I am a licensed psychologist in private practice in Bethesda, Maryland since 2002. My degrees include Ph.D., and M.A., in clinical psychology from the University of Rochester, and B.A. in child study from Tufts University.
I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in college mental health at the Harvard University Health Service, in Cambridge, MA. My predoctoral internship was at Harvard Medical School/ Massachusetts Mental Health Center, in Boston. Early on, I trained at the Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Rochester.
I have worked at the George Washington University Counseling Center, and for Arlington County Department of Human Services. I have supervised the psychotherapy of psychology graduate students at George Washington University and have taught workshops on the treatment of eating disorders and self-harm behavior to psychotherapy interns at American University and Catholic University.
Currently I run an educational and therapeutic program which brings together multidisciplinary experts to address the Menopause life transition. I also offer professional consultation and presentations on the topic of “Practice Executor and Profession Wills: Compassionately and ethically caring for your patients when you are no longer able” and I have published on this issue.
I also am the founder of TheraClosure (www.theraclosure.com). TheraClosure helps therapists create a tailored Professional Will, and serves as therapists’ Practice Executor.
Other interests include reading, traveling, cooking, and spending time outdoors with family and friends.
