Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Glenolden, PA

About My Clients

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, where active communication is key to supporting individuals wherever they are. Working with individuals and families aged 6 and up, I strive to promote warmth and authenticity in every session.

My Background and Approach

I explore the impact of environmental factors on life experiences, aiming to foster a sense of security by examining the intersection of physical health, mental health, and sociocultural influences. My goal is to empower individuals to gain autonomy and strength to tackle life's obstacles. Recognizing the client as the expert of their own world, I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming space for them to share and unpack their journey. As a graduate of Towson University’s Clinical Psychology program, I integrate CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and evidence-based methods to support diverse client needs, including neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, and family and interpersonal conflict.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

“Play is the opposite of survival mode.” I believe that as humans, we all need support and a way to reconnect with ourselves through physical movement and grounding techniques. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. My goal is to create a space where we can slow down and simply be present with ourselves.
