Penny is a mental health provider with over a decade of experience  supporting children, adolescents, adults, and the military community. 

​

Inspired by her grandfather, who measured Albert Einstein's brainwaves in the 1950s, Penny developed a lifelong interest in the complexities of the human brain and a passion for helping people harness their capacity for growth. Her journey led her to earn a baccalaureate degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, serve in the United States Marine Corps, and complete a Master’s degree at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

​

A Marine Corps veteran, Penny has contributed to suicide-related research at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences through the Henry Jackson Foundation and has provided expertise in suicide prevention for the Marine Corps. 

​

​Her clinical work focuses on supporting adolescents and adults experiencing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, grief and loss, life transitions, domestic abuse, and other adverse life experiences. She works from a person-centered and psychodynamic foundation, grounded in collaboration, while integrating evidence-based interventions tailored to each client’s unique needs.

​

Penny provides therapy in both English and Spanish and is committed to creating a compassionate, empathetic, culturally responsive, and supportive environment for personal growth.
