(she/her)
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Philadelphia. I have experience working with adults in an inpatient and outpatient setting for individual and groups. I utilize CBT, DBT, mindfulness, solution focused, and narrative therapies. My treatment focus includes depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse use disorders. I especially enjoy working with women who can benefit from additional support to cope with daily health needs, self-worth, relationship issues and building on their community resources.
In our first session I would provide you the space to share who you are and what you are looking for in therapy. We will work together to create a treatment plan that best addresses your needs. I would also take the time to start building a rapport and getting to know more about who you are as an individual.
I have over 15 years of working in behavioral health fields and I found that treatment needs are individualized. I am great at providing a calm, confidential, respectful, supportive, and therapeutic environment for my clients.
There are times when our world seems overwhelming, and we could benefit from contact in a judgment free and therapeutic environment. Regardless of the stressors that could be contributing to anxiety, depression, lack of motivate, reduced self-worth, or grief; it's important to be heard. My goal will be to work collaboratively with you to help you learn how to dance through these storms.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilized CBT therapy to help clients identify and understand unhealthy and unhelpful ways of thinking. It is easy to get wrapped up in racing thoughts and self-blaming activities associated with depression and anxiety. I acknowledged that not all clients understand where these negative thoughts come from. We will work together to gain a better understanding of those thoughts and how to build a better sense of self.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I assist client with learning grounding techniques that can be utilized outside of therapy. Mindfulness skills are also utilized to help client gain a greater sense of self. Understanding our greatest strengths are found within ourselves is important when I work with clients.
Strength-Based
We all have strengths but at times it can be difficult to acknowledge or utilize. I assist client with recognizing their strengths, how they used them in the past and how we continue to build on strengths. Building of self-worth is important aspect of working with clients. It is also important to utilize self-affirming language. It is important to me that clients understand they are the experts in their story.

I love the way we connect and she helps me feel heard and understood. She also challenges me to find the solutions to my issues and do more self exploration. I can see the benefits in the small changes I'm making everyday.

She doesn't sugar coat anything and she is very direct with me. And the relationship I have with her is amazing. I was very sad when I lost her because of insurance change.I have her back and she shows so much care and compassion.
