I have experience providing therapy to individuals utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and harm reduction model therapy. I utilize these methods to meet the client where they are and provide support. I believe in allowing the client to dictate the path therapy goes down while I provide tools to take that path.

Hello! I am a graduate from Rider University and have my LPC in PA. I have been in community mental health for a decade, working with people of all ages, backgrounds, and needs. In my eyes, the primary goal of therapy is to feel safe and build a trusting relationship with healthy boundaries in a non-judgmental environment. My techniques focus on building hope, being solution-focused and utilizing mindfulness techniques to feel more present. Often people feel "stuck" in the past or worry about the future, so a combination of these techniques I hope to create an environment that can help a person achieve their goals.

As a Philadelphia native and person of color, I am driven by my desire to provide healthy representation of breaking generational trauma I longed to see available for myself and loved ones during various trials in our lives. I’ve used my wealth of professional and personal experience in community behavioral health and private practice settings to work as a team with people that are trying to create senses of stability, fulfillment and self-understanding in their lives.
