Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University and All but Dissertation (ABD) status in the Clinical Doctorate of Social Work program at the University of Pennsylvania. With more than 20 years of clinical experience, I bring extensive expertise in the assessment and treatment of individuals experiencing ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, developmental disorders, substance use, and trauma-related concerns. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and hold certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT).

My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based, individualized interventions, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am also trained in Social Thinking, Unstuck and On Target, and the PEERS curriculum. My areas of clinical expertise include supporting individuals in developing emotional regulation, cognitive and behavioral flexibility, executive functioning, and social-pragmatic skills. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, judgement free therapy space.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a person centered, relational, humanistic approach to therapy that focuses on understanding a person in their whole environment—what has life been like that led you to this moment, and what can be changed to help you move forward?

What you can expect from me

I intentionally create a therapeutic space that feels safe, warm, inviting and free of judgement. Show up as you are!
