I am a Pennsylvania and New York licensed clinical psychologist. I believe that every person is different, bringing with him or her a unique set of difficulties, backgrounds, and strengths to my office. Therefore, I like to take an eclectic approach, meaning that I tailor the treatment specifically to the individual patient's needs. There is no "one size fits all" therapy. Of course this is done collaboratively; anything that is done in therapy is at first discussed, and I never proceed unless the patient agrees with the treatment plan.

Hello! I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Pennsylvania with over twenty years of experience practicing psychotherapy. I earned a doctorate (PhD) in clinical psychology from Georgia State University. I have worked with clients of various ages in a variety of settings. In addition, I have worked with clients experiencing a wide variety of psychological challenges and concerns, including: mood disorders, anxiety disorders; psychotic disorders; attentional difficulties; impulse control and behavioral problems; substance use and misuse problems; and problems associated with significant stress and trauma.

"Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'."--Victor Frankl I offer a private and confidential space for individuals to join me in removing walls that separate themselves from others. I treat a wide range of issues, including grief, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, spiritual crises, infidelity, sexual compulsivity behavior and betrayed partner trauma. I provide an atmosphere with no hidden agendas or unspoken intentions. I embrace a non-judgmental approach which facilitates the healing process.

Hello! My main priority with clients is to create a safe space that is free from judgment or criticism. I help clients explore their emotions, life events and goals in a supportive and collaborative environment. I strive to empower my clients to take an active role in their treatment. I use a CBT focused approach. I enjoy sharing and educating clients on resources and tools to help best support them. I welcome you to contact me via phone or email to setup an initial consultation to determine if we will be a good fit.

I believe everyone has the potential to thrive regardless of age, gender, race, ability, diagnosis, or experience, but often life’s challenges deplete the very internal resources we need to flourish. Sometimes we need the support of a trained professional to help navigate the difficult emotions and questions we are left with, especially when they interfere with our daily life or just won't go away. I provide a compassionate and professional environment where clients can safely explore what is holding them back so they heal and move forward.

Life is constantly changing. Transitions are often rewarding, yet change can create distress, upsetting your closest relationships, turn daily functioning into a struggle, or have you feeling physically ill. I specialize in working with adults & young adults managing life transitions & interpersonal conflicts (partner, coworker, peer).

Other special interests include issues related to: young adulthood, college, career change or conflict, family of origin conflict/(how growing up impacted your choices today), & codependency.

Sometimes life can feel unmanageable and overwhelming. Everyone has been through times that have felt impossible, and it is my goal in therapy to help you to find a way out. I offer a strength-based approach that allows my clients to pull from their most valued characteristics in order to overcome life struggles, build self-esteem, and create an overall feeling of happiness. I believe that everyone has the wisdom to find their own path, but are sometimes distracted by the adversities of life. Therapy is a great opportunity to rediscover yourself and build a better future.
