About

I'm a Washington, DC area therapist with over 35 years' experience helping individuals, couples and families to navigate such issues as relationship difficulties (including around communication, intimacy and infidelity), parenting and co-parenting, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and trauma. I maintain a private practice of individual and couple therapy. A separate part of my practice is dedicated to working with individuals, couples and children going through separation and divorce. I'm also an author, and a trainer of mental health professionals and family lawyers. I am licensed in DC, MD and VA. View 8 Photos My style is warm, empathic, supportive, non-judgmental, interactive and gently direct. Like you, I care most about your life right now. But I'll also help you explore how earlier experiences affect ways you think, feel and behave in the present- both helpfully and not. Building insight within a safe, collaborative relationship is the key to personal growth.
