About My Clients
I work with many people who have been feeling overwhelmed and stressed. For some, their anxiety may be impacting their relationships at work, school, and their personal lives. For others, they've experienced something overwhelming and don't know where to turn. Many feel exhausted and maybe even alone. I understand. Therapy can help people feel supported to heal, grow, and get unstuck. I look forward to connecting and working collaboratively on this journey together.
My Background and Approach
I have a background in trauma, sexual assault and domestic violence work. I received my master's degree in clinical social work from the University of Pennsylvania. My therapeutic career began by working on a domestic violence hotline. From there, I've worked with sexual assault survivors, people in substance use recovery, and folks experiencing severe levels of depression and anxiety. I've lived in Philly since 2013, and now the bulk of my work focuses on helping individuals recover from trauma, depression, and anxiety. My main approach is to work collaboratively with my clients to help them find relief from the core causes of the issues they're facing. Together, we come up with a plan to help you reduce stress, become less reactive, feel more secure, and break negative patterns and cycles.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I was the first person in my family to receive a college education and that experience helped to inform my beliefs around social justice. In addition to challenging my own belief systems, I continuously read, research and pursue trainings to be a better informed ally to all people regardless of gender, race, class, and sexual orientation. I believe that therapy should be accessible for everyone who needs it, which is why I offer a service that helps clients get reimbursed for out of network therapy. I've been living in Philly since 2013, and have a deep love for it's historic homes, soft pretzels, and of course our most beloved mascot, Gritty. When not therapizing, you can find me playing with my baby girl, hiking a woodsy trail, or gardening in my backyard.
