About My Clients
I strive to create an environment which can be both a soft-landing spot for you to decompress from life’s stress, and a safe place for you to grow and stretch towards your fullest potential. I believe YOU are the primary expert on yourself. I walk alongside you on your journey and use my expertise to help you to define & reach the goals most important to you.
My Background and Approach
I am assertive enough to give you a gentle push when you are ready, aware enough to give you space and time when you need it, and humble enough to talk about it when I make mistakes. I take your mental health very seriously, therefore I know it is absolutely, positively essential to infuse humor in this work. We're going to work hard, so let's try to laugh whenever we can! I am gentle, yet direct. I hope to help you identify patterns of behavior that no longer serve you, and to find new and better strategies to withstand life’s many challenges. I started my career in behavioral health in 1996. I obtained a BA in psychology from the University of Delaware and a Master’s in Social Work from New York University (NYU). I spent 20 years of my career working at internationally recognized non-profit organizations in NYC and Philadelphia, serving on the Senior Management Teams of the Center for Urban Community Services (NYC) and Project HOME (Philly).
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My style is relational, and I am able to tailor my approach to the unique needs of each person with an emphasis on choice, self-determination, and collaboration. I attempt to approach this work through a lens of anti-racism. I take a strengths-based, person-centered, collaborative approach to the therapeutic relationship.
