About Me

I am a psychoanalyst and licensed clinical psychologist licensed to practice in the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Virginia. My professional training includes experience with individual, group, and family psychotherapy in various inpatient, outpatient, residential, community, and emergency settings. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients.

My academic and clinical journey began at Vanderbilt University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. I furthered my academic pursuits at St. Michael’s College in Vermont where I received a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. After working in a community mental health setting in Tampa, Florida, I pursued a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree in Clinical Psychology at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and subsequently completed my predoctoral internship at the Austin State Hospital in Austin, Texas. Fairfax County Mental Health Services-Springfield Site is where I completed my postdoctoral residency in psychology in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I am a Graduate Psychoanalyst from the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis located in Washington, D.C. I am also a Teaching Analyst on the faculty of the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested and/or if you have questions about psychoanalytic treatment.

I specialize in the treatment of individuals with anxiety, depression, and maladaptive, interpersonal relationships. I utilize a supportive, exploratory, and insight-oriented way of working with patients, best identified as psychodynamically- or psychoanalytically-oriented treatment.
