I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing out-patient mental health services in Northern Virginia since January 2007. I diagnose and treat a wide range of disorders in adolescents and adults. During therapy, I create an environment where people feel safe and comfortable while managing difficult situations. I assist them with developing ways to learn and recognize beneficial patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I approach therapy from the following perspectives to help individuals use their inherent strengths to improve their quality of life: Cognitive Behavior, Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapies, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Repossessing (EMDR). I am a EMDRIA Approved Consultant.
To help clarify diagnoses, I perform a wide range of psychological assessments: including children, adolescents and adults. I coordinate with schools and health care providers to provide as thorough a psychological assessment as possible. It is my goal to help you evolve into your best self.
As a veteran with more than 20 years of military service, I seek to help service members, veterans and their family members work through post-deployment psychological problems and other adjustment concerns. Treating veterans and nonveterans with trauma related anxiety and depression is also an area of specialization.
