I am licensed as a clinical social worker in DC, Maryland and Virginia, enabling me to work with clients throughout the DMV. I provide a variety of separation and divorce services as well psychotherapy.

In the separation and divorce arena, I serve as a parent coordinator, mediator and divorce coach.  Before becoming a therapist, I practiced law, holding positions in the federal government, a Fortune 500 company and an Am Law 100 firm. I am drawn to the Collaborative model over litigation because of its emphasis on client involvement to create durable outcomes.

In my therapy practice, my focus is to help clients identify and make meaningful changes and improve their lives. I work primarily with older adolescents and adults. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is a key ingredient for meaningful change. My style is transparent and direct, and I find humor can play an important role in the therapeutic process. My primary approach to psychotherapy is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based model supported by decades of research. ACT helps you learn how to live and enjoy the moment, to let go of thoughts that don’t serve you, to find the courage to face pain and act to create a better life for yourself. also incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) into my work.
