My Approach to Helping

Hi. My approach is active and collaborative, flexibly tailoring evidence-based strategies to best meet the needs of clients. I have expertise working with individuals and couples on issues related to strained relationships, traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, anger management, decision making, alcohol/substance use, and insomnia. These problems are often very much related to one another.To each session, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience gained from many years of clinical and research training. Clients bring a lifetime of personal history and experience. Together, we work to understand and resolve the problems you face. I offer counseling/therapy, clinical consultation, and diagnostic evaluation.

More Info About My Practice

I hold a faculty appointment as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, and as a Scientist, in the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS), both at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, MD. These positions keep me connected to current advances in the field.Please call or email to set up a free 15 minute phone consultation.
