Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression.

My primary focus has been working with children ages 3–10 in home-based settings and adolescents ages 11–14 in school-based settings. This experience has given me a unique understanding of how a child’s home and school environments work together, allowing me to take a holistic approach that supports the whole child and promotes healthy development and long-term success.

My approach to therapy

I am passionate about helping children and adolescents develop the emotional tools, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive as they grow into young adults. I strive to create a supportive, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where clients and families feel heard, empowered, and supported throughout their journey.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to provide a positive experience in where you can learn coping strategies and build on strengths.
