I work with adults to help them manage anxiety, depression, stress, and cognitive challenges. I enjoy working collaboratively with people to help them strengthen their cognitive skills and promote positive changes in their lives. I am a psychologist leading the Maryland branch of the Centers for Cognitive Wellness (CCW). Founded by Sherrie All, PhD in 2012, CCW has been helping people with cognitive issues such as Concussion & Moderate TBI, ADHD, Mild Cognitive Impairment/Early Dementia, and other types of neurological conditions navigate life challenges, build resilience, and implement cognitive rehabilitation interventions.
Prior to joining the Centers for Cognitive Wellness, I enjoyed a career in clinical research studying cognition and brain health in people with mental health conditions in the Veterans Healthcare System. I offer psychotherapy informed by a deep understanding of the emotional and social impact of cognitive issues on one’s relationships and daily functioning.
I have a warm, collaborative approach to providing psychotherapy and cognitive rehabilitation. My therapeutic approach is eclectic drawing on evidenced-based treatments to meet the unique needs of each client.
