About Me

    ’m a licensed psychologist with a clinical health specialization from Drexel University in Philadelphia. I completed my clinical training at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the San Francisco VA. I identify primarily with a cognitive behavioral framework, but also utilize mindfulness-based and insight-oriented approaches as appropriate. Optimal well-being and quality of life are primary goals of therapy. Problems are explored and understood through a holistic perspective that considers biological, emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal/relational characteristics of an individual. I specialize in health related issues such as chronic pain, sleep disorders, coping with medical illness, and weight related problems. I also work with area hospitals performing bariatric surgical psychological evaluations.

    About Me

      My goal as your psychotherapist is to engage you in a collaborative process that promotes healing and self-determination. I firmly believe in our innate ability to make changes, love ourselves, and feel empowered.

      Many of us aspire not only to work through or cope with our pain and suffering but also to embark on a journey of self-discovery, find meaning in our lives, build resilience, and achieve inner peace. My purpose and passion lie in empowering you to tap into your internal resources and develop skill-based coping strategies to create a fulfilling life.

      My approach to therapy involves creating a supportive, open, and non-judgmental environment. I have experience working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, self-harm, anxiety, and depression. My goals include fostering positive self-esteem, body image, and self-worth in my clients while also supporting parents whose children struggle with eating disorders and anxiety.

      In addition to my expertise in eating disorders, my experience encompasses anxiety, oppression, trauma, grief, social skills, developmental concerns, ADHD, and depression. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, employing a variety of techniques such as Family-Based Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

      Together, let’s embark on a vibrant and fulfilling journey, transforming life’s challenges into opportunities for growth, healing, and self-discovery in a warm, cheery, and compassionate atmosphere.
