“I strive to nurture a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is grounded in warmth, compassion, and authenticity.”
Having been on the other side of the couch, I understand how powerful and transformative it can be to not have to hold everything on your own. I strive to nurture a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is grounded in warmth, compassion, and authenticity. My therapeutic approach is informed by psychodynamic, attachment, mindfulness, and relational principles. I am insight-oriented and trauma-informed, and work with a client’s existing strengths to lead to a more fulfilling life.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. I have experience in working with teens and young adults as a school social worker navigating concerns related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, individuation, interpersonal concerns, and life transitions. I enjoy working with young adults, teens, high energy clients. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I especially love helping other neurodivergent folks as well!
Black, sometimes with almond milk. Iced in the summer, hot in the winter. Fall and spring, it depends on the day!
Painting and drawing! I also can do a one-handed cartwheel.
Spending time outside or hanging out with my orange cat, Mango!
Hiking, dancing, yoga, and running! Sitting still can be challenging!
The ways I've continued to heal and grow to be able to show up tenderly for myself and those around me.
