Empowering personal growth and self-awareness through empathic collaboration.

As a licensed psychologist, I approach psychotherapy with a foundation of approachability, trust, and communication. I work with patients to explore what is causing them distress – whether situational or recurring – and identify ways to improve their overall quality of life, pulling from various theoretical perspectives and tailoring a therapeutic approach to each patient’s needs.

Cultivating positive strategies for growth and change.

I seek to be a comforting sounding board and approachable resource for teens and adults as they explore areas of struggle, working as a team to develop strategies to overcome situations and improve various aspects of their lives. No matter the patient, I foster an accepting and secure setting in which individuals are supported and empowered toward personal growth and change.

My Approach

Your advocate and partner on the journey toward personal growth.

Psychotherapy is a wonderful resource for helping manage complicated situations and issues in life. It involves exploring what is causing distress and identifying ways to improve an individual’s overall quality of life.

I am an advocate for my patients’ wellbeing and, as a team, we work together to optimize happiness and positive growth in their lives. I encourage patients to take an active role in the healing process so therapy progresses in a comfortable and effective manner.

For Teens & Young Adults

Revealing Patterns. Developing Tools. Empowering Change.

A significant portion of my practice is dedicated to working with teens and young adults who may feel misunderstood by others, be off-track from their developmental path, feel alone and isolated or overwhelmed by life responsibilities. I aim to serve as an adult outside of the family, acting as a trusted source of support and guidance so young patients feel comfortable confiding in me without fear of judgment. I seek to develop lasting relationships with young people and help them cultivate effective mental health and processing strategies they can carry with them through their adult lives.

For Adults

Insight to the Self. Positive Encouragement. Compassionate Understanding.

While I specialize in therapy for adolescents and young adults, I also enjoy working with adults of all ages, offering support to individuals experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, stress or relationship conflicts. As I do with my younger patients, I strive to create a judgment-free and validating space where individuals can engage in a mutual path toward self-discovery and healing.

It is so incredibly fulfilling to me to be an integral part of an individual’s personal healing, growth and evolution.

Education and Training

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Gettysburg College. From there, I obtained my Master of Arts and Doctor of Psychology degrees from Loyola University in Maryland. My pre-doctoral internship was completed at the Houston Psychotherapy Institute.

My graduate work originally focused on researching and evaluating forensic populations. Later my clinical skill set broadened where I conducted assessments for learning and emotional disabilities for students in a variety of academic environments. I also provided psychotherapy for children, teens and adults with mild to severe mental illness in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

Following my formal training, I was a staff psychologist at a private practice in Baltimore, MD, working with both teens and adults. Several years later, I opened my own practice in the Washington, DC, area.

These invaluable clinical experiences have beget a natural evolution for my work over the years. As a licensed psychologist, I approach psychotherapy with a foundation of approachability, trust and communication. I seek to be a comforting sounding board and approachable resource for teens and adults as they explore areas of struggle, working as a team to develop strategies to overcome situations and improve various aspects of their lives.

Create positive change in your life.
