About
As someone who has experienced challenging life circumstances, I understand the pressure to get things done while dealing with incredibly heavy emotions. I want to support you in working through the hard things so you can learn to be present in life, healthily experience all emotions, and achieve your goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Widener University. My approach is integrative and systemic, helping clients understand how life systems impact emotional well-being. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy to identify automatic and distorted thinking patterns and support meaningful change.
I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help, and I view that step as a sign of strength. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are. Together, we can challenge negative self-talk, build insight, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and adjustment to life-altering medical diagnoses or transplants. My background includes work in enhanced outpatient settings and individual therapy, treating a wide range of diagnoses and clinical presentations. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and guided toward meaningful change.
I earned my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from California University of Pennsylvania. My approach is client-centered and tailored to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.
Taking the first step toward therapy and inviting someone into your personal thoughts and experiences can feel overwhelming. I understand how important it is to find a therapist who feels like the right fit. If you are seeking compassionate guidance and a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I would be honored to support you on your journey forward.

The most important element of therapy is a strong relationship between the therapist and client. I hope to make your therapy experience validating and supportive.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 40 years of experience supporting adults navigating mood disorders, anxiety, substance use challenges, daily living stressors, and the impacts of childhood or sexual trauma. Throughout my career, I have focused on helping clients heal, regain stability, and build healthier ways of coping. My approach is compassionate, steady, and grounded in creating a safe space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
I earned my master’s in social work from the University of Pittsburgh. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior skills, and psychodynamic principles to help clients strengthen insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and progress toward lasting recovery.
I believe mental health therapy is both a process and a journey, and every step forward matters. My goal is to walk alongside you as you gain confidence, release shame, and move toward emotional clarity and peace. It would be my honor to support you on your path to healing.

Self-harm counseling is aimed at helping individuals who struggle with harming themselves break this pattern by addressing the underlying emotional causes and working to develop new, healthier coping skills. Thriveworks self-harm therapists in Philadelphia, PA are experienced in treating those who self-harm with empathy, compassion, and unconditional regard in order to help them heal and recover, both physically and emotionally.
Self-harm counseling at Thriveworks often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients discover the connections between their thoughts and feelings and their behaviors.
