Currently accepting new clients for in-person and virtual services!

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.

I provide individual therapy to adults seeking to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the experiences that shape their lives. Within the context of a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship, I work alongside clients as they develop deeper awareness of their feelings, patterns, and personal histories. Together, we explore both pain and possibility, with the goal of fostering meaningful change.
