(she/her)
Hello! I am an LCSW in Philadelphia and have been in practice for more than 15 years as a therapist and educator. I enjoy working with adults who are wanting to make changes in their lives, particularly with regard to relationships. I build trusting, secure relationships with my clients within which they can explore the shifts that they want to make in their lives.
In our first session I will spend time asking about your life and hearing from you about your background in a fairly comprehensive way, as well as focusing on what is bringing you to therapy now and how our work together might be able to help.
I have experience working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and value systems, and am very open to understanding and working within my clients' worldviews.
I enjoy working with adults who have reached a point of motivation for change. My clients benefit from having a safe place to be reflective and share about their concerns without judgment. We work together to think about their values, goals and abilities and work from there to move forward.
Relational
This practice means that we focus on building a safe, trusting relationship together and may reflect on our relationship directly in our work.
Narrative
This practice means that we will explore the stories of your life and experience, and whether and how those stories might shift to better serve you.
