I am a Maryland licensed psychologist. I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and community-social psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
I have extensive training and experience working with children, adolescents, caregivers and schools in a variety of community, school based, outpatient clinic, and private practice settings.
Throughout my graduate school training, I completed externship placements at the University of Maryland School Based Mental Health Program, the Baltimore City Diagnostic Center, and the Kennedy Krieger Institute, where I provided a variety of psychological services, including therapy and psychological testing. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the Child and Family Therapy Clinic at the Kennedy Krieger Institute/ John's Hopkins School of Medicine.
Upon obtaining my Ph.D. in 2007, I completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Behavior Management Clinic at the Kennedy Krieger Institute/ John's Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore.
Prior to opening my private practice in January of 2012, I worked in a group practice in Northern Virginia for three years.
I specialize in working with toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and adolescents presenting with a wide range of developmental, behavioral, social, and emotional challenges. I conduct individual therapy, family therapy, parent training/guidance, and school consultation.
