I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) with a Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Temple University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Drexel University. My clinical experience includes providing individual therapy in outpatient settings and working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity exploration, relationships, body image, life transitions, and other experiences that can impact how we see ourselves and connect with others.

I am especially passionate about providing culturally responsive and LGBTQIA+ affirming care that considers the whole person, including the identities, relationships, communities, and systems that shape our experiences. I continue to expand my clinical training in areas such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and parts work, with a focus on bringing thoughtful, affirming, and evidence-based care into the therapy room.

My approach to therapy is person centered, relational, culturally responsive, and affirming, recognizing that your experiences don't exist separately from your identity, relationships, culture, or the world around you. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and strengths-based approaches, while incorporating elements of CBT and parts work when helpful.

Rather than following one set formula, we'll figure out together what feels meaningful and useful for you. That might look like exploring patterns in relationships, learning ways to navigate difficult emotions, challenging stories you've internalized about yourself, strengthening boundaries, or making space for different parts of yourself to be understood rather than judged.

I believe the relationship we build matters just as much as the work we do together. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest, ask questions, disagree with me, laugh when it feels right, and talk about the things that might be harder to say anywhere else. You know your life better than anyone, so I see my role as someone who gets curious alongside you, offers another perspective, and supports you as you figure out what feels right for you.

You can also expect me to be in your corner. Whether we're working through anxiety, relationships, identity, self-esteem, or the complicated process of figuring yourself out, I'll meet you with authenticity, encouragement, and without judgment. We'll celebrate the wins, make room for the difficult days, and remember that progress doesn't have to be perfectly linear to still be progress.
