About Me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, bringing over 20 years of extensive experience in the mental health field. My expertise is grounded in trauma-informed practices, and I have successfully worked with children, teens, adults, and families. I am passionate about empowering diverse populations throughout various life stages, and I am committed to fostering resilience and facilitating healing within individuals and communities. Together, we can navigate challenges and cultivate a brighter future.

Education & Experience

I proudly completed my undergraduate and graduate studies at Temple University, focusing on trauma-informed practices as a licensed clinical social worker. As part of my commitment to excellence, I graduated from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety-Related Treatment in Schools Course (CATS Program) at the renowned Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and earned a Trauma Certificate from Drexel University’s Behavioral Healthcare Education. I am recognized as a Certified Trauma Competent Professional through the Lakeside Global Institute and have specialized training in both the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) and Bounceback programs. In 2019, I achieved certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional through the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP), underscoring my dedication to providing the highest-quality trauma care. Most recently, in 2024, I became a trained EMDR therapist and achieved certification as an EMDR clinician. My extensive qualifications reflect my unwavering commitment to empowering individuals on their journey toward healing and resilience.
