Why Seek Therapy

People come to see me for a variety of reasons. Some want therapy to resolve trauma or dysfunction. Others are more interested in self-development. These goals often overlap between personal growth and in-depth psychotherapy, but all involve the choice to work toward making your life better.

You may have long-standing issues, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, poor body image, trauma history, compulsive behaviors, emotional numbness, sexual concerns, and/or difficulty with career or handling money. Or you may be going through a crisis – perhaps a sudden loss of a job, a parent, a spouse or relationship – or maybe were diagnosed with a life threatening disease and are seeking support and direction.

On the other hand, you may be doing quite well but wish to examine the direction of your life, perhaps wanting something more. It could be wanting more out of a career or relationships, or that you want to explore your values or sense of what is spiritual in your life.

Therapy can help you:

• Feel more connected to yourself and to others
• Understand how past experiences have affected you and move on from those experiences
• Develop healthy and effective communication
• Feel more motivated, procrastinate less
• Relate to others in a way that feels more authentic, stable, and effective
• Replace destructive patterns with healthier, more life-affirming ones
• Feel more connected to your body
• Identify and ask for what you need and want
• Feel more energetic, alive, hopeful, and vibrant
• Navigate difficult situations with respect for yourself and others

We can discuss what you are looking for and how we can work together to meet your needs and goals. Make this the moment you start living your life the way you want it to be.  My office is conveniently located right next to the Woodley Park-Zoo-Adams Morgan metro station.
