and other chronic Illnesses), as well as other significant life changes. I specialize in working with medical professionals as well as other professionals who have found themselves burned out because of their experiences during the pandemic. I have successfully found ways to help people find ways to rekindle the passion for the work they do. In the DMV, we tend to define much of inner self by our career. Learning to find balance in this part of our lives helps us to improve our sense of self.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing near Dupont Circle in Washington, DC with training from the George Washington University and the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis. I have been successful in helping adolescents and adults coping with issues such as stress/anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges alleviate their discomfort. I put a high premium on creating a non-judgmental, safe environment where we can collaboratively explore life patterns that cause pain and sadness as I work to empower patients to establish more positive coping strategies that will lead to lasting relief.

For as unique as you are, together we can make sense of your concerns, work towards your goals, and the quality of life you want and deserve.

When individuals experience anxiety, depression, stress, relational discord, substance abuse issues and trauma, they tend to seek a therapist they can trust, feel safe speaking with and a therapist they can relate to. As a therapist I can assure you that I bring personal experience, education, knowledge and most of all passion to your sessions with one main goal in mind: to have you live the life you hope to live. I bring my 27+ years of Yoga and Meditation to any therapy sessions you so desire.

Hello. If you are considering psychotherapy, a good "fit" with your psychologist is essential. I have been a practicing clinical psychologist for over forty years. During that time, I have also been a psychology professor at Montgomery College. My theoretical orientation is a pragmatic blend of cognitive, humanistic, psychodynamic and behavioral, but I am also a firm believer in the value of positive psychology. I try not to diagnose people, but rather work with the entire individual, especially with their strengths. I am not the "silent, blank-screen" kind of therapist.

I have worked for 13+ years helping others understand themselves in order to find freedom, to live a meaningful life defined by themselves. I specialize working with men struggling to find their place in the current society that has left them behind. Most treatment has not adequately been developed deal with men’s issues, as evidence by the large but silent mental health crisis within men and boys. Men’s emotional expression such as anger and irritability are often pathologized and punished, opposed to being heard for the underlying cause and I look to change that.

Russell understands that the more we learn about ourselves the better we can respond to the challenges we face. Often, we tend to respond to our challenges in ways that may be problematic. However, once we learn to manage our emotions and the interaction between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can begin to develop and strengthen healthier thinking patterns resulting in positive outcomes. As a result, Russell enjoys working with individuals learning to manage anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

People settle, for things in their lives they don’t really like, that they feel powerless to change. I work with both the conscious and unconscious aspects, sometimes indirectly, in ways that engender changes on both of these levels. I enable and empower my clients to open up to new directions and possibilities, to new ways of feeling, doing, and being.
