I naturally employ an empathic and honest presence, valuing and respecting the experiences and perspectives of my clients. In my work I utilize scientifically evaluated strategies and approaches to building an alliance and therapeutic working relationship with clients.

My experience spans a wide range of settings including school, hospital, and rehabilitation settings. I am also trained in school psychology with extensive experience in developmental neurocognitive functioning and assessment. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an undergraduate degree in English from Saint Joseph’s University, and Masters and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Developmental Psychology from Bryn Mawr College (MA, 2003, PhD, 2007). PCIT is integrative and therapeutic coaching model for children and their parents to increase emotional regulation, behavioral regulation, compliance, communication skills, and relationship while using play therapy, attachment therapy, and behavioral interventions. I specialize in providing an evidence-based therapeutic model known as Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT). Over the years of providing exceptional counseling services at a non-profit organization for children, adolescents, adults, and their families, I have had the privilege to work with a diverse population of clients ranging from 2 to 58 years of age with a variety of presenting mental health diagnoses and symptoms, especially Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, ODD/Conduct Disorders, PTSD, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and suicidality. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from West Chester University in 2015 and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Immaculata University in 2018. I believe my clients need someone to encourage them to maintain their strengths and challenge them to develop insight and motivation towards their areas of improvement and treatment goals through individual, family, and couples counseling sessions.

If you are reading this and thinking about receiving counseling services, please know you are brave, and you deserve connections to support and resources for a healthier way of living. I am passionate about providing an integrative, holistic, collaborative, encouraging, and empathetic approach to the counseling journey. I pride myself in offering a safe, welcoming, understanding, and confidential space for clients of all ages to explore their strengths and use those strengths to meet their desired areas of improvement within their daily functioning.
