I have been a counselor for over 14 years, specializing in treating trauma, PTSD, and attachment wounding. I am trained in EMDR and DNMS. My training and experience helping people heal from attachment wounds as well as big and little traumas guide my overall treatment for struggles with depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, OCD symptoms, addictions and difficulties in relationships. I help people recover from common adult traumas of greif, being betrayed, being blind-sided, and even church trauma. Through DNMS I now offer healing from childhood wounding from having an overly critical, controlling, or an emotionally distant caregiver. I am grateful for many of my trainings which are guided by all that is being learned about emotional health through neuroscience, and provide very practical and interactive therapy treatment methods.

Tired of reading bios? I would be too, so I'll keep it short: I graduated from UPenn 10+ years ago with a Master's in Social Work. I have experience working in almost every setting you could imagine. I specialize in making people feel comfortable, safe, and validated. I specialize in treating my clients like they matter, are important & are worthy, no matter what they look like, sound like, or "seem" like. I'm also an expert in being a real human being and not a robot with automated responses who will "mhmm" you to death. My "approach" is understanding that I can't expect you to expose the deepest, darkest, most vulnerable parts of yourself to me if I remain a complete stranger to you. In our sessions, I want you to feel like you're with one of your best friends who you can trust, laugh and ugly-cry with. My only goal is to make you feel like you're not alone. Like you have someone in your corner who will fight for you, laugh with you, curse with you, and ugly-cry with you (I'm totally kidding, kinda, that part's negotiable).

Do you feel lost on your path? Our life's journey is not always as clear as we would like it to be. We find ourselves in doubt and unsure - sometimes about work or family life or our romantic relationships. As we hurry through life fulfilling multiple roles, we can lose touch with our authentic Self and symptoms of depression may appear. Valleys are a natural part of everyone's life but you do not need to suffer through these alone. I will be here for you, to listen and give you the safe space to figure things out. It is often in the hard times that we grow the most. I am here for you.

Occasionally life challenges meet us at a particularly vulnerable time, and I work with people to adjust to such life changes: grief, job loss, those impacted by the addiction of their loved one , and the alcoholic and drug dependent person. I'm an artist and a trained art therapist. I found, art making often speaks with more feeling and force than words alone. We will incorporate art if you choose. CBT works in a collaborative manner between the therapist and the client. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance.
