Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Philadelphia. I received my masters degree from Thomas Jefferson University (formally Philadelphia University) and have been practicing for 8 years. I work with individuals of all ages with primary focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. However, I am a firm believer that everyone benefits from therapy- even if nothing feels "wrong". Sometimes we just need someone to actively listen, validate feelings, and provide a safe space and that is what I am here to do.

My style of therapy is very laid back, as I believe comfort is the most important part of the therapy process. In order to discuss difficult topics or begin to work towards goals, there has to be a strong therapeutic relationship. I begin to build this relationship by getting to know my client's personalities, family structure, work life, friendships, etc. Once I get to know you, I can better understand patterns, coping skills, and/or emotions that may be occurring in response to stressors. I also am very client-centered and will tailor the therapy process around what is best for each client. Everyone is different and that means that therapy will look different for each person.

In our first session together, I like to focus on getting to know each other. I like to hear about what your life currently looks like and your daily routines. We will also discuss what the therapy process may look like in order to address expectations (on both ends) and decrease any potential anxiety about therapy that may be present.
