I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience. Though I have certain diagnostic specialty areas, I am most interested in getting to know you as a whole person - your suffering, your struggles, your strengths, your dreams. Together, we can discover and help you overcome the obstacles that keep you from leading a more satisfying and full life.
My approach to psychotherapy is very individualized, taking many factors into account (current external stressors, life stage, existing coping mechanisms, personality characteristics, and more). Over the first 3-4 sessions, we will discuss the problems that brought you to therapy in detail and begin to develop an understanding of how you’re getting stuck and what will help you get unstuck. This is also a time for you to get a sense of me and for us to determine if my approach and personality is a good fit for you. During, and at the end of this period, I will share my thoughts and recommendations for what will help you and you can determine how you want to proceed based on those recommendations.
I have a special interest in depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship problems. I was featured in Washingtonian Magazine as a “top therapist” - someone other mental health practitioners in the D.C area would send a family member to for help. In addition to therapy services, I provide supervision and consultation to other mental health providers.
Please call me at 703.577.7318. I look forward to speaking with you!
