I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been the owner of K2 Psych Services since 2021. My work is dedicated exclusively to psychological and psychoeducational assessments for children, teens, and adults. I bring extensive training in pediatric psychology, child and adolescent development, assessment, and multidisciplinary care to every evaluation, ensuring that clients and families receive thoughtful, comprehensive support.

My passion lies in helping families gain clarity about learning differences, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, mood and anxiety challenges, and executive functioning difficulties. I offer strengths-based, client-focused assessments designed to provide clear diagnostic answers and actionable recommendations for academic or workplace accommodations. I believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with parents, caregivers, and school teams so that the assessment process is supportive and the results are meaningful.

I understand how stressful and uncertain it can be when you’re searching for answers or support for your child or yourself. My goal is to empower you with the information and resources you need to confidently advocate for your child or yourself, and to access the tools and accommodations that will help you thrive.

Currently, I work full-time as a pediatric psychologist at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital (MWPH) in Baltimore, MD. Within this role, I have had the privilege of creating and coordinating the Trauma and Healing Program at MWPH. The program offers comprehensive psychological evaluation, intervention, consultation, and community-based services for children and families who have experienced trauma.

My expertise lies in the field of trauma-focused services, where I am trained in evidence-based treatments such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Attachment-Regulation and Competency (ARC), the Chicago Parenting Program (CPP), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), among others.

I also serve a 4-year term through the Mayor’s Office for Children and Family Success on the Baltimore City Trauma-Informed Care Task Force, which is the first in the nation to legislate trauma-informed care. On this task force, I serve as the co-chair of the subcommittee to address trauma-informed care across medical institutions in Baltimore.
