Our Team

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families, providing a range of services including individual and group therapy sessions. As an art therapist, I utilize the power of art to facilitate exploration and develop effective coping strategies for a diverse range of challenges. In my practice, I strongly emphasize collaboration and work closely with school counselors, psychiatrists, and family physicians to ensure comprehensive and holistic care for my clients.

I earned my undergraduate degree from Dickinson College, and later pursued a master's degree in Psychology from Hahnemann University, which is now known as Drexel University. My husband and I have raised two children who attended the Radnor public schools. Actively engaged in the community for over 20 years, I am currently affiliated with The Radnor A Better Chance Program (Radnor ABC), where I contribute my time and efforts.

 I received my undergraduate degree from James Madison University and my graduate degree in Counseling from Assumption College. I specialize in adolescent and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues & trauma. My holistic approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy, EMDR and yoga philosophy. I collaborate with school, home and other health care providers to improve communication and social support for my clients. I love connecting with my clients and empowering them to be the leader in their own healing. I live in West Chester with my husband and two daughters.

I received my Masters in clinical Social Work from Columbia University with a focus on helping adults through important life stages and transitions such as parenting, aging parents, grief and loss, family impact of addiction and substance abuse and day to day anxiety about relationships and life events. As we grow and change, our beginnings and subsequent experiences inform our present thoughts, feelings and actions.  It is my goal to join clients where they are and assist them in accessing these thoughts and feelings to gain new insights and create a greater sense of self. I am energized by connections and helping clients find healing and growth in the safe and supportive space we create together.

While studying Psychology at Dartmouth College, I uncovered my passion for learning how family systems, genetics, social life and life circumstances interact and impact the mental health of the individual. I completed my graduate training at the Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Service. My aim is to support the individual and explore how the many aspects of their life (school, family, friends and work) have shaped and continue to shape them. Raised on the Main Line, I am interested in how academic and social pressures increase feelings of low self-worth, perfectionism and disconnection from values. My therapeutic style is relational, psychodynamic and holistic, exploring how changes in different areas of life can improve well-being. My greatest passion in life is supporting adolescents and young adults navigate the changes that come with “growing up.” My ultimate goal is to help clients not only survive but also thrive.

Trained in Family Systems Theory, I spent years in school social work with families and kids in K-12, understanding the important relationship between the child, family, school and community. In addition, I have extensive experience in running grief/loss groups for adults having lost loved ones. Concurrently, for 14 years, I led parent/toddler programs at a Montessori, facilitating mom's support groups and parenting workshops. I graduated from the University of Richmond (BA Psychology) and Bryn Mawr College (Masters in Social Service). I am a Licensed Social Worker in PA.

I follow a person-centered, strengths-based approach, in which I believe we are all the experts of our own lives. Working with my clients to develop skills and strategies to navigate their experiences, the goal of therapy is to work towards becoming our best selves. I love working with clients to help them realize their own potential and offer a safe space to explore emotions, identity and interpersonal relationships, process conflict and develop skills to move forward in a healthy and positive way.
I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, and my Master's Degree at Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY.

I am a pre-licensed therapist who works with teenagers, young adults, and adults in the individual, group, and couples therapy settings.

I so much believe in the power of empathy and therapy, and those as tools to help redefine and restore.

I work through a relational and emotional lens that focuses on connection as a vehicle to identify and navigate those difficulties and experiences being brought to and showing up in the therapy space.

I resonate with and integrate into my work relational-cultural, emotion-focused, and person-centered therapies. Through that eclectic framework, which is grounded in an empathic energy, I strive to help individuals transform their mental and emotional health, provide strategies for healing, and invite discovery with guidance.

I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Business, Organizations, and Society and English Creative Writing at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA, and my Master of Education in Counseling Psychology at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
