I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 2 years of experience supporting individuals managing anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), trauma, grief, and autism spectrum challenges in individual and group settings, as well as 8 years in the behavioral health field. I also have experience working with families seeking psychoeducation and support while navigating a family member's autism spectrum diagnosis.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, you're transitioning out of a higher level of care, or you're somewhere in between, my goal is to help you experience relief from your symptoms and get back to living life on your terms. I work with teenagers (13+) and adults and specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience in treating PTSD and OCD and understand the importance of providing trauma-informed care. Regardless of your diagnosis, I believe that it's important to tailor each person's treatment to their specific needs. As part of my treatment approach, I believe that each session is an opportunity for you to develop a deeper awareness of the self, uncover patterns, learn to build tolerance for uncomfortable emotions, and strengthen self-compassion. I also provide art therapy, which allows you to express emotions and process experiences that may be difficult to speak about. I have seen first-hand how both talk therapy and art therapy can encourage growth and support an increase in self-awareness and mindfulness. I look forward to the opportunity to help you or your child gain support and learn skills that will be beneficial for years to come!

My goal is to provide counseling, psychotherapy and treatment for individuals, couples and families struggling with a variety of psychological and mental health issues including stress, relationships, marital problems, depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol, eating disorders, learning disability attention problems etc... As the Coordinator of Campus Alcohol and Substance Awareness at Temple University and as the past Assistant Director of Student Health and Counseling at The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia I have a lot of experience working with clients facing all the above issues and more. I believe that counseling is a collaborative process where clients sort out their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of who they are. My approach is eclectic or integrative but I use many psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my work. I trust that clients know deep down what should be talked about in therapy and that they mostly need help knowing how to access these thoughts and feelings in order to realize what it is they want and need from others and their lives. I am very open to sharing my personal thoughts and experiences as a way of helping others. I find that it often helps patients to know that their therapist is a human being too and much can be learned from the relationship of therapy. Many clients come to a therapists office because they struggling in their relationships. Paying attention to how your relationship develops with your therapist can help you understand how the really important relationships in your life outside of the therapeutic relationship work.

People don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy; oftentimes, those who contact me are managing feelings that have been building up over time. I have niche experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees and directed a new program at UNMC aimed at understanding burnout. I enjoy working with college and graduate students, international students, and did this at counseling centers like MIT. I especially like working with adults in general, and new parents. I completed my APA internship and postdoc in the Penn System where I saw a variety of people living with a range of feelings. I believe that addressing feelings and understanding where they stem from, and how to manage them, can help people navigate life's challenges in relationships, work, school, and beyond. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, emotionally rich and confidential environment for individuals to explore what's on their mind. Collaborating on other areas of your life that you may want to examine, such as your relationships with others (romantic, friendship, personal, professional) is something I find joy in. I look forward to meeting you and potentially working together to uncover not just what might be holding you back or keeping you up at night, but your strengths as well.

I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting, and view therapy as a holistic process, striving to provide a warm, empathic, and accepting atmosphere, to support clients who are committed to making lasting change. I am Licensed Professional Counselor, and have extensive clinical experience working with individuals and couples struggling with relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and questions of identity. I am passionate about helping couples and individuals grow and thrive, improving communication, working through trauma, and identifying and achieving goals. I received my Master of Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2011, and since then have undergone continued training specializing in trauma-informed approaches. I am a Gottman Method Level 1 trained therapist. I operate from a trauma-informed perspective recognizing that many people have had or currently experience trauma. I understand the need for emotional safety and trustworthiness in a therapist and work with clients to regain a sense of empowerment in their lives. My style is eclectic, but my work is trauma informed, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients stop fighting against the pain of their past, and build rich and meaningful lives. For couples work, I pull strongly from the Gottman Method. I strongly believe that every person holds the capacity for growth, and can benefit from a trusting and supportive therapist to help them acknowledge and ignite that ability within themselves. I consider the client as the expert in their life and trust that a positive client and therapist relationship is key to facilitating change. Through a safe and professional relationship, the therapist can help the client deeply examine their life, and identify areas for change. Utilizing individualized treatment plans, I help clients develop goals tailored to their specific needs, and identify coping and management strategies to help clients regain a sense of control in life.

I believe that successful therapy begins with a genuine human connection. My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I want to understand who you are, what you're experiencing, and what you hope to change. Just as importantly, I want to help you recognize the strengths and abilities you may not realize you already possess. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship and marital difficulties, low self-esteem, and the challenges that life inevitably brings. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while developing practical ways to create meaningful and lasting change. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, and person-centered counseling. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person brings a different history, personality, and set of circumstances to therapy, and our work should reflect that. I also believe that seeking therapy doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming. Sometimes relationships become complicated. And sometimes we simply recognize that we'd like to feel better, understand ourselves more fully, or approach life differently. Therapy offers an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life, gain perspective, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity. And one more thing: therapy doesn't always have to be serious. While there is certainly room for difficult conversations and painful emotions, I believe laughter, humor, and genuine connection are equally important parts of the therapeutic process. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel understood. Above all, I want therapy to be a place where you feel supported, challenged when appropriate, and encouraged to make the changes that matter most to you.
