I can assist you with the following:
- Anxiety/Worry and Stress
- Major and Minor Depression, and Bipolar Disorder
- Intimacy/Relationship/Connection Difficulties
- Anger and Its Consequences
- Multicultural Adjustment
- Workplace Performance and Career-Related Concerns
I enjoy working with the international community, including individuals who are in Washington on work or student visas, members of the diplomatic missions, and U.S. foreign service workers.
My practice is inclusive with respect to racial or ethnic identity, country of origin, physical ability, sexual and gender diversity, and religious and political affiliation.
SERVICES
Psychotherapy for Adults – In addition to easing or eliminating feelings of anxiety and depression, good psychotherapy can help you positively adjust your lifestyle. In other words, you are not simply learning something mildly interesting about yourself. The therapy process in and of itself powerfully affects relationships with others and your ability to deal with life’s challenges.
Psychotherapy for Couples – Typically, couples come in for approximately ten to twenty sessions and learn how to either improve intimacy on various levels by learning how to manage conflict effectively, or—if one member of the couple (or both) deems it necessary—learn how to part amicably and respectfully. In either situation, my experience has shown that each person has the opportunity to grow individually in this process, irrespective of the relationship’s next phase.
Consultation and Psychotherapy/Psychiatry Referral – I do not charge for the initial consultation unless you choose to continue with me. Because goodness of fit is essential for successful outcomes, you might consider talking with more than one therapist, if possible, to ensure the best match for you. You should get a sense fairly quickly which therapist will connect best with you and challenge you in the most helpful ways.
Telephone-Based Psychotherapy – This option is available only for people already working with me, who will be out of town for only a few months, or who become physically incapacitated. Any other arrangements will be handled on an individual basis. In most instances, telephone-based therapy is not recommended.
Workshops and Presentations
I offer four separate workshops, which involve one to three hours of didactic and interactive training, to help:
- enhance communication by learning and applying essential couples therapy concepts
- sharpen medical and legal professionals’ effectiveness in working with difficult patients or clients
- relate effectively to support someone with a recent diagnosis of a chronic medical illness
