About

I am a pediatric psychologist who is passionate about working with you and your child to help overcome different stressors together. Over the past 8 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and young adults to address difficulties associated with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, and parent/child conflict. I also provide psycho-educational assessment and evaluation services and a detailed report with all my recommendations. I am trained as a health psychologist, so I particularly enjoy working with children who have chronic illnesses to help them live full, rich, and meaningful lives. I have been fortunate enough to have trained at some of the best hospitals in the world, including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the National Institutes of Health. Today, I work as a psychologist at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, and I am thrilled to be the founder and director of CAYA Care. I am passionate about providing your family with the best care I can possibly give. I will work with you and your child to identify your top concerns, goals for therapy, choose the best treatment option, and evaluate treatment progress. I try to understand and validate what your children are going through, and together, as a team, build a toolbox of evidence-based strategies to help them thrive.
