I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the states of Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. as well as a PsyPact provider, which means I am able to practice therapy virtually in 42 states across our country.  I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Toledo where I focused my research and clinical training on psychological assessment, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and forensic psychology.  I also earned my master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Madonna University with a focus on psychodynamic theory and integrative approaches to psychotherapy.  My clinical internship was completed the APA accredited Saint Elizabeths Hospital, which is a maximum security forensic psychiatric hospital in Washington, DC.  I also completed my post-doctoral residency in Forensic Psychology at Saint Elizabeths Hospital with a focus on the use of neuropsychological testing in forensic evaluations, such as competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility, and risk assessments. 

I am an Assistant Professor in the PsyD program in Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School - Washington DC campus since 2019 where I have taught classes and supervised dissertations since 2019.  I teach classes in a range of subjects that informs my clinical practice, such as psychodynamic theory/therapy, cognitive assessment, personality assessment, and forensic neuropsychology.  I also supervise dissertations focused upon the validity of projective personality assessment, psychodynamic theory, neuropsychological assessment, and forensic psychology. 

My clinical interests primarily focus on psychodynamic theory, integration of therapeutic modalities, and treatment of anxiety/depression.  I also have experience with a range of psychological assessments, including psychodiagnostic, psychoeducational,, ADHD, forensic, neuropsychological, and personality.
