Bio
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I received my MSW from Temple University in 2014 with a focus on health and mental health, and completed my advanced field placement at the Einstein Medical Center’s Department of Outpatient Psychiatry. I have multiple years’ experience in a variety of mental health and substance use treatment settings throughout the Philadelphia region, working with adults of all ages, and supporting individuals along their unique journeys of growth and healing from a variety of challenges. My approach to therapy is conversational, collaborative, and eclectic, drawing from various treatment modalities to flexibly meet each individual where they are. Above all, I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect, authenticity, and trust, is the most powerful and essential component in effective therapy.
