Philosophy: Live life with great possibilities! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in Maryland and a retired school psychologist in the District of Columbia. Served as an adjunct professor in the Psychology and Counseling Department at the University of the District of Columbia. Worked as a clinical psychologist with addictions, mood and anxiety disorders, and behavioral stress reduction at both outpatient and inpatient Military Treatment Facilities. My clinical expertise includes clinical, psycho-educational, and comprehensive evaluations, the treatment of child and adolescent behavioral problems, and BE Mindful Therapy.
I have a history delivering psychological services to children (ages 6 to 12), adolescents, adults, military, and geriatric clients, at various settings including nursing homes, hospitals, universities, public and charter schools, youth correctional facilities, and military treatment facilities (MTF).
Postdoctoral M.S. in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Ph.D. and M.S. in Clinical Psychology from Howard University, and undergraduate B.A. degree in psychology from Clark Atlanta University. My APA-accredited Clinical Psychology Internship was from Children's Hospital National Medical Center.
