About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with over 15 years of clinical experience working in a variety of treatment settings including residential mental health, inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol, and private practice. I have extensive experience working with adults (ages 18+) with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief/loss, addiction, and trauma.
My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and somatic work. I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) as well as a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.
I value both practical tools and deeper exploration – finding a balance between building coping skills while gently exploring the patterns and experiences that continue to impact your life today. I have completed EMDR Basic Training and am currently pursuing advanced trainings and certification.
