Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 7 years of professional work experience in mental health. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology as well as a masters in Social work. I have worked with men and women in out patient mental health for about 3 years now. I am very passionate about reproductive mental health and have worked with women of all ages to support them through infertility, fetal loss as well as postpartum depression and anxiety.

My approach to therapy

I take a person centered approach to therapy and provide a balance of listening and providing feedback according to your style. I find it effective to use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy to identify problematic thought patterns and work on changing targeted behaviors.

What you can expect from me

I like to start with establishing trust as it is important to effect positive change. We will then collaborate to identify areas of interest to improve on and set realistic goals to guide the process. I will work at a pace that is comfortable for you to make sure you leave every session feeling empowered to take charge of your life.
