I know that choosing a therapist is a difficult decision, so I hope the following information will help you.  I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience.  My areas of expertise are with trauma and couples, although I work with all issues.  I have worked with law enforcement, firefighters, and the military.  I have a master's degree from the Catholic University of America and my doctorate is from the George Washington University, both in Washington, DC.  I have also worked for many years in community crisis response.
