Great to meet you!

I am glad you are here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy over telehealth in Pennsylvania. I have over 18 years of experience providing mental health care to people of all ages. For the last 11 years, I have specialized in serving adult women across multiple levels of care including outpatient, intensive outpatient programming, and partial hospitalization programming, In my years of experience I have seen countless woman make profound changes in their lives with the support of other women cheering them on.

My approach to therapy

Change happens when people feel safe, supported, and seen in the therapy relationship. My goal is to offer a warm, supportive, and compassionate environment where we can identify your goals and find the best way to achieve them together as a team.

In terms of my more formal therapy training my masters program was focused on psychodynamic therapy training. Throughout my career I have received additional training in CBT, DBT, trauma informed care, group therapy, family therapy, and a specialized certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

What you can expect from me

Choosing to start therapy can be a vulnerable process. My goal in the first session is to get to know you in a way that feels compassionate and safe. By the end of the first session we will determine a general treatment plan to obtain your goals.
