(she/her)
I truly believe that therapy is collaborative work, meaning that I will walk with you on your journey and hold a safe space for you as we both work together to create the change(s) you’d like to see happen. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I approach working with clients (both individuals and couples), from a strengths based perspective. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities. I firmly believe that there is no one “cookie cutter” approach to therapy. Every client is unique and deserves a therapeutic modality that will be of most help to them. I also believe that humor, when and where appropriate, can be very useful and effective. As we walk together on this journey, you will feel seen, heard, and most importantly, believed.
I obtained my Master of Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. I’ve been working in the field for over 30 years. The majority of my career was spent working as a staff therapist at the exclusively LGBTQ+ Mental Health and Wellness Agency in Philadelphia. I also identify as a member of the community.
I very much look forward to working with you.
