My practice integrates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and clinical hypnosis to address conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and relationship difficulties. I prioritize creating a warm, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to achieve meaningful change. Located in Bethesda, Maryland, I offer both in-person and secure teletherapy sessions tailored to meet individual needs. My training includes a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maryland and a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of mental health across the lifespan.I collaborate closely with parents and families to foster effective communication and address behavioral challenges in children.

3 sessions was all we needed for my family to get on track again. It was all online. We'll probably keep seeing her as needed. She was very good at understanding our needs and making recommendations.
