You can't choose your family, but you can choose your therapist. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unfulfilled, it doesn’t have to be this way. I will partner with you in getting to the root causes of your symptoms, learning how to cope or recover, while motivating and empowering you to reach your optimal mental wellness. I am accepting new clients and can get you on the schedule within the week. If you are ready for something different, give me a call today.
I am a licensed psychotherapist in Maryland with background in both social work and clinical psychology. My approach is primarily psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, but I also have expertise in cognitive-behavioral treatments for anxiety, including OCD and panic attacks.
I aim to help clients to understand themselves more deeply in order to increase feelings of self-worth, resolve anxiety, achieve greater meaning in their lives, and reduce unhappiness, relationship conflict, underachievement, and self-sabotage. I especially welcome those who have not found enough benefit from previous therapy attempts.
