About Me

I have been involved professionally in mental health treatment for over a decade, initially working in a psychiatric hospital and community mental health centers in the Boston area. I began graduate study in clinical psychology in 2013, working as a trainee in a community mental health clinic and several counseling centers in the Washington DC area.  I completed my pre-doctoral internship at North Carolina State University’s Counseling Center.  I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) from the George Washington University in 2017.  

I served on the faculty at the George Washington University’s Professional Psychology program as a postdoctoral fellow for two years. There, I taught students and received additional training in psychotherapy, supervision, assessment and psychoanalytic theory.  I have worked as a psychotherapist in a group practice based in Bethesda and Gaithersburg since 2018. I opened my private practice in the fall of 2020.

I am originally from the DC area, though I consider Boston a second home.  My main clinical interests include contemporary psychoanalytic theory and relationship issues. I am particularly curious about racial dynamics in psychotherapy and wrote my doctoral paper about race within Black-White psychotherapy relationships. I love psychotherapy and feel privileged to name it as my profession.
