I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) serving individuals in Pennsylvania. I have a master degree in social work. I have worked with individuals from age 17 to 65 years old specializing in addiction and mental health treatment. I have 8 years experience working with individuals on all levels of care. I aim to provide individualized trauma informed care to those seeking help to overcome individual barriers.

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

In our first session together, I like to provide time for simple question and answer where we can begin to build rapport and explore what therapy will be like and whether it is a good fit. The success of therapy is reliant on a healthy therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.

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

Having worked in various areas of the field, I have a multitude of experience and tailor to the needs of treatment planning on an individual basis. I lean heavily on working toward treating the whole person and not just the symptom and addressing problems at their core. I believe everyone is unique and strive to support clients on their own personal journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

As your therapist, I will validate your feelings and encourage you to work toward your goals by identifying personal strengths and minimizing negative thinking habits. I utilize CBT strategies by helping you to re-frame your perspective on difficult situations, help you to set healthy boundaries and put yourself first. I find most clients don’t feel they deserve to lead happy, healthy lives. Please join me as we embark on this new journey together and learn to love life again.
