With the proper support and guidance, therapy helps you cultivate your strengths, regain control, learn ways to overcome challenges, enrich your life, and take steps toward a more fulfilling future. I can help you identify patterns in your life so that you can develop a clearer understanding of your life experiences and create more positive relationships and productive behavior change. I take an active and empathetic approach to psychotherapy by establishing mutually agreed upon therapeutic goals with my clients and providing a comfortable space to explore, discuss, and be heard.


My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, life transitions, disordered eating, and interpersonal and relationship difficulties. My therapy style combines psychodynamic, CBT and DBT therapies based on the specific needs of each client.


If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're simply ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.

I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.

Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.

I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.
