TELETHERAPY SESSIONS AVAILABLE. I enjoy working with all types of people, but I find the clients I am most successful with are those who are willing to look beneath the surface of the issue that brought them to me. So often the "problems" we experience are connected to so many different situations or experiences in our lives, that it can be difficult to determine how best to handle them. I truly enjoy assisting others in this process and find that most people have exactly the solutions and resources they need to successfully manage their lives, but that they sometimes need help finding them.

My specialty is centered around those who are undergoing reproductive challenges including struggling to become pregnant, stay pregnant, or adjust post-pregnancy. Whether I'm working with an individual, couple, or a group, I continually seek out feedback as to how treatment is progressing for them. Therapy should be an effective collaborative effort.

Everyone experiences times in their lives when they feel stuck. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, awake at night worried about the future and paralyzed during the day, unable to take the steps you think might make things better. Or, maybe you are struggling with relationships in your life: a partner, children, friends or colleagues. You aren’t feeling heard or valued and you worry about where things are headed. Or, perhaps you are living with the effects of a trauma that has long since passed but seems to be with you every day. In any case, you don’t want things to continue like this. Something has to change.

Are you leading the life you want? So many people aren't. Dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, and stress become fixtures in our daily lives. If yours is not the life you want, therapy can be a powerful means by which to let go of suffering, to find fulfillment and joy in you life. In my work, I help people develop the skills they need to let go of pain, to pursue their goals, to strengthen relationships, and to live fully. My clients range from people who are having acutely painful problems to people who simply feel stuck or unhappy.

Recently voted "Reader's Pick, Best Family Therapist" 2014 in Bethesda Magazine, I believe the therapeutic relationship (between client and psychotherapist) is the most important element in the interpersonal and relational interventions of therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are, and to help you get to where you want to be: as an individual, a couple, and/or as a family.

Change can be unpredictable and sometimes stressful to the point that it may disturb a family, trigger anxiety or depression, generate relationship problems in adults and behavioral problems in adolescents and children.
