I'm Not Here to Just Nod and Ask How That Makes You Feel.
The science matters. So does the person behind the diagnosis.
I provide research-informed psychotherapy for individuals navigating bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, borderline personality disorder, and trauma.
I'm not a therapist who simply nods along. I listen, ask questions, challenge you when it's helpful, and believe there's room for humor—even when life feels difficult.
SPECIALIZATIONS
Evidence Based Treatment
Are you having difficulties adjusting to life with a mental health disorder or struggling to make sense of a traumatic experience? I can help.
01
Bipolar Disorder & Mood Disorders
I am one of a few clinicians in the U.S. trained in Family-Focused Therapy (FFT) and Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for Bipolar Disorder.
02
Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective Disorder
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBT-P), which helps individuals navigate psychotic symptoms with greater understanding, stability, and hope.
03
Borderline Personality Disorder
Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help individuals develop practical skills to regulate emotions, improve relationships, tolerate distress, and create a life that feels more stable and fulfilling.
04
Trauma & PTSD
Together, we'll work to process painful experiences, foster healing, and help you move forward using evidence-based approaches such as EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
05
Anxiety & Depression
I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals better understand their thoughts and emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and overcome the challenges associated with anxiety and depression.
06
Insurance & Accessibility
I believe quality mental health care should be accessible. I accept Maryland Medicaid, Medicare, Aetna, CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tricare, Optum, Cigna, Kaiser, Ascension (SmartHealth), Carelon Behavioral Health, and UnitedHealthcare. I also offer sliding-scale options to help make therapy more affordable and accessible for those in need.
