Shmuel has been working with children and adults for over 25 years helping them strengthen self-esteem, work on emotional regulation, build compassion toward others, and improve their relationships with others. When working with clients, his goal is to create a calm and comfortable atmosphere where clients can talk about their most intimate and personal struggles. Through working together, Shmuel helps clients discover strengths they were not aware of, build support systems for long-term success, and improves their ability to regulate their emotions. ​

 

He always treats the individual underneath the issues and helps them overcome their challenges. He also works with men who have spouses with a number of sexual dysfunctions such as pelvic pain, vulvodynia, sexual anxiety, sexual aversion, and low sexual desire.

 

Marriages with a female sexual dysfunction or unconsummated marriages require extra support for those husbands. He helps men navigate intimate relationships where there is a difference in sexual desires, helping men with low libido or with sexual frustration.

 

Shmuel has experience with couples and helps them communicate more effectively and compassionately.

 

Clients of all religions and varying levels of observance will feel accepted and welcomed by Shmuel. He lives in Silver Spring with his wife and their seven children.
