I am a Licensed Psychology Associate in Maryland and doctoral intern working under the supervision of Drs. Allyson Kett and Nicole Berger. I believe one of life’s greatest gifts is our ability to grow through connection, and I strive to bring this perspective into every therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space that feels authentic, supportive, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. I view therapy as a collaborative process; one that involves building a personalized set of tools to help clients navigate life with greater resilience and self-awareness.
My clinical interests include the diagnosis and treatment of ASD and obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as working with children and adolescents who are managing anxiety, depression, ADHD or difficulties with emotional regulation, including anger. My theoretical orientation is an integrative approach that combines psychodynamic principles with play therapy. I focus on helping clients explore underlying emotional processes while using developmentally appropriate, creative techniques, especially with children, to support expression, and to furtherinsight.
Professional Experience
I earned my undergraduate degree from Towson University, completed my master’s at Pennsylvania State University, and am currently in my fifth year of the Doctor of Clinical Psychology program at Stevenson University. In addition to my clinical training, I serve as a professor in the psychology department at Towson University. On the first day of class, I tell my students that while I am there to teach, I am equally there to learn. This philosophy shapes both my academic and clinical work. I believe learning is a lifelong journey, and I strive to remain open, and reflective.
Life Outside the Office
I enjoy spending time with family and friends! I love the outdoors, and my three pomskies Zeus,
Poseidon and Hades!
