About
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Washington, DC, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, relationship problems, and difficulty regulating emotions. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a clinical professor of psychology for The George Washington University's Ph.D. program in clinical psychology.
Prior to beginning my full-time private practice, I served as a Staff Psychologist and Director of Psychology Training at Georgetown University’s Counseling and Psychiatric Service (CAPS). I have trained at New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, NYU/Bellevue Hospital, Princeton House Behavioral Health - Penn Medicine, Manhattan Psychiatric Center, The Renfrew Center, and Potomac Behavioral Solutions in Arlington, VA, where I headed a comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program and completed intensive training in DBT through Behavioral Tech LLC. I received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Columbia University, and my M.A. and B.A. in psychology from Wesleyan University.
I use a warm, integrative approach to help change behaviors and identify patterns that prevent clients from living the way they want. We might start by targeting your day-to-day challenges, exploring the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to open a path to change. The next step is often to work backwards, seeking insight and acceptance of past experiences that can impact our adult lives in ways we do not recognize. My clients struggle with a wide range of issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and self-criticism, perfectionism, issues with food and body image, and unsatisfying relationships.
Using my extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapies (e.g. CBT, DBT, ACT) and psychodynamic techniques, I will work with you to develop personalized strategies for realistic, positive change—even after the conclusion of therapy. Most people benefit from a combination of these approaches, but every client is different!
I invite you to reach out to me for a complimentary, 10-15 phone consultation to determine whether I am the best fit for your needs and goals. I look forward to hearing from you!
