I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Philadelphia, PA. I have 8 years of experience working in mental health and addiction with folks with PTSD, bipolar I and II, depression, and anxiety who struggle with substance abuse disorders. I view addiction as a symptom of a deeper issue, and can assist with providing tools for growing and learning to manage these types of challenges. I maintain an empathetic, and compassion driven approach that is non-judgmental. I look forward to getting to you know you providing a non-judgmental space for exploring these issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is focused on getting to know each other, building trust, and discussing what you want to achieve in therapy be learning your needs, desires, and goals in a setting that is non-judgmental.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've been told by folks that I have worked with is that they feel comfortable fairly quickly and that I provide a safe and comfortable space to share and open up about challenges leaving folks with more greater insight where growth is obtainable.

Psychodynamic
Gaining insight on your relationships between yourself and others, and the outside world, and helping folks to understand these relationships can assist with moving past feeling "stuck" in life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Understanding that thoughts can influence behaviors, and exploring how our beliefs and thought processes can impact our lives can be helpful to better understanding ourselves which can eventually lead to change. Mindfulness can be a useful tool to being able to accept our emotions as they are rather than "good" or "bad".
