I believe it to be a unique privilege to assist others on their journey for healing, growth, and resiliency.  I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of clinical experience working with adults in community mental health and private practice settings. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work with a certificate in mental health.

​

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with influences from Somatic Experiencing (SE) and parts work. I enjoy incorporating education about the brain and nervous system into therapy in the spirit of understanding the mind and body as a whole. 

​

I can assist with a variety of concerns, especially anxiety management, boundary-setting, and compassion-based processing of attachment/relational trauma.

​

Each client I work with sets their own pace, as I am a firm believer in each person’s autonomy and expertise in their own life. I strive to create an environment of non-judgment and curiosity, focusing on what is in the present, what is meaningful, and where the willingness resides within each person.
