Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Pennsylvania. I have a doctorate in clinical psychology, a master’s degree in clinical psychology, and an undergraduate degree in clinical/counseling psychology. I have been practicing for 10+ years at a variety of settings including community mental health, partial hospital, residential treatment, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and private schools. Therapy is not one size fits all, and therefore I take an integrative approach designed to suit the needs of the unique individual, drawing from trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral, client-centered, and solution-focused techniques to meet your needs. I also enjoy incorporating creative techniques and mindfulness into my therapy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you can anticipate a warm and welcoming environment where we'll get to know each other. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, explore your goals, and establish a collaborative plan to ensure our future sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs and objectives.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a psychologist, my greatest strengths lie in creating a safe and empathetic space for your exploration, utilizing evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs, and fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship aimed at empowering you to navigate challenges and achieve your goals. Anyone can find themselves in therapy at one time or another. Seeking mental health services is not a weakness or something to feel ashamed of but is, in fact, a healthy thing. I feel privileged that I can help someone when they are going through the worst times in their life, identify the root of a problem that has been plaguing them for years, and collaborate in finding solutions. I look forward to meeting you and helping you begin to take the first steps toward improving your life.
