About Me
I strive to be a compassionate and easy-going therapist. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable setting to work on the goals you have set forth on accomplishing through therapy. I attained my doctorate at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. During my training, I worked in various therapeutic settings including an intensive outpatient program in which I led open process groups, psycho-educational groups, and co-lead art therapy groups. I also worked at a program aimed to help adolescents diagnosed with autism or Aspergers Syndrome have a structured college experience, and provided therapy for these young adults attempting to work on various social issues. As I complete the licensure process for Pennsylvania, I am currently under supervision of Dr. Eric Spiegel.

Specializing in Anxiety Treatment, Depression and Adolescent Therapy
Anxiety
"You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you." - Dan Millman
​
Our thoughts can be powerful, profound, and innovate - but they can also be negative and self-destructive.
Depression
"You don't know why you're exhausted? You're fighting a war in your head every single day. If that's not exhausting, I don't know what is." - Unknown
​
​Depression can be overwhelming, unbearable, and debilitating on each and every aspect of one's life. It can also be lurking in the background and not "severely" impacting you on a daily basis.
Relationships
"Every relationship has got voice if only you got the ears to listen." - Anne Nwakama
​
Relationships in all parts of life can play a role on our psychological well-being.
Job Stress
"The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. Don't give up." - Robert Tew
​
Stress at work can take a toll on your relationships, lifestyle, and physical health - but that doesn't have to be the case.
Trauma
"Trauma creates change you don't choose. Healing creates change you do choose." - Michele Rosenthal
​
Having a space that is safe and allows you to work on creating this change is one of, if not the, most vital part of working through past traumatic experiences.
Adolescent Therapy
"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't" - Unknown
​
Adolescence can be one of the most challenging parts of life due to so many factors including biological changes, additional responsibilities, and navigating that fine line of still being a "child" while rapidly approaching becoming an adult.
