About Us

Throughout each person’s journey, we encounter challenging times that may impact our enjoyment and experience of life. I believe strongly in the support, encouragement and guidance a therapeutic relationship can provide. As a therapist, I work together with children, adolescents, women and men to improve their feeling of fulfillment in life. My therapeutic orientation is highly client-centered and focused on the strengths of the individual.

I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for each client, combining psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and strength based approaches. This can include development of coping skills, stress management and exploration of self. We create goals centered around your needs and desire for change.

My clinical expertise includes focus on difficult life transitions, adolescence and emerging adulthood, depression, anxiety, grief and eating disorders. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, integrating my experience from work at the Renfrew Center, a well-known eating disorder treatment facility in the region.

I am a therapist who believes in the possibilities therapy offers to help manage life’s daily stresses and create personal change and growth. My approach is to meet the needs of my client by jointly developing a clear plan towards a healthier individual.

I believe that therapy provides a unique experience where one can feel cared for and supported. I utilize a psychodynamic technique incorporating thought challenges, coping skill use, and self-care importance. In this environment, my clients can work through feelings to create positive changes in their lives. My clinical expertise includes working with individuals and couples in the treatment of eating disorder issues. I am also trained and experienced in grief therapy, self-esteem building, personal growth, adjustment to life changes, and anxiety and depression.

I graduated with a degree from the University of Pennsylvania where my training focused on psychodynamic therapy skills to help my clients heal and grow. Subsequently, I continued my work at the Renfrew Center for eating disorder treatment and the University of Pennsylvania before joining Live Well Therapy Associates.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over six years of experience working in the psychotherapy field, assisting adolescents and adults with a variety of life struggles. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the support and opportunity for healing that it can provide.

I aim to assist clients in utilizing the strengths they possess within to bring about positive and desired changes in their lives.

As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment in which individuals feel supported in their efforts to develop preferred ways of experiencing life. I work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to overcome issues and embody their best selves. Through both narrative and client centered framework, I work to meet individuals where they are, empowering them to recognize their own strength and resiliency.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I use a variety of approaches to cater to the client’s individual needs.  I strive to create a supportive environment for every individual, couple, and family who walks through my door, while encouraging everyone to take the necessary steps to accomplish their therapeutic and life goals.  My collaborative approach encompasses a range of therapeutic systemic models including CBT, DBT, psychoeducation, structural, contextual and other modalities appropriate for the client’s particular struggles.

I have clinical expertise working with the LGBTQAI community, personality disorders, anxiety and depression both in adolescents and adults.  I keep a safe environment for those in an alternative relationship (including polyamorous or open relationships) and/or have been on either side of infidelity. I work with couples to improve communication, intimacy issues, as well as co-parenting struggles. Additionally, I specialize in treating eating disorders having worked both at the residential level, as well as the outpatient level for several years.

I have a strong passion for the work I do and bring that to every therapy session. I look forward to hearing about your goals as we collaboratively work towards them.

As a therapist, I know that each person’s lived experiences are unique and, consequently, require intentional, individualized interventions.  Working in collaboration with my clients, I seek to help them strengthen themselves from within, build adaptive coping strategies and develop self-efficacy.  By creating a safe, open space, my clients can advance their trust in others through the building of rapport in our therapeutic relationship.

I received my BA from George Mason University and graduated from Drexel University with a Master’s degree in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling. Through this dual degree, I was able to understand the significance of the mind-body connection in relation to the change process. Dance/movement therapy builds self-awareness and encourages growth, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy facilitate communication and promote emotion regulation.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families who struggle with eating disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. In both individual and family work, my client-centered, trauma informed lens promotes optimal healing.

As a therapist, I am certain in the power of therapy and how it influences one’s journey throughout their life and experiences. I engage with empathy and unconditional positive regard, emphasizing the importance of meeting each client where they are in life. When building therapeutic rapport, I consistently promote authenticity and genuineness through my interactions. My therapeutic orientation revolves around strengths-based, client-centered, culturally competent approaches.

I received my Master of Arts in Music Therapy and Counseling from Drexel University. I incorporate music-based interventions to support building communication skills while increasing social functioning and emotional regulation. My passion is to utilize music as a tool for creative self-expression, as music can be utilized as a tool that builds authentic connections with one’s self and with the world around them.

I have clinical expertise working with individuals, families and groups with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma-related circumstances, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. My collective approach integrates a range of psychotherapeutic models including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), Gestalt therapy, and solution-focused therapy.

As a therapist, I believe you have to crack some eggs to make an omelette; while it can be incredibly painful to be a human, therapy can offer you the space to make meaning and new purpose. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are with authenticity, harm reduction, curiosity, and a strengths-based approach.

I received my Masters in Social Work from University of Pennsylvania and I have clinical experience supporting individuals in research, hospital, outpatient, and intensive outpatient settings.

I see clients for individual work and I run a DBT skills group which can help you learn skills to regulate emotions and navigate important relationships.

I am a psychotherapist who believes that everyone is worthy and capable of healing. Many of us struggle to take up space in this world, and my primary goal is to help my clients claim their space and then celebrate it. I strive to create an environment that feels relational, safe, and open for my clients to explore personal challenges and find deeper meaning.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing eating disorders, depression, anxiety, substance use, and posttraumatic stress. I earned my master’s degree from Bryn Mawr College’s Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. My approach is rooted in psychoanalytic theory and includes practical interventions for long lasting behavior change. I am also fully committed to providing trauma-informed and identity-affirming care.

To even consider beginning therapy is victory, and I am excited to join you on this journey.

As a human, I know that navigating the trials and tribulations of this world can be difficult. As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients work through the difficult aspects of being human to conquer the things that are keeping them stuck and allow them to shine in the way they were meant to. I firmly believe that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to therapy, and I strive to create a warm and personalized therapeutic experience for each of my clients, highlighting their strengths so they can reach their full potential.
