About Me
I am a counseling psychologist licensed in MD and DC, and I am PSYCPACT Certified allowing me to provide telehealth across certain state jurisdictions. I have built my practice to encompass a wide range of specialty areas and continue to develop my expertise in anxiety, relationships, trauma, and eating disorders.
My History
I have been in private practice for over two decades in DC and MD.
I earned my BA, MA and Ph.D. from the University of Maryland at College Park. My career began working with college and graduate students as I worked at GW, UMCP, Towson, and UMBC in different roles including staff psychologist, outreach coordinator, clinical supervisor and adjunct professor.
From there, I have sought continuous training in ACT, CBT, anxiety management, trauma recovery, couples therapy and eating disorders to inform my work with adults and adolescents.
My Values
I appreciate the cultural differences, lived experiences, and unique attributes each of my clients bring. The mind-body connection is one of the keys to working through mental health.
I maintain a curiosity for understanding that guides my work with clients in helping them change.
I am a clinician who believes in the scientist-practitioner model, and I use current research and theory to support my work.
Other specialty areas include shame, loss, depression, ADHD, career, divorce, parenting, infertility, identity development, college transition, and family of origin dynamics.
I enjoy living in Montgomery County with my husband, three children and two dogs
