LCSW | Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PA & NJ
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned my MSW from Simmons University in Boston. I have clinical experience with adolescents and adults, and am well-versed in working with people experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, psychosis, personality disorders, grief, life transitions, relationship and communication challenges, problematic substance use, existential dread, and the stressors of everyday life in this society. I believe that life includes suffering, and that it’s important to accept this reality while also finding healing, meaning, connection, and pleasure.
My therapeutic style is client-centered and trauma-informed, and I think of therapy as a mutual process of exploration and meaning-making, rather than something the therapist “does to you.” You can expect me to be warm, humorous, compassionate, and challenging. You will be supported to develop greater self-awareness, while taking skillful action to bring about change. I use a wide range of treatment modalities depending on each client’s preferences and treatment needs, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, and mindfulness and self-compassion practices. I have specialized training and experience in treating trauma and PTSD.
I work well with people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds, and believe it is essential to incorporate clients’ cultural, spiritual, and artistic practices into the therapeutic process. As a queer person with a multi-racial, multi-faith background, I provide affirming care to members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals navigating questions of identity, marginalization, and internalized oppression.
I look forward to giving you my full attention and energy.
I accept United, Highmark, Quest, Aetna and Cigna insurances and I am available for telehealth and in-person appointments in Fishtown & Northern Liberties.
