Confused by what all the acronyms are behind the therapists names? Aren't they all just therapists? Realizing that in every therapy profile they describe their self as "eclectic".... How about trying to understand where you fall on a sliding scale but wondering how your insurance could play effect? What is therapy?.... Life throws a lot at us and it always seems to occur all at once, leaving us with unanswered questions and lack of support. I'm here to help make sense of it all (including those questions above) and get us to where we mentally deserve to be at this time in our life.

The dark thoughts won't stop; "I really don't even want to be here anymore" or "What's the point?" Ever since the traumatic event, it seems like your mind is no longer your own. Everything feels terrifying and hopeless. It seems that no one really understands. You shift between keeping your struggles from those you love, to trying to share, only to be met with all the wrong responses; "chin up" or "others have it worse", just isn't helpful. You can't help but wonder- "everyone thinks I'm crazy" or "maybe I am crazy." You're so tired of feeling helpless, but you just don't know where to turn.

Therapy is The Answer. The Question? It is the reason you are here and seeking help. So many of us face stressors & challenges that could benefit from more Self-Love & more Self-Care. Therapy can be useful to identify & process challenges, to learn to manage all aspects of life, & to build Resilience, Understanding & Self-Compassion. Therapy is a private space where you can put aside the Fear of Judgement and pick up Tools for Personal Growth & progress toward Balance & Peace. As the expert in YOU, we will work together to establish meaningful goals, to get in motion with a renewed sense of motivation & to heal emotional wounds.

Working with a therapist can help foster insight, provide support, and build new strategies for a wide range of difficulties. Together, we can address the issues you're facing, improve understanding of yourself and your relationships, and help you live a healthier, more satisfying life. Using a collaborative treatment approach, we will work to identify your treatment goals and take steps to realize them. I earned my M.S. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Pennsylvania State University and completed a clinical fellowship at Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance.
