Currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy appointments!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Washington, DC and Virginia.  I am also PSYPACT certified through the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards, meaning I can provide therapy virtually in these states.

Do you spend a lot of time thinking about whether you're doing enough, making the right decisions, or falling behind? I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, relationship concerns, major life transitions, and who want to feel more confident and at ease in their lives. Together, we explore both pain and possibility, with the goal of fostering meaningful change.
