I am a seasoned clinician and have worked in several outpatient and residential settings with diverse client populations, with a particular interest in geriatric, special needs and LGBTQ+ communities. I attended Earlham College and the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a Masters in Social Work in 1993. Often, I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative and humanistic therapy in my work with clients. I believe in the ability of each individual to grow and make lasting changes.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Langhorne, PA


I specialize in helping adults and young adults manage anxiety disorders, panic attacks, chronic stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also support clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone.

Many of the people I work with are functioning well but internally overwhelmed—dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, physical symptoms of anxiety, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” Others notice anxiety affecting their sleep, focus, relationships, or ability to relax and enjoy life.
