During this difficult time, CWPA therapists want you to know that we are continuing to provide psychological services and support by video conference. The physical separation required by "social distancing" does not need to equate to being psychologically distant. During the pandemic, it is important for our mental health to be as psychologically connected as possible to help ameliorate the strain of necessary physical separation.
Consider calling or video conferencing with neighbors, friends or family once or twice a day. Include conversation about subjects other than the pandemic. While it's fine to ask, "How are you doing?." talk about other subjects as well: TV programs you are watching, a book you like or recall pleasant memories from the past. Central Washington Psychotherapy Associates (CWPA) is an association of psychotherapists and psychoanalysts which provides a broad spectrum of psychotherapy and mental health wellness services.
Our offices are located in Northwest Washington, DC in Dupont Circle and Woodley Park; in Bethesda and Takoma Park, MD; and in Alexandria, VA.

I believe that people have the innate potential to live emotionally satisfying lives and to experience fulfillment in their work, study, relationships and recreation.
I have an interactive style using both brief or depth psychotherapy which is both challenging and compassionate.
I work with a broad array of persons from diverse backgrounds.
Clients wanting their spiritual or lifestyle orientations respected are especially welcome.
My post-graduate training includes extensive study at the C. G. Jung Institute in Switzerland and with the Philadelphia Jung Institute.

I believe that my job as a psychotherapist is to help each person become more fully themselves and more authentic in their relationships.
Part of the way that is accomplished is to provide a safe psychotherapeutic environment so that the healing process can unfold.
I bring to the therapeutic relationship respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard for each client.
We work together to extend this approach to the unhealed and unloved parts of oneself.
As a psychotherapist, my role is not to give advice but to serve as a guide through these inner worlds and I often use various forms of expressive therapy to assist in this process.

The theory of C.G. Jung strongly guides my practice.
Jungian Analysis is by nature unique for each individual who enters it.
No one set of techniques or methods works for every patient or "analysand."
Jung postulated the existence of the collective unconscious, a layer of personality older and deeper than that of any one individual's experience.
Analytic work in the Jungian tradition, like other psychodynamic therapies, involves providing insight about emotional difficulties.
But it goes beyond other analytic approaches by identifying natural potentials and energies within the analysand to transform the individual's suffering and conflicts.

As a physician who specializes in adult psychiatry, I see patients/clients from college age to the elderly.
I enjoy doing psychotherapy and may, as helpful or appropriate for an individual's care, also prescribe and oversee psychiatric medication management.
Whenever possible, I believe the doctor-patient relationship to be a collaborative, respectful, honest, and exploratory one that occurs within a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.
In an emergent crisis, however, my role changes to one of swift action focused on keeping an individual safe.

I have over twenty years experience as a psychotherapist working in private practice.
I have also been a practicing acupuncturist for over thirty years.
Working as a practitioner, teacher and clinical supervisor in both these fields, I have experienced and have respect for the dynamics involved in balancing the energies of heart, mind, and body in the service of improving my patients' quality of life.
Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, the challenges of relationships, the intrusions of trauma, the poignancies of loss, a health crisis, or a crisis of faith, the psychotherapy process provides a reliable time and place where caring attention can assist you through transitions towards improved overall health.
