I started my career as a social worker in Philadelphia working with adults living with HIV/AIDS. After finishing graduate school at Temple University and receiving my Master of Social Work degree, I began working with children in the foster care system. Much of my professional career has been working with non-traditional families formed through foster care and adoption. Many of my current clients are teens or adults who were adopted, individuals or couples who have chosen to adopt, or first pare...

I am a therapist with a background in clinical social work. I look back fondly on my college years, but I also remember well the struggles that came with it. It's a time in life when it's important to feel heard by someone who can relate. Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety and stress, or recovering from trauma, or working hard to stay away from problematic substance use, or just need someone to listen as you process your way through some difficult life transitions or relationships....

My approach to therapy is diverse; I tend to practice from primarily interpersonal and psychodynamic perspectives, although I also draw from cognitive-behavioral paradigms. I see my role as provider of a safe and supportive environment in which to help individuals become more aware of the multiple aspects of ...
College is a period of time of big transitions in a person's life. My hope is that therapy can provide you a place to improve emotional distress, heal from past wounds, and increase fulfillment in your life. I believe taking a collaborative approach to therapy as you are the expert of your own situation. As a trauma-informed therapist I believed it is essential to create a safe therapeutic environment. The focus of therapy is on your strengths and to build on your resiliency. I look forwar...

Over the last 16 years I have had the pleasure of working with children, teens, young adults and adults. I have ...

You are beginning a new phase in your life, but the worry, uncertainty, and fear are making you question everything. It feels contradictory to be excited and hopeful about this new phase, but also terrified and discouraged. You can’t help but compare yourself to how everyone else is feeling, which typically does not make you feel better. It feels frustrating, disappointing, overwhelming, lonely, and sucking the life out of you. You want to feel confident in yourself and your decisions again. ...
