Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist specializing in behavioral therapy for young children (ages 2-7) facing common challenges such as tantrums, difficulty following instructions, outbursts, aggression, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, adjustment issues, and sleep concerns. I received my training at the Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and previously served on the faculty at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital. Additionally, I am a certified provider of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on providing caregivers with evidence-based strategies to manage and improve their child's behavior at home. Treatment is skill-building and goal-oriented in nature, with a primary aim of empowering parents with tools to better understand their child’s behavior and implement effective solutions. If your child's emotions or behaviors are affecting your family’s daily life, I hope you'll reach out. Together, we'll create a personalized and practical plan that suits your family's needs, decreases stress, promotes positive behaviors in your child, and ensures you have the necessary tools to help your child thrive.
