I am passionate about working with adolescents, adults, and their families/support systems. I have particular specialties using research-based practices to work with individuals struggling with Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In addition to those specialties, I support clients through a wide range of challenges, including trauma and PTSD, depression, stress management, relationship concerns, developing confidence and self-compassion, life transitions, and career and academic stress.

My approach to treatment is rooted in my passion for evidence-based practices. I recieved my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Cornell University and went on to complete my Master's degrees at the University of Pennsylvania: an M.S.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling and an M.Phil.Ed. in Professional Counseling. I have extensive training in treatment rooted in the latest psychological research including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) — all of which use behavioral, emotion-focused, and cognitive methods.

I place a strong emphasis on accepting the uncomfortable and uncontrollable parts of life, and focus on taking the power back from difficult internal experiences by achieving a sense of confidence in your ability to cope while remaining connected to what matters to you. This means ditching the self-critical thought processes that maintain uncomfortable feelings and replacing them with self-compassion.
