I have been providing psychotherapy in a private practice setting for years and find it to be the most satisfying way to connect directly with my clients and my community. I enjoy working with clients and seeing them grow over time, moving towards a life that makes them feel more fulfilled. One of the moments I cherish most is when my clients are able to build self-acceptance and have more compassion for themselves.
My extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy allows me to help my clients gain perspective and become more present in their lives and their relationships.
How I work:
I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based behavior therapy that focuses on helping clients live fulfilling and meaningful lives even with the struggles of everyday life. I offer a collaborative approach that helps to guide clients toward their goals through fostering insight and acceptance while also reducing avoidance behaviors. I believe that every person has a natural internal strength that I seek to foster through empowerment. My ultimate goal is to help clients drop the struggle and live a valued life so they can manage the inevitable ups and downs of the human experience on their own.
Who I work with:
I am a general psychologist in that I work with all mental health and stress-related issues including life transitions, relationship issues, mood and anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and grief. I have a particular interest in grief and loss, as well as anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
More about me:
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology- Loyola University in Maryland and my Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am the Past-President of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences. I provide supervision to our doctoral-level externs and enjoy supervising students and early career psychologists. I also enjoy providing consultation for clinicians and practices interested in learning more about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
