Licensed Professional Counselor providing online EMDR and individual therapy to adults and adolescents in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Delaware
Having worked with children, adults, and families in a variety of clinical and community settings, I am well-equipped to address a wide range of life challenges and mental health concerns.
Now in private practice, I work with people who experience problems in living. These might be described as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, psychosis, life transitions, recurring relationship problems, self-doubt, meaninglessness, or the residual impacts of past traumas.
I recognize these problems do not exist in isolation but are connected to childhood, families, relationships, history, culture, racism, sexism, and other forms of systemic and interpersonal oppression. Along these lines, a basic imperative of my role is to embrace the lived-experience and fundamental humanity of everybody I work with.
My professional experience began in school-based therapeutic programs in Philadelphia. In 2013 I earned an M.S. in Clinical Counseling and Psychology from Chestnut Hill College, with a focus on psychodynamic and family systems theories. Since then I’ve worked as an outpatient therapist in community clinics and in private practice, as a mobile crisis clinician in psychiatric emergency services, and as a case manager, clinical supervisor, and team leader for community-based therapeutic programs for adults with serious and persistent mental illness.
In addition to my counseling degree, I completed additional coursework at the University of Massachusetts and received APA and EMDRIA-accredited training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Prior to my career in mental health I earned an M.A. in English from Rutgers Camden.
