Before couples therapy, Potomac MD couples have expressed that when tempers rise and anger is expressed, people oftentimes yell, curse, and say things they don’t mean in a tone of voice that is hurtful to their loved ones.

One theme that has come up frequently in my Bethesda MD couples counseling sessions recently is how quickly tempers and emotions flare when discussing certain “hot button” issues.

However, in my Potomac MD family counseling office, I often […]
One of the most common conversations that I hear from couples that sit in my Potomac MD couples counseling therapy room goes something like this: Partner 1: “You said you would support me… I’m going through a very difficult time right now, and you said you would do whatever I need.

In theory, wedding planning is fun. You get to prance around in a magical world with your spouse-to-be, picking out beautiful items for your registry, designing and hand crafting your invitations, and planning an epic party for your closest friends and family. In reality, wedding planning is fun….some of the time. The rest of the […]
As a Potomac, MD family counseling therapist, working with teenagers has been one of the more rewarding aspects of my career thus far because I feel that I have been able to really connect with and help most teenagers that walk into my office. I wish I could say I had discovered a huge secret […]
