Welcome to my practice!
I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I have expertise in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, ADHD, emotion dysregulation, coping with health issues and chronic illness, and stress-related disorders across the lifespan. I also specialize in women’s mental health and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Further, I consult with parents of children and teens with a variety of issues (anxiety, depression, ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders) to help parents respond more effectively to challenging behaviors, develop strategies to support their children, and enact lasting change in the home.
I believe deeply in the power of a positive and genuine therapeutic relationship, and my style is warm, validating, and non-judgmental. I combine this with concrete, evidence-based therapeutic techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, and mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches. My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual client. No two therapy journeys are the same, and my process starts with meeting you where you are, identifying where you want to be, and establishing goals for therapy that can help get you there. Together, we work as a team to identify and explore emotions, understand unhelpful patterns of behavior and thought, and develop effective coping skills. If you are feeling stuck, therapy can help you make a positive change and move forward.
I am licensed in the District of Columbia (PSY200001283), Maryland (06381), Virginia (0810007254), and am authorized to practice Telehealth in PSYPACT states (APIT 7845).
