About

Welcome! I am a Clinical Psychologist offering therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults, with expertise in perinatal mental health. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, mood and anxiety concerns, parenthood, and challenges related to early caregiving relationships. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each client’s cultural background and lived experience. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, play therapy, attachment-based interventions, and psychodynamic therapy. I see clients in-person or virtually in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. In addition to helping individuals with life transitions, stress, and mood and anxiety issues also, I have a special passion and expertise in supporting individuals experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) (e.g., postpartum depression).
