My training includes work at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Kean Psychological Services, private practice, & several school districts.

We'll also discuss their functions, any reinforcing variables, & the interaction between these different elements.

These treatment modalities can greatly assist in the processing and healing from issues that are deeply-rooted and often not fully resolved with talk therapy alone. I have expanded to include highly-skilled therapists who share in my enthusiasm and love for this work.

Therapy is a delicate balance of acceptance and change. I use a person-centered approach to create a validating environment in which you can open up, feel genuinely cared for, and develop a trusting therapeutic relationship. I can guide you through the complex process of change. I can offer skills and techniques for improving your life in the short term while the work of learning how to change your thinking takes place. I primarily practice Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which I have extensive training and experience with, and also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Is this how you envisioned your life? Do you feel like life threw you a curve ball and you are not sure how to handle it? Do you feel stuck? Self doubt and fear can make you feel as though you are living your life on the sidelines, watching without really engaging in it. This can make you feel as though you are unable to move forward and achieve your goals.

Do you ever feel like you don’t have the necessary tools to face the challenges in your life? Are you tired of asking yourself “How did I get here?” I feel it is important to meet you where you are, and I find joy in helping you discover your best self. If you are having issues dealing with anxiety, depression, domestic violence, substance use/abuse and trauma I can help you to work through it. I will give you the tools to cope and help you to reconnect with your true self.

My only expectation of my clients is that they come to sessions with an open mind and a willingness to grow. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where you are comfortable to speak your mind without fear of judgement. I truly feel that I learn something from each of my clients and believe that each client experience strengthens my abilities as a clinician.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, depression, divorce, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need help from a professional to learn how to cope with many of life’s challenges. I would love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
