About

I am a Licensed Psychologist in the Commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia. As of mid-2021, I practiced under the Pennsylvania license for the past 15 years in various settings that included inpatient psychiatric emergency hospital, outpatient patient group practices, as well as forensic settings. Prior to obtaining my license to practice psychology, I was a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

My therapeutic modality is an experiential dynamic psychotherapy that is based on modifications to traditional psychoanalytic theory. Specifically, such an approach combines elements of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (I-STDP) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). Experiential dynamic psychotherapy as a whole is an empirically tested model of therapy. It is designed to produce rapid symptom reduction secondary to: aiding an individual in identifying, exploring and processing one’s complex feelings towards people and events in one’s life (both past and present); managing one’s defenses; as well as regulating one’s anxiety. Through such an approach, my experience has been that people tend to feel better, make better decisions for themselves, have improved interpersonal interactions and have an improved overall sense of self.
