I specialize in "overthinking" and am currently accepting new clients. In addition to my clinical training I have an extensive research background in anxiety, depression, relationships, overthinking, and eating disorders. I earned my Ph.D from Penn State and M.A. from Boston College. My approach to therapy is strength-based and results oriented. I adapt the work I do in psychotherapy to each individual client as I've found that each person benefits from an individualized treatment plan and a psychologist who is knowledgeable and experienced in a range of effective treatments.

My clients find that they are ready to dig deep into their lived experiences and are committed to self-growth. My approach will always remain client centered, and is rooted in a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy models. The integration of various therapy models is based on the unique needs and challenges that you, the client, bring forward to be addressed.
