Relationship Issues Therapists in Bethesda, MD
Although I specialize in sex addiction I also work with a range of other issues including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression and low self esteem.
Are you struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior? Do you spend hours watching pornography on your computer? Have you had several unsuccessful attempts to stop your behavior? Are you feeling like your life is spiraling out of control? If so, you may be struggling with sexual or porn addiction. Or perhaps you suspect your partner may be struggling with these issues or he has just exposed to you the truth about his behaviors?

I have skill and experience with emotionally frayed or wounded people--who often present with anxiety, depression, anger, and/or relationship difficulties--guiding them towards healing and growth.
Are you weary of feeling lonely, tired, sad? Perhaps you're scared or confused and don't know what to do about your marriage--the two of you are almost like strangers, or you fight all the time, or you're facing infidelity? Maybe you know your child is troubled, and you're not quite sure how to be of help. A special strength of mine is healing connections--connections between people as well as personal connections to the inner self--whether I see you in a couple, a family, or as an individual.

The result is an expertise for assisting individuals and couples to successfully unlock the mysteries relative to relationship problems.

This helps to bring the issues into consciousness, and once there, allows you to work with them. This work involves change. There may be many underlying issues including: mental states of anxiety and depression, an addiction, anger, lack of trust, various stressors, poor communication, extended family interferences, and more.

Life is challenging and at times we need geniune help to grow to our fullest potential.

I believe in working on whatever level is needed, from deep-seated unconscious issues to practical relationship and life skills.
Are you a smart, feelingful, sometimes intense man or woman who knows you can make more of your life than you have? Are you going through a turbulent time, frustrated with yourself and life, struggling in a relationship, knowing you're not fully using your talents and intelligence? It could be adult ADHD is tripping you up in ways you don't realize. Or it could be other emotional, relational or family issues. You want someone who listens closely to what you feel and what's going on in your life and your relationships, not just to "validate" you but to understand, see the whole picture and help you move forward on all levels.

In the therapy relationship I work to help you see yourself in a new light.
Emotional suffering, whether from depression, anxiety, grief or harm and
betrayal by others, is often invisible. While you may urgently desire help, shame and
fear of exposure may make it difficult to get the help you want. In over thirty years of
psychotherapy practice, I have learned to help patients find ways to face their worst fears and feel safer. Even desired change can bring fear of losing yourself. I think honestly confronting loss and limitaion can lead to freer decisons about living your life.

In therapy, the focus inevitably turns to the balance between self and others. Being responsible for one's own needs while being responsive to others, whether in a relationship, school, or at work is a dynamic, and sometimes confounding, process. How do you find that balance, being true to oneself and a truely caring person? That's the work of therapy.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and students. I have a recognized expertise with severe psychological trauma, depression, anxiety, and marital problems including infidelities.
I am proud to have been twice highly recommended by Washingtonian Magazine.

Psychotherapy is hard work and finding a relationship you can trust is crucial.
Many of us at one time or another need the help of an experienced therapist. Are you spending most days not feeling good, suffering from mood swings, anxiety or depression? Are you or your family/peers concerned about your drinking? Perhaps you are stuck, like "super glue" to old damaging behavior patterns, which can spell doom for a satisfying relationship. Have you reached a point in your life where you need help moving forward? If you have tried everything and nothing has worked, perhaps it's time to see a licensed therapist.

Anxiety? Depression? Stress? Life Changes? With over thirty years of experience in private practice, I have noticed how sometimes long-standing behaviors can actually create personal problems, cause relationship difficulties, and undermine the achievement of life goals.

Couples Therapy identifies and builds upon personal and relationships strengths to repair interpersonal distress. Group Psychotherapy enhances and deepens personal awareness so you improve your connections with others.
