Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Training and Credentials

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology in October of 1993 from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Since 1995, I have been self-employed in private practice. My training as a clinical psychologist in the field of psychology and mental health treatment dates back 35 years.

A partial list of my early training would include:

  • Crisis counselor and special education teacher in Boston, MA.

  • Psychology staff intern at the veterans hospital in Washington.

  • School psychologist in Alexandria, Virginia and Washington, DC.

  • Consultant to G.E.D. Testing Services in Washington, DC

  • Diagnostician/Consultant to the District of Columbia State Adult Basic Education Office

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in the Dupont Circle section of Washington, D.C. since 1995. As a District of Columbia Licensed Psychologist (#1804) I am able to provide therapy services to clients and provide them with ‘third party’ reimbursable documentation to submit to their insurance carrier. Through obtaining and maintaining my professional license, I demonstrate to my clients that I have received (and continue to receive) a high degree of training and education. In order to maintain my status as a licensed psychologist in the District, I am required by law to earn Continuing Education Credits through various programs of study, two of which must include an Ethics Course and a Cultural Competence Course. Over the past 20 years, I have had extensive training, supervision, and education to hone my craft and art as a therapist. I routinely spend about three weeks a year in deeply personal training well beyond the minimal hours set by the licensing board of my District. I do so with dual intention of working more effectively with those whom I see in psychotherapy as well as to continue my own development and maturation.
