WELCOME

Welcome to my practice! I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Washington DC. I provide confidential individual, group and couples therapy to adult and adolescent clients. I have experience working with a diverse clientele and welcome individuals from all racial and ethnic backgrounds. In my practice, I work as a generalist and treat individuals and couples on a wide variety of presenting issues and concerns.

As the effectiveness of therapy relies on forming a collaborative, trusting relationship with your therapist, it is important to find someone who is a good match for you. I invite you to explore my website in order to learn more about me and my practice. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an initial consultation.

About me

education & experience

 I received my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan and my Doctorate of Psychology from George Washington University. As a part of my doctoral training, I completed a Pre-Doctoral Internship at American University and clinical externships at various mental health facilities in the Washington DC area. After receiving my doctorate, I continued my training as a post-doctoral fellow at Georgetown University. I have received advanced group psychotherapy training through the Washington School of Psychiatry and advanced couples training through the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.

I have been in private practice in Washington DC since 2005. I am also the co-founder and co-director of Prentice, a private practice training institute. Additionally, since 2007, I have taught as adjunct faculty at Georgetown University. Prior to my work as a private practitioner, I was a Staff Psychologist at Georgetown University's Counseling and Psychiatric Service. There, I served as the LGBTQ Specialist and Assistant Director of Training and provided individual and group psychotherapy to undergraduate and graduate students. From 1998 to 2000, I worked at the National Institutes of Mental Health as a clinical researcher investigating the effectiveness of treatments for bipolar and major depressive disorders.
