Areas I'm passionate about: chronic illness and hidden disability, self-forgiveness, self-identity, finding your life's purpose and desires, relational conflict, and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe therapy is inherently political and I don’t shy away from the impact that our society’s history, policies, and practices have on our mental health. I want to help you explore the intersections of your experiences and identities.

Not accepting new clients
I am an advanced master's student, in my last year studying clinical social work at Bryn Mawr College (Graduate School of Social Work & Social Research). I'll be graduating this coming May (2024). This is my second year of clinical internship, practicing as a therapist; this year at Main Line Counseling & Wellness Center. I truly enjoy connecting with & supporting all kinds of people, with varying topics that they’d like to focus on & get support with. Each person's ideas about what & how therapy should be are unique to them. I believe that however folks use the opportunity, it can be meaningful, useful, beneficial & valuable.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
