My background is in mood disorders, including treatment of anxiety and depression. I also have experience in working with caretakers and their loved ones on issues of grief and loss.

When individuals undergo trauma or significant life stressors, it’s common to feel disoriented and in need of support. I believe that the healing process is best approached collaboratively, with empathy and without judgment. My diverse background, spanning from the criminal justice system to in-patient and outpatient clinics and crisis services, has provided me with a deep appreciation and understanding of the challenges individuals may face.

I enjoy working with people who have the desire and motivation to live a fulfilling life, but continue to find that something just doesn’t click. They may feel hard on themselves, unheard or misunderstood by those around them, haunted by the past, or otherwise nervous and tense. I enjoy working with people who believe they can get “there”, but simply don’t know where to start.

Trying to overcome grief and the oppression of our current systems is exhausting. Being in relationship with others in a shifting world can be scary. If you're wanting to find relief from bearing the weight of it all, I hope to help carry it. I work from a trauma-informed, sex-positive, anti-oppressive stance and hope to create an environment of warmth, connection, and curiosity. I aim to honor the ways in which larger social structures shape our experience of day-to-day life and offer a space where you can be heard, understood, and uplifted. I will work to hold space for the complexities of your life and the grief we all experience

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

My ideal client is an individual or couple motivated to make a change. Their issues can range from struggling to manage their day-to-day lives to struggling to handle emotional reactions. They would need someone who can gently call things out while providing coping skills or tools. My ideal client would want to make an effort to show up consistently. Showing up consistently is not just attending sessions but also putting in work outside of sessions. With consistency, there's more progress. If the client needs some time to warm up, we can work with that, too.

Welcome! I’m a therapist specializing in working with folks going through life transitions. Whether that means working through grief and loss, exploring one's identity, divorce, a career change, starting over in a new place, a medical event that results in a change in lifestyle, or stopping a habit that no longer serves you. I really enjoy helping people discover what gives their life meaning and exploring the big questions. I like getting philosophical! I'm also a big proponent of narrative therapy- owning your story and telling it the way you want to tell it rather than the way people tell it to you.

We all want to feel like we matter and that people get us. But it’s easy to feel lost or behind, like you’re never good enough, or only some parts of yourself are worth showing. Getting validation through work or relationships offers temporary relief at best, and numbing with substances or distractions often makes things worse. If you're tired of feeling this way, I can help. Let's talk about what’s going on and figure out how to make things better.
