Individual Therapy
I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing life challenges, including:
-
Relationship difficulties
-
Struggling with loss or grief
-
Family difficulties
-
Spiritual and existential questions
-
Trouble healing from abuse or neglect
-
Challenges that stem from navigating various transitions and changes in life.
I have found that a customized approach to therapy for each individual works best, and I often blend psychodynamic, cognitive, and positive psychology theories and approaches to help individuals achieve their goals in therapy. I offer a free phone consultation to help you explore how well we might work together. If another therapist may better serve you, I’m happy to provide referrals and recommendations for trusted colleagues in our DMV area.

About Telemedicine Sessions
During this public health crisis and for the foreseeable future, I have transitioned my practice entirely to virtual sessions. Using a secure video teleconferencing (VTC) platform, we join in to a session together and talk privately. Phone sessions are also available for individuals who prefer to speak only by phone, who are not comfortable using VTC, or do not have access to WiFi or steady internet connection.
Telemedicine/Teletherapy/Telepsychology are terms used to describe the increased accessibility and flexibility in receiving psychological services through the use of mobile technology (laptop, phone, or tablet) or phone.

You have a right to receive a GFE in writing and orally when requested and when scheduling a new appointment with this practice.
