I am a caring and dedicated psychotherapist and psychoanalyst and have had experience helping people with many different kinds of problems including anxiety and panic attacks, depression, work related procrastination, writer's block, coping with separation, loss and grief, divorce and other relationship problems. In June, 2009, I moved my practice from Cabin John, MD to Virginia Beach, VA and am interested in working both in person and by Skype and telephone. I began doing telephone work with people who moved away and did not want to get a new therapist, and I have more than 25 years of experience. I recommend Skype and telephone work especially for people who are interested in privacy.
