Are you or your spouse having an affair? I have 20+ years of experience helping marriages and individuals successfully navigate and survive an affair. I often witness marriages becoming stronger after our work together. Yours can too. Some of the other issues I work with daily are communication problems in relationships, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and grieving. Doctors refer their patients because they say they know my techniques work. If you have questions please call or email. There's no need to put off getting the help you need. The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll feel good about yourself - and life - again.

Counseling others has been my passion for the past 25 years. My joy and fulfillment comes from helping others increase the quality of their life. I am drawn to helping those who suffer with depression and anxiety, low self esteem, and symptoms of trauma and abuse. I believe everyone deserves to live a healthy and meaningful life no matter what mistakes they have made in the past. I also believe that it is in the worst situations that we discover our strengths and abilities.

The problem you are dealing with, whether it's a struggling marriage, depression, anxiety, sexual issues or parenting challenges, will be addressed in a safe and competent way in your session. I have 20 years of experience working with individuals, marriages and families on some everyday issues that have quick solutions as well as some complex, long-term problems that require in-depth therapy. I have extensive training in the leading approaches in psychotherapy and have learned the tricks of the trade from the most respected names in the field. I use a comprehensive approach of therapy and psychological assessment in my practice.

Bethesda Counseling Service was created from the idea that individuals, couples, and marriages and families are not to maximize their potential. I believe that some individuals hinder themselves and their potential due to faulty misconceptions that they have acquired over the years. These faulty misconceptions appear to blind some individuals from seeing the solution to their problems. Sometimes, individuals need someone to help them to see their solution and aid them in maximizing their potential. I believe that you and I working together can help you to be that person, couple, marriage or family that you want to be.
