ABOUT ME

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from George Washington University. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Washington D.C. and Virginia. I offer in person appointments at my office in Washington D.C. as well as virtual appointments.

I use a warm, empathic, and flexible approach to tailor services for each person. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, and that therapy is a tool to better understand ourselves and empower ourselves to make changes.

EXPERIENCE

I have worked with adolescents and adults across different settings, including in community mental health, in college counseling, and in a federal government agency. I most often work with individuals who are navigating difficult life transitions, are experiencing depression, anxiety, or stress, or who are experiencing relationship difficulties. I also work with clients who are experiencing symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), specific phobias, or distress related to trauma. Depending on your presenting concern, we will work together to create an approach that makes you feel heard and addresses the issues you would like to work on.
