I am a licensed psychologist, co-founder and director of the Anxiety Treatment Center of Maryland, and part-time Assistant Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Medicine. I specialize in treating and preventing all forms of anxiety, depression, and related problems in children, adolescents, and adults using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

When meeting new clients, I am excited to hear their stories and join them on their journey.

Life can make you feel overwhelmed and disconnected from the most authentic version of yourself. It might feel like you're getting pulled in too many directions and none of them even feel like you. Deep down, I believe we are all looking for connection and understanding. Seeking therapy can help you begin making the changes needed to live life on your terms. I believe every person is the ultimate expert in themselves and that therapy is a powerful opportunity to explore a new sense of self, identify values, and heal. If you feel stuck, there's hope. Let's start the journey now, the best it yet to come.

You have probably tried therapy before, but you're still hurting. You still feel stuck. I work differently than traditional therapists - using Evidence Based Psychotherapies - treatments proven to work by research. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are based in brain science. We can retrain your brain. We can work to build new coping skills and a different approach to emotional pain. Research shows these therapies work to help people like you feel more calm and connected to their lives. You can feel better. You can live better!

Seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, and I am here to help. I specialize in a wide range of mental health issues and provide you with the holistic support and guidance you need to recover. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your feelings and work toward healing and growth. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions to help you achieve your goals.

I am here to offer professional, supported, guided and solution-focused insight into life's many challenges. Through a variety of therapeutic approaches, I can help you with parenting, depression, anxiety, pre-marital and marital issues, as well as many other of life's obstacles. I am very empathetic, but I will also challenge you as appropriate. After all, I want you to be your best self.

Difficult feelings can be a doorway for personal growth. Living in modern society with it's many stressors, it is easy to lose connection with what gives us fulfillment. Relationships may fall apart, anxiety may plague us more hours than not, or we may just feel " stuck" and not living up to our full potential. Therapy can help. Although taking the first step to enter therapy can be anxiety provoking, the inner rewards of the experience can be well worth it.
