About Me

As a therapist, my goal is to provide an open and welcoming environment for individuals or families to work through any concerns or problems they may be experiencing. I have over ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with disabilities. I have expertise with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and developmental or intellectual disabilities. I hold both a Masters in Social Work and a Masters in Public Health. I particularly enjoy providing therapy for those who are involved in the healthcare professions such as nurses, first responders, and other social workers who may be experiencing burn-out, difficulty balancing work-life needs, and distress from the various impacts the pandemic has had on our communities.

I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and Colorado (accepting virtual clients as I am based in PA.)
