I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from the esteemed University of Pittsburgh, complemented by a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the same institution. Currently, I am in the final stages of completing my Doctoral Program for EdD, specializing in special Education. My professional qualifications include being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) certified by the State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Professional Counselors.

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

In our therapeutic journey, I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. Clients can also expect a therapeutic process that is collaborative, flexible, and tailored to their individual needs and preferences. I strive to create a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and respect, where clients feel empowered to actively participate in their healing journey.

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

I believe my greatest strength as a provider is my ability to create a deeply empathetic, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic environment. My educational background in social work, psychology, and special education, combined with my licensure as a clinical social worker, allows me to approach each client with a comprehensive understanding of both mental health and learning needs. I excel at building strong therapeutic alliances, where clients feel truly heard, respected, and empowered. This strength enables me to tailor my approach to each individual's unique circumstances, fostering a safe space for healing and growth.
