I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for over 10 years. I completed my Clinical Internship and Post-doctoral Fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and prior to that, received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University.

I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and interpersonal issues. I adopt highly effective, evidence-based treatment approaches, which include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), mindfulness interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Functional Family Therapy (FFT). I have been fortunate to work in a variety of settings, including nationally-recognized hospitals, schools, private practices, and community-based health clinics.

I firmly believe in using clinical research to inform practice, and actively incorporate newly-emerging trends into my clinical techniques. I have been involved in mental health research since 2012, and have published extensively in the areas of child development, parenting, and the impact of stress on individuals’ functioning, particularly among marginalized groups.

As a former collegiate basketball player, I enjoy staying active through hiking, skiing, and resistance training. I am also an avid cook on the constant lookout for new and creative recipes!
