Psychologist

Imagine feeling clear, confident, and in control of your next steps. I work with people navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Even when things look “on track” externally, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about what’s next. I seek to empower clients as they explore, express and honor their truth. As the Clinical Director of Georgetown University’s Counseling Center, I bring extensive experience helping clients gain clarity, manage anxiety and depression, and make more intentional decisions about their lives.
