I am a licensed clinical psychologis t  (Virginia license #0810008823) specializing in child therapy, parent support, and group therapy for parents and children. In early 2026, I will begin offering psychological testing for individuals of all ages, including students in elementary school through college.

 

My extensive training in developmental and clinical psychology provides me with a broad understanding of children’s growth and challenges. As a developmental psychologist, I worked as a university professor for over a decade, teaching classes on child development and managing a research lab focused on children and media, with an emphasis on parent-child interaction. Observations of hundreds of parents and young children solidified my belief in the importance of early relationships with caregivers and inspired me to pursue a clinical degree in order to work directly with children and families. As a therapist, I am passionate about helping families build strong connections and develop skills to promote positive growth.
