'As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a certified trauma and ADHD professional with over three decades of experience. I have dedicated my career to addressing and healing the effects of trauma and harm. My focus is on the inner world of children, adolescents, couples, and families, where I see my role as a healer, understanding and addressing mental processes and psychobiological reactions that manifest as anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

My therapy approach is relational. I strive to be genuine and supportive in a collaborative and nonjudgmental environment. My clinical training was at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia and the Princeton Center, where I worked with Bowen's System Theory. I often use creative ways to enhance areas of conflict, including guided meditation.

I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.

Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.

As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

We strive to make a lifetime commitment to practice multicultural counseling, psychotherapy, and coaching and support individuals with complex problems/histories of non-compliance with treatment and inability or unwillingness to participate in treatment. We specialize in integrating helping processes utilizing holistic approaches.

I have been working in the counseling field since 2011 when I graduated with my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I have received a Post-Masters certificate in Trauma Studies and underwent clinical supervision in Psychodynamic Therapy. Furthermore, I obtained a certification in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques and received training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
