Potomac CBT Center

For referring providers

A structured CBT practice for your patients who are ready for therapy.

I work with adults managing anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, depression, PTSD, and insomnia. My approach is evidence-based, goal-directed, and designed for high-functioning patients who want to understand what’s happening and make measurable progress. I coordinate well with prescribers and am happy to collaborate on treatment when appropriate.

A message for you

Medication gives you a foundation.
Therapy helps you build on it.

Medication and therapy work differently. Medication manages symptoms. Therapy helps you understand patterns, build skills, and make changes that last. Many people find the combination more effective than either alone.
