Welcome!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing Consultation, Short and Long-term Individual Therapy, and Couples Therapy to adults and young professionals in the Washington, DC, metro area.

How am I different?

Many treatments merely focus on symptom reduction but do not address underlying issues. This can feel haphazard and clients can find it difficult to make lasting changes.

 

I work with clients to turn over all the “puzzle pieces” of what makes them who they are (i.e. aspects of their unique capacities, beliefs, history, symptoms, current situation, and so on) and start to examine how they fit together. Many of my clients have reported that this approach has allowed them to progress much faster and helped them implement lasting changes (i.e. having a picture of the puzzle provides us with a strong foundation from which we can create short and long-term goals, take steps to build increased awareness, and foster meaningful change). 

Services and Specialty Areas

 I believe that healing is a process and occurs through reconnecting with your authentic experience within a strong therapeutic relationship. I strive to maintain an open, honest, and collaborative environment in which clients feel both supported and challenged in their quest to enjoy their best life. Although I adapt to the needs of each client, these are some of the areas where I can help you: 

  • Depression​

  • Relationship Issues

  • Anxiety

  • Trauma and Healing

  • Personal Growth

  • Life Transitions

  • Perfectionism

  • Women’s Issues

  • Self-Esteem

  • Grief and Loss

  • Issues relating to LGBTQIA Identity
