she/her/hers
Every individual has a unique story. As your therapist, my job is to listen thoughtfully and to create a non-judgmental space that invites you to speak freely. I will invite you to acknowledge life’s painful moments, and as you increase your awareness of your internal experience you will gain momentum in your individual healing process.
About Me
Much of my experience comes from working with multi-stressed individuals and families who have experienced trauma in addition to life’s typical challenges. During my work in a community mental health setting, I learned the importance of interrupting negative cycles in order to create positive and meaningful ways of engaging with ourselves and others.
I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings serving a multitude of clients and will approach our sessions from a strength-based, relational, trauma-informed perspective where your strengths can be illuminated.
I obtained my master’s degree in Community & Trauma Counseling from Thomas Jefferson University and have extensive training in Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy. I strongly believe that in order to help our clients grow we must also continue to evolve as therapists and so I value the importance of ongoing training and supervision in order to provide you with the best possible care.
