I am a Pennsylvania and Rhode Island Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and received my Masters of Social Work from West Chester University, specializing in integrated care for medically vulnerable populations. I have worked in a variety of settings, including children and youth crisis intervention, mental health counseling, and LGBTQ+ specific behavioral health services.
I prioritize creating a non-judgmental and supportive environment. I approach with sensitivity to the ways trauma can manifest, recognizing the importance of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. I work collaboratively with clients, emphasizing a partnership where their insights and experiences guide the process. I have specialized training in working with LGBTQ+ clients, addressing issues such as identity exploration, transitioning, and social dynamics.
Clients can expect a welcoming, affirming, and non-judgmental space where they can be their authentic selves. My approach as a queer and trans therapist is rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect for each individual's unique identity and experiences. Overall, clients can expect a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and a deep commitment to their wellbeing and growth. My goal is to support clients in becoming their most authentic selves and leading fulfilling, empowered lives.
