I am a culturally competent therapist, who enjoys working with people and relationships from all backgrounds. With empathy, patience, and validation I help clients identify and dismantle unhealthy patterns, unpack shame, improve close relationships and achieve long needed growth. I view therapy as a unique, shared journey and the therapeutic relationship as essential for healing and change. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and individuals struggling with substance abuse. I am certified in evidenced-based COPE 7-session program for treating depression and anxiety in children and adolescents. I have an MSW from Widener University.
