I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been providing counseling and therapy services to youth and their families for over 40 years. While I do see adults in psychotherapy as part of my private practice, I primarily work with older children, adolescents, and young adults, and their families. I have extensive experience with the range of issues that youth encounter, including anxiety, depression, impulsivity, excessive anger, self-esteem erosion, gender and sexuality questions, and relational difficulties, and have a particular expertise in working with youth who present as neurodiverse and learning different.
I also have considerable expertise in working with adolescents in group therapy, and currently am conducting two ongoing, mixed gender, mixed problem presentation, therapy groups for high school aged clients. I am a Fellow in the American Group Psychotherapy Association, and national co-chair of the AGPA Child and Adolescent Special Interest Group.
Additionally I am a clinical supervisor at Benchmark School in Media, PA, and am part of the faculty at the Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research; I teach courses on clinical work with children and adolescents, group treatment, and social work in school settings. Finally, I am on the board of the PAGPS.

I am primarily a relational psychotherapist with additional training in CBT and family therapy. I run therapy groups for adolescents, and when possible, find combined treatment (individual and group concurrently) with me is the most powerful change modality for most presenting situations.
