My pragmatic, evidence-based approach combines compassion and candor to facilitate meaningful progress. Together, we will explore old patterns, discover new perspectives, and engage in exercises to enhance your well-being.

Using a brief and cognitive therapy approach, I specialize is working with individuals, couples, marriage counseling, and families for issues of relationship problems, self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma informed treatment, decision making, assertiveness skills, adjusting to new situations and the emotions and decisions that come along with it.

I have trained in psychodynamic, interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral therapies.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Rosemont College and have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years.

My practice provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment. I support individuals who want to develop coping skills and techniques to better manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being, while seeking understanding and validation for their experiences and practical guidance on how to navigate their daily lives more effectively. Common goals may include reducing anxiety or depressive symptoms, improving attention and focus, enhancing social skills and relationships, or overcoming past traumas.

The experience of trauma and loss changes your entire world view. Tomorrow no longer seems promised or predictable. The past is no longer just the past; at times, the past feels like the present. The fragility of life and closeness of death is now undeniable. What seemed important to you has changed entirely. Meanwhile, others around you are focused on things that seem petty and material, as they plan for a future they assume is certain. As a result, connecting with others becomes difficult and you can find yourself alone. You can feel like you are an alien on the planet you used to call home.

I am adept at supporting clients with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms, seeking greater self-awareness, clarity, and insight about their current struggles and how to shift them. My ideal client is motivated to change and is interested in co-creating the goals to work towards that change, with the ultimate aim being to reduce distress and build/nurture a rich and meaningful life. I often suggest homework to help practice the skills we are learning together in session. I integrate extensive clinical experience, specialized training, & my unique personality (including a healthy dose of confidence, humility, and humor).

With years of experience and having earned the trust and respect of the Philadelphia Christian community, we are prepared to help you navigate the storms of life in good hands. With competent Christian psychiatrists, Christian psychologists, Biblical counselors and health coaching, we are well trained to address the complex interplay of body and soul.

Therapy with me is an active, engaging process. My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. In therapy, I create a space characterized by authenticity, humor, and acceptance. I believe that being direct and genuine helps in building a therapeutic relationship where real change can occur. My approach integrates strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also often incorporate hypnosis in my sessions, which has proven effective in both acute symptom management and deeper therapeutic processes.

We welcome you to Evergreen! We are a private practice group of compassionate and skilled Clinical Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. We understand it's not easy to open up to someone you don't know, but we strive to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible. We are here to support you, to help develop workable solutions, and to improve overall health and well-being. We know that change and happiness are possible. You don't have to struggle; help is available. Our office staff are here and want to hear from you.

Are you a solution seeker that wants to enact change? Are you done with worksheets, breathing exercises and lack of concrete action steps? Examining problems requires help of an honest, direct, solution focused clinician with a concrete approach. Anxiety, co-dependent patterns ("people pleasing") or just trying to understand an experience to determine next steps look different when explored thru a "curious" approach. Every focused, achieving individual wants to "fix it" or do whatever it takes to feel better to live better. A solution focused approach operates on reason and concrete actions to take fostering hope.

As a licensed psychologist, my goal is to help empower you to transform your life in the ways you desire. Therapy works by helping you develop new understandings about yourself, and new strategies for handling your emotions, thoughts, and behavior. The fact that you are considering therapy means that you have already taken the first, and perhaps most important step. Ultimately, therapy can enhance your self esteem, connectedness to others, effectiveness in your life, and happiness.

Finding a therapist who will understand and hold space for your unique process can be hard. I want to make that process as easy as possible. Here is some information about what I do, but please feel free to call or email me if you have any additional questions. I see a wide range of clients working through many different concerns. I specialize in trauma and grief (grief when you lose someone, the grief after life changes without your consent, grief when you realize a relationship will never be what you'd hoped, and other forms of grief.) Here, you will have the opportunity for body, mind, and spirit healing in one space, if desired.

Too many life stressors may lead to unfocused work and/or frequent "crisis management" interventions. In collaboration, we identify presenting issues, prioritize problems, and clarify treatment goals for positive changes. I offer brief treatment (8-12 sessions) and long-term therapy (6 months+). For brief treatment, the average number of sessions needed is typically 8-12. For complex and persistent issues, more sessions might be needed. By maintaining congruence, genuineness, and unconditional warm regard, I build a trusting and supportive relationship with you.
