About My Clients

I'm ready to meet you where you're at, provide sensible tools for improvement, and help you find the strength to achieve your goals. Whether it's helping to work through past traumas, current difficulties or barriers to future hopes, I offer a safe space to explore and overcome your challenges. I can also serve as a 'relationship referee' when a neutral and additional ear may be needed. I will serve as a sounding board to get things off of your chest and assist in finding resolutions.

My Background and Approach

I’ve served as a Child and Family Social Worker in the City of Philadelphia for the majority of my career and have a profound understanding of individuals who have experienced trauma. I am solution-focused and my experience has taught me that that there is always a resolution, no matter how intimidating the issue may appear. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma Informed Therapy. With all of the above mentioned in mind, my experience working with trauma and elements that seem to be unfair in life are areas that I thrive in helping others work through. Additionally, I offer a Covid-19 Wellness Assessment so you can check on and speak through specific Covid-19 related concerns (i.e. anxiety, depression, relationship issues and overwhelming feelings). This illness has changed EVERYONE’S lives in one way or another. Everyone should want to check in with themselves.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the potential to grow at any time in their lives when they become brave enough to be willing to walk into a space to create growth. I also believe that it is the job of the therapist to keep you there once you make the decision to enter the space. So I just ask all my clients to only find the strength to enter the space and try not to get overwhelmed by the potential journey. It is my job to make you feel comfortable and believe in your potential. Just take the first steps and I promise to take it from there.
