It is important to me to be of service in ways that make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in non-profit and healthcare sectors. For six years, I served as an associate pastor, primarly focused on work with teens and on pastoral care. Following advanced clinical training at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center and with Johns Hopkins Hospital, I worked as part of an interdisciplinary team in palliative and hospice care. For nine years, I visited patients and families at home, in the midst of patients' final days, weeks, and months. I provided bereavement support for losses, both ones foreseen and others, complex. In addition to my masters degree in counseling, I have advanced training and experience in psychoanalytic theory and practice. I am an advanced candidate of the Washington Baltimore Psychoanalytic Institute. I have been in private practice for ten years.
