About
I am a licensed Psychologist in Washington DC and in Maryland. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, specifically child sexual abuse. I have extensive experience in the utilization of evidenced based treatment in the area of trauma with children as young as 3 years old. I also provide psychological and psycho-educational evaluations. I have worked with children impacted by the foster care system, multiple traumas, grief and loss, gay, lesbian, and transgendered youth . I strongly believe in creating a warm and accepting amotsphere and that this is a neccessary condition for successful treatment. I completed a one year postdoctoral fellowship in Trauma Focused-CBT at UMDNJ and I utilize this approach in treating children and adolescents. I have a strong interest in working with families and youth in communicating about sexual identification/orientation issues. My approach to therapy is very person centered and I believe strongly in working with clients strengths and resources. My background as a licensed clinical social worker and licensed psychologist have given me a unique and holistic perspective of the client and their environment as a focus of treatment .
