Welcome!
I am a spiritually–oriented licensed clinical psychologist with experience in community, university, nonprofit, residential, international and private practice settings. My practice is located in the heart of downtown Washington, DC, near several metro lines. While I work with a wide range of issues, my clinical specialties include life transitions and spirituality, cross-cultural dynamics, mind-body wellness, adolescence and young adulthood, gender identity and sexuality, addiction recovery, depression and anxiety, trauma and EMDR, career exploration, and community mental health. I have a long-term commitment to the mentorship (supervising, mentoring and teaching) of graduate students, early career therapists and nonprofit agency staff. I am passionate about integrative areas of inquiry, and it is my intention to synthesize experiential and academic learning in my writing projects and presentations.
My degree specialization in multiculturalism has deeply acquainted me with human reactions to "difference" as well as to the universal aspects of human experience. It has led me to explore our country's unique relationship with diversity and to examine the types of interactions that best facilitate cross-cultural understanding. My interest has exposed me to an incredibly wide range of life experiences both domestically and abroad. I've been actively engaged in international nonprofit development, consultation and youth work; and I have a longstanding affinity for African and African American cultural arts and community. My thirst for cultural immersion has led me on international travel excursions including an almost year-long "off the grid" adventure in India and Africa.
I have profound respect for the power of movement, energy work and indigenous approaches to healing. Alternative healing methods I have studied include shamanism, trance dance, Qi Gong, hypnotherapy and yoga. I received my RYT 200 Sattva Yoga Teacher Training Certification in June, 2014, and completed the Sattva Yoga Masters Teacher Training in November, 2016 -- both in India. I teach classes regularly in Washington, DC.
