Drawing from evidence-based treatment models, including family systems, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral theories, I treat individuals across the lifespan with a variety of concerns, including communication issues within the family, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or those having a hard time making major life adjustments. I build a therapeutic relationship that helps clients feel safe to share what is going on in their lives and to work to understand and problem solve these concerns together. I find a great deal of fulfillment in helping people make the changes they have been striving for in their lives.

I work with adults with concerns of depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, grief and loss, and am experienced in helping people manage various life transitions, including relationship changes, adjustment to college, parenting and infertility. My approach to psychotherapy reflects a collaboration of psychodynamic, attachment, and problem solving theories. Together we focus on understanding and insight. My doctoral training was completed at Widener University. I have helped people in a variety of clinical settings including community mental health, schools, and college counseling centers.

I specialize in the treatment of adults with mood, anxiety and adjustment disorders.  I received my Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) from Immaculata University in 2004.  I completed my doctoral internship and post doctoral training at Philhaven Hospital in Lebanon, PA where I gained experience in neuropsychological and personality assessment, group therapy and couples therapy at several levels of care including inpatient, partial day and outpatient.  My therapeutic interventions are informed by current research in cognitive behavioral, choice theory (reality therapy), emotionally focused and existential/humanistic therapies.  I strive to create a respectful, supportive and growth oriented therapeutic relationship with all those I serve.  I also serve as an adjunct faculty member at Immaculata University.

My therapeutic practice can best be described as following an evidence-based behavioral practice model. Within this model, my goal is to work with my clients to find a treatment that (a) best fits their goals for coming to treatment, (b) has the greatest evidence to support its usefulness, and (c) takes into consideration the unique personal, social, and cultural history of the individual with whom I am working. With regard to specific treatment models, I have significant experience and training working from within Cognitive-Behavioral, Interpersonal, and Brief Psychodynamic perspectives. Although open to working with a wide variety of presenting concerns, most of my work focuses on depression, anxiety, couples/marital distress, adjustment issues, anger, and body image concerns.

I frequently help clients address issues such as anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression and other mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-esteem, loss, and work and relationship stress in order to maximize their emotional, occupational, and relationship functioning. I have a special interest in health psychology, helping clients adjust and thrive with chronic health issues such as diabetes, cardiac disease, cancer, chronic pain, and obesity. My aim is help clients navigate through difficult life transitions by providing a supportive and nurturing environment in which they can grow and make positive life changes. My approach is often based on the unique goals and needs of each client and incorporates evidence-based treatment strategies as well as cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic perspectives. My clinical experience includes multiple settings, such as college counseling centers, community clinics, intensive outpatient programs, therapeutic after-school programs, and primary care medical practice. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing bariatric surgery in helping them prepare and adjust to surgery and maximize long-term success.

I obtained my doctoral degree at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where I received intensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). While the foundation of my work is in the structure and skill-building of CBT, I individually tailor the structure of therapy to your needs and the challenges of your daily life.

I work with adults and teenagers with mood and anxiety disorders, relationship challenges, and eating disorders.  I specialize in therapy for eating disorders and balance CBT for eating disorders with practices of intuitive eating and Health at Every Size (HAES).  If you have a difficult relationship with food or exercise, you are not alone in this journey.

My goal as a therapist is to provide you with both support and skills.  It is not easy to make changes to the way you cope or how you show up in relationships!  If you want to understand where or why you are getting stuck, please reach out for support, and know that recovery is always possible!

Through play, talk, and animal assisted therapy with my Portuguese Water Dog Franklin, I enjoy helping clients figure out their own strengths and needs, and how to manage challenges to become their best self. With a doctorate in clinical psychology focusing on children and families, I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are in transitions in school, college, or helping children and parents navigate a divorce. I enjoy working with those experiencing behavioral difficulties linked to ADHD, Autism, and anxiety.

By learning about your own body and how these symptoms impact daily life and interactions with others, you can gain skills for better management. In finding out the why, the how becomes easier, leading to improvements in your own life as well as in your relationships with others. Therapy can be an eye-opening, validating, and even fun venture with life-long effects. Using techniques from CBT, Gestalt, family, play, integrative, developmental, psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapies, I tailor the therapy process to meet your individual goals.

I believe the foundation for effective psychotherapy is, first and foremost, a healing therapeutic relationship. I approach clients with a warm and engaging stance to cultivate a space where they can be seen authentically and met with compassion. I believe we all have the
capacity to find fulfillment and meaning even with life’s difficulties. I work from a strengths-based approach to begin healing from past traumas, foster resiliency, and promote self-acceptance. Importantly, I strive to understand clients in the context of their unique identity dimensions and lived experiences.

My integrative approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion techniques. I have special interests and experience treating social anxiety disorder, substance use disorders, trauma, personality disorders, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, and other anxiety disorders.

Do you ever feel that your thoughts are running like a hamster on a wheel and you just want to find peace; like recent life events are feeling overwhelming and you’re starting to lose your motivation or hope; or like your relationship is snagged in unproductive patterns that you can’t seem to change? I have over 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples with problems like this. I have treated mental health issues such as depression, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating/weight related issues, poor self-esteem, grief and loss, and health concerns. Additionally, I specialize in mental health issues related to infertility, postpartum depression, pregnancy complication and loss, and menopause. With a focus
on doing more of what they are already doing right, my orientation with clients is cognitive behavioral. I often employ strategies such as setting manageable goals, noticing and changing negative/interfering thought patterns, and various types of stress management and self-care. The collaborative, trusting relationship I foster with each client, coupled with the evidence-based interventions my training brings to bear, afford clients the opportunity to make deeply meaningful personal changes.

By exploring the themes and patterns in your life, we’ll uncover the roots of your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping you feel more empowered and satisfied in your decision-making.

I aim to foster a space for openness and curiosity in our work together, and I will work to understand your lived experiences and their impact on your current concerns.

I work primarily from a psychodynamic framework, integrating techniques from other modalities to tailor treatment to each individual. My past work with clients includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma, relational and/or interpersonal concerns, identity exploration, body image concerns, personality disorders, grief and loss, life transitions, and managing and understanding ADHD-related symptoms.

My first and most important job is listening to and understanding a client’s experience. We then work together to develop personal and meaningful goals around concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, adjustment and anger. I use evidence-based treatments tailored to each client’s needs and have specialized training in treatments such as Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i).

I am also comfortable working with people who struggle with physical health concerns such as weight management or coping with chronic illnesses. My aim is to help my clients live a fulfilling and satisfying life, whatever that looks like for them!
