I believe that our philosophy is important and makes me a better advocate for your relationship.
Marriage counseling is my area of specialty. I'm a marriage and family therapist who has made relationship dynamics my exclusive focus and expertise.

I have been providing individual, couples, and group psychotherapy for over 25 years.
Typically, people enter therapy because they are having problems in their relationships. Successful psychotherapy must focus on helping develop more fulfilling and substantial interpersonal connections. Facilitating a client’s capacity to lead a richer and more emotionally balanced life is the objective. The therapeutic relationship is the road traveled, and enables the client to understand the choices they have made, the associated positive and negative consequences, and the freedom to make new, more effective and satisfying life decisions.

I have experience with several general areas of psychotherapy, with specialties in couples/ relationship counseling, trauma, abuse, anger management, anxiety/stress, and domestic violence.
I provide adults in the Washington, D.C. area with individual, couples and group psychotherapy. My style of therapy is accepting, collaborative, and respectful of individual values and choices.
I adjust my techniques and theoretical approach depending on your needs, comfort level, and personality. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing therapeutic environment so that you may search within to find your own answers through greater self-awareness and self-directed growth.

I believe we come to be fulfilled in life through our relationships--to ourselves, each other and the world around us. Emotional distress is a signal that one of those relationships is in trouble and needs attention. My approach to restoring wellbeing emphasizes empathy, compassionate communication and thoughtful action. A person who reaches out for professional help is making an important first step in the process of healing, learning and growing as a person. Collaborating with a therapist means establishing a trusting and respectful relationship and then exploring together a path to personal wellbeing. I'm committed to that.

An open therapeutic relationship is most important, as it is the foundation of positive change.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a place where we feel stuck or lost and have a sense of wanting to change the way things are. Therapy can help. I aim to provide you with a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are distressing or overwhelming. Therapy is a collaborative process in which you gain greater insight into yourself, a better understanding of your strengths, and learn how to enact positive changes in your present life. I provide individual and couples therapy to adults of all backgrounds and experiences to clients based in NC or VA.

I work with clients experiencing a broad range of challenges, including relationship difficulties, life transitions and adjustments, addiction, trauma, abuse, narcissistic abuse and gaslighting, procrastination, decision-making, anxiety, depression, family-of-origin challenges, and grief and loss.
I work with clients who are distressed or confused by why they engage in the behaviors they do, whether it's addiction, anger, or relationship difficulties and challenges. I believe this is because my stance is non-judgmental and I genuinely believe that all behavior is rational given past experience or the actual situation, even if it is not helpful in the present. I work to help clients navigate how these behaviors may have arisen, to develop self-compassion, and then to provide support and strategies to do the hard work of adopting new, more helpful behaviors.

Parenting, being a teenager, and being in a relationship can be some of the most fulfilling and challenging parts of life! I specialize in helping people, who are in strained relationships or struggling with trauma and other things that are private, find a new path. Life is full of difficulties, but often underneath it all is a lack of connection and belonging. I make it safe for teens and parents, adults and couples to get unstuck and talk about the real stuff that makes it difficult to live a satisfied life and thrive.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, and uncertain?

Does it feel like you’re working harder than ever at managing your relationships but somehow still coming up short? I get it. Life can be extremely challenging, but it shouldn’t feel like you’ll break down at any moment. That isn’t sustainable!

Hi, welcome in. Do you feel suck in patterns you can't change? The most important part of counseling is the relationship between counselor and client. I foster that relationship by creating a collaborative, warm, and comfortable environment where you can focus on what you need to. Utilizing an open-minded approach, I address the whole person by using modalities of treatment that fit individual client needs. I see my role as your counselor is to give you the space to navigate through life's stressors, reprocess distressing experiences, and increase self-awareness.

'What worries you, masters you.' Do worries, stress and fears cause imbalance in your life? I work with individual clients to identify and reframe core beliefs and assumptions, and shift challenging patterns and behaviors. 'Love does not dominate; it cultivates.' Relationships require openness, curiosity, and trust. Couples counseling provides a nonjudgmental, distraction-free space to share and listen. Clients explore challenges, identify strengths, and mutually gain deeper understanding of themselves and the relationship.

As a clinical psychologist trained in evidence-based psychotherapy, I have 10+ years successfully treating couples and individuals for a wide array of issues, ranging from premarital jitters and affairs, to ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I pursued advanced postdoctoral training in couples therapy and have extensive experience treating individuals of all ages and in various settings, including medical centers, outpatient clinics, primary care, and universities. At its core, my structured therapy process centers on a collaborative relationship between therapist and client, relying heavily on mutual respect and trust.

I work mainly from a psychodynamic perspective; my focus is on helping you understand your current symptoms and concerns by examining both current and early life experiences and problematic relationship patterns.
Through an empathic, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic approach, I will focus on helping you understand what is getting in the way of you feeling more fulfilled in life. Perhaps you question your ability to sustain meaningful and lasting relationships. Or you worry about how others see you, spend too much energy trying to please people, and doubt your attractiveness and worthiness to them. I believe therapy can help you develop a more authentic relationship with yourself, allowing you to be more clear in your communication with others. I have ample experience and enjoy working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and career concerns.

As a counselor, I am privileged to be able to share in my clients' journeys and to help them overcome difficulties. 20 years of practice have shown me that when faced with overwhelming struggles we must first acknowledge their existence, and only then can we reach for the help necessary to find achievable solutions. In the safety of a grounded, knowledgeable, and insight-oriented counseling experience I believe this is possible.
