With a broad range of education and experience, I’m ready to work with you to achieve your goals.
CBT-I Psychotherapist:
I completed Dr. Gregg Jacobs’ CBT-I training program in 2017 when I realized the benefits CBT-I can have as an adjunct to therapy. I am excited to bring this helpful treatment to those who experience insomnia.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapist:
I completed three years of post-graduate training at Washington Square Institute, a psychodynamic training institute in Manhattan, before leaving to pursue my PhD. I had a private practice in Manhattan for 5 years before relocating to DC.
Researcher:
I’m currently engaged on research exploring the relationship between the physical environment and clinical practice.
Activist:
I am a social worker. I am committed to making choices that are environmentally, ethically and socially sound. In the past I have been an active volunteer at various organizations with an emphasis on mental health.
