Great to meet you!

In practice for over 35 years, I was recognized as a "Top Therapist" by the Washingtonian Magazine and the first recipient of the "Private Practice Clinician of the Year" award by the Mental Health Association of Montgomery County.

My approach to therapy

My approach is practical and conversational as we explore together the stressors of daily living, relationship concerns, parenting issues, and in some instances, severe psychiatric disorders. Often, clients seek short-term interventions, though for some difficulties therapy continues for an extended period.

What you can expect from me

I allow my clients to set the agenda for our work together and decide what sort of help is needed.
