I am a Certified School Counselor (preK-12) and Pre-Licensed Professional Counselor. As a graduate from The University of Pennsylvania with a Master’s degree in School and Mental Health Counseling, I studied Trauma-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, PTSD, and Childhood Traumatic Complex Grief. Prior to Penn, I had earned a Master's degree in Instructional Leadership & Special Education. As an undergraduate, I studied Elementary Education at Penn State. I have experience providing clinical counseling to children, adults, and families in individual, family, and group settings. As a Mental Health Outpatient Therapist, I specialized in working with children and adolescents struggling with adjustment issues, trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, ADHD, and emotional regulation. I help my clients to gain self-awareness, to utilize their strengths, to explore their thoughts and feelings, to learn emotional regulation strategies, to empower them to understand who they are, and to advocate for themselves. 💟With me as your therapist, you are in a safe, non-judgmental setting. I want you to be yourself! This is the only way I can do my best to help you.💟 ✏️If you are a parent looking for guidance to support your child’s social, emotional, and academic learning, I am here for you and your child!
