Great to meet you!

Hello, I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a history of over 20 years working with individuals, couples and families. Graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and have benefited from working in healthcare, substance recovery, community based programs and private practice.

I am committed to fostering positive change and growth in the lives of those I have the pleasure to support in the pursuit of living their best life.

My approach to therapy

Together we will implement a variety of evidence-based therapies to achieve your goals and improve your emotional/mental well-being. I specialize in work/life balance, life transitions, relationships, dependency, depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic pain, PTSD and related medical conditions.

What you can expect from me
