I earned my Masters and PsyD degrees in Clinical Psychology from the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University. After completing my internship at Beth Israel Medical Center in NYC, I trained at Georgetown University's Counseling and Psychiatric Service through the Postdoctoral program. Subsequent to becoming licensed as a clinical psychologist in Virginia and DC, I worked as the Trauma Specialist at Georgetown University. I am also credentialed by the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology.

I am trained as a psychodynamic psychologist. As such, I believe that our early experiences shape our later expectations of ourselves and our relationships. Some of these events may contribute to feelings of depression and anxiety. Through psychotherapy, I assist clients in examining patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may have begun early in life and continue to generate feelings of unhappiness.

After conducting a thorough assessment, I provide recommendations and develop a treatment plan based on the specific needs of the client. My approach is collaborative and supportive as I help people develop deeper insight into why they do the things they do and feel the way they feel. In doing so, I hope to help clients increase self-awareness and establish more satisfying interpersonal relationships. The relationship between the client and therapist is an important means by which we may come to understand the client’s expectations of others. Therefore, I encourage ongoing discussion about the work.

My clinical interests are varied. I primarily work with adolescents and adults who suffer from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, eating disorders and grief reactions. I also have extensive experience working with trauma survivors, including women who have been sexually assaulted. Many of my clients are undergraduate and graduate students from local universities.
