Often times, the hardest part of therapy can be making that first appointment and showing up. I commend you for taking the first step and seeking a therapist that feels like a good fit for you. Life can bring so many unexpected and painful challenges that can cause us to feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and sometimes even numb. When it feels like it is all too much, therapy can help. Whether it be social stressors, grief and loss, major life transitions, work-life balance, anxiety, relationship issues, or something else, my goal is to provide you with a safe and comfortable space to share and work it through.

I know one of the most important pieces in creating a successful therapeutic and safe space is creating a healthy and understanding relationship with all clients. Therefore, I fully believe in an individualistic approach, as I remain consciously aware that each individual is different and what might work for one will likely not work for all.

Searching for the right therapist can be daunting and exhausting! I recognize the hesitation in sharing personal and vulnerable information with a stranger, yet encourage you to give it a try. Seeking guidance/direction/insight/skills on a situation in your life that needs to be addressed shows hope, courage, and strength.

With 17+ years experience providing mental health support to children and adolescents, my primary goal is to foster a safe and trusting environment where your child can thrive and develop their emotional well-being. I understand that entrusting your child's mental health to someone else can be a challenging decision. However, I want to assure you that my approach to counseling is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a genuine commitment to your child's growth. By creating a non-judgmental and supportive space, I strive to establish a therapeutic relationship that encourages open communication, active listening, and collaboration.

“Asking for help is never a sign of weakness. It’s one of the bravest things you can do. And it can save your life.” By seeking help, you have already taken the first step in your healing journey. As a counselor, I seek to provide clients a supportive and safe space by playing on your strengths and potential for growth and to make my clients feel seen. My approach to therapy is collaborative and person-centered in nature and is focused on finding what works best for the individual as all clients bring their own unique story with them. Together we will work to find goals that are achievable and realistic.

My experiences have ranged across the lifespan with a heavy focus on working with children, adolescents, parents, and young adults in a variety of settings.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist & certified school psychologist. My training includes work at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Kean Psychological Services, private practice, & several school districts. When you sit with me, we'll focus on what's going on, create a timeline of your symptoms, and discuss your thoughts, behaviors, & feelings. We'll also discuss their functions, any reinforcing variables, & the interaction between these different elements. Overall, I tend to understand behavior in terms of experiential avoidance and escape behavior. I emphasize a data driven approach and will track your progress in therapy.
