My clinical and research interests include working with adolescents and adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, grief and bereavement, trauma recovery, intergenerational trauma, near-death experiences, LGBTQAI concerns, substance abuse recovery, clinical supervision, HIV/AIDS, personality, and human development.

Being a parent seems harder everyday. After trying everything, nothing seems to work. It feels helpless. Is there anything you can do? If your child seems to be living in other world, where there is no space for you, we need to find a way to reach out. If your child is out of control, leaving the house and/or being aggressive, we need to think what can be done. If your child is cutting, or increasingly more isolated, your influence is very, very important. Call me and let’s explore solutions. Together.

Sexuality is a complex, personal, and social experience. Many of us were raised with secrecy, silence, and shame. This often results in unsatisfactory or unhealthy sexual and emotional relationships. Many people today are struggling with sexuality and sex with their partners. We often don't know how to communicate about our wants, needs, desires, and boundaries. We may feel lonely, isolated, or misunderstood. There may be resentment or hurt in your relationships. Let's work together to heal the wounds and have a healthier, happier sexual life.

Hi, Welcome. I am so glad you are here. I know how hard it is to take this first step. You may have recent or past trauma, symptoms of irritability or just not feeling yourself lately. That’s okay. I am hoping you and I can create small achievable goals to help get you relief. I have been working with children, adolescents, young adults and adults for over ten years. I have a strong knowledge base of resources in the Delaware county and Philadelphia area. My orientation for treatment is trauma based, focusing on rapport and safety, then gently exploring how our past experiences shape our reactions and relationships today.

Are you looking to use therapy as another step towards growth on your own terms? Do you find yourself worrying if you're good enough? Does it feel almost impossible to get and stay motivated to make changes? Is the burnout practically debilitating? Has it become so difficult to remember who you are and what you want and need that you've resigned to fading into the background of your own life? If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then I would encourage you to consider CRES Wellness.
