Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Philadelphia, PA covered by Aetna

Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

I am an LCSW, psychotherapist, with 12+ yrs experience in the Mental Health field. I have worked in many different Mental Health Settings such as: Residential, IBHS, Drug/Alcohol, and Community Based. Specializations include: CCTP, EMDR, and Anxiety, Depression.

I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.

I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:

• Anxiety and stress
• Depression
• Trauma-related experiences
• Grief and loss
• Burnout and compassion fatigue
• Life transitions
• Self-Esteem
• Relationship and family patterns

As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I bring nearly two decades of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My clinical expertise centers on helping clients navigate challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and interpersonal dynamics. I specialize in addressing men's mental health, workplace stress, social anxiety, and life transition concerns.

I built my practice around a conviction I've held since I started in this field: you are capable of more than the patterns that have been holding you back. My job is to help you see that clearly and give you the tools to act on it.

As a Black male therapist with a supervisor-level license (LPCC-S) and a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT, I bring both clinical depth and lived perspective to my work — particularly for men, for clients navigating trauma and its ripple effects, and for couples trying to understand each other across that pain.

I'm licensed in Ohio and Pennsylvania, trained at Youngstown State University, and serve clients via telehealth across both states with flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, panic attacks, stress, and burnout. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent more than 12 years as a registered nurse and 3 years as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner in acute care. That background means I look at the whole picture: sleep, physical health, current medications, and life stressors, not just symptoms. Many clients come to me feeling stuck or unsure where to start. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again, with a clear plan you understand and agree with. Virtual appointments are available across Pennsylvania, often within the same week.

I offer individual psychotherapy for all adults, but specialize in working with those navigating the intersection of neurocomplexities such as ADHD, Autism, OCD, and complex trauma. Many of my clients have experienced years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or “too much,” often without a clear understanding of how their brain and nervous system work. My approach is both trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, helping clients build self-understanding, regulate their nervous systems, and move toward a greater sense of stability, clarity, and self-trust.

I am a warm, kind, non-judgmental listener that has been through a lot of adversity in my life. Due to the hard times I have struggled to overcome I work hard to show both understanding and compassion.

I believe every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their life. Sometimes, we just need a safe place to slow down, feel understood, and find our way forward. My goal is to create that space—a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without fear of judgment, and where you can feel supported as you begin to understand yourself in new ways.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood. I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from age 5 through 90, and I believe every stage of life brings its own challenges, strengths, and opportunities for growth.

I don’t believe therapy is about fixing what is “wrong” with you. It’s about understanding what you’ve been through, recognizing the strengths you already carry, and creating space for something different. I work collaboratively with each person I meet, tailoring our work to their needs, goals, and lived experience. My hope is that, together, we can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more confident in your ability to navigate whatever comes next.

There is no reason too small or too large to seek guidance. I believe that everyone's feelings have value & deserve worth! I am a kickboxer & dance teacher outside of therapy & value the power of creativity & youthfulness to foster a mindful, balanced lifestyle.
