My Background

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience providing psychotherapy to adults across a wide range of life stages and concerns. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Brown University and my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

My clinical training includes work at Mount Holyoke College Counseling Service, a predoctoral internship at Duke University Counseling and Psychological Services, and a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgetown University Counseling and Psychiatric Service (CAPS). Following my fellowship, I remained at Georgetown CAPS for ten years, serving first as a Staff Psychologist and later as Clinical Director. In these roles, I provided individual therapy, supervised trainees and staff, and helped lead clinical services for undergraduate and graduate students navigating academic, personal, and emotional challenges.

These experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities while treating concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity development, life transitions, and stress. Today, I bring that depth of clinical experience to my private practice, where I provide personalized, evidence-based psychotherapy for adults.

My Therapeutic Style

Every person comes to therapy with a unique story, which is why I believe treatment should never be one-size-fits-all. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs, strengths, and goals.

I integrate evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), relational, and mindfulness-based interventions—to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're seeking short-term support for a specific challenge or longer-term psychotherapy for personal growth, we will work together to develop an approach that feels right for you.

My areas of clinical expertise include:

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Depression

  • Relationship concerns

  • Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety

  • Self-esteem and identity development

  • Sexual orientation and gender identity exploration

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy

  • Academic stress, graduate student mental health, and career transitions

  • Young adult development and life transitions

I have particular expertise working with college students, graduate students, and young professionals, drawing on more than a decade of experience in university mental health. I understand the unique pressures that can accompany academic life, career decisions, perfectionism, relationships, and major life transitions.

I have also completed advanced training through Postpartum Support International in the assessment and treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I work with individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the emotional challenges that can accompany becoming a parent, providing compassionate, evidence-based care during this important life transition.

Above all, I strive to create a warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself. A strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change, and my goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as we work together toward the life you want to build.
