I graduated from the University of Delaware with a BA in Psychology and a BS in Cognitive Science.
I furthered my education at NYU Silver School of Social Work for my masters.
My professional experience before starting private practice ranges from working in suicide & crisis prevention, schools, intensive day programs for adults with SPMI, and community mental health organizations. These have all helped shaped me as a clinician & human and I have much gratitude for my journey to Fully Human Psychotherapy.
I specialize in working with adults and older adults with difficulties managing stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, spirituality, existentialism, grief, and aging.
I have training in evidence based modalities including EMDR, CBT, DBT, CPT, crises interventions, and trauma informed care. I have also completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training.
I value ongoing professional development and stay current with emerging research and evidence-based practices in mental health / therapeutic modalities.
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy working out (running, yoga, hiking), trying new restaurants, reading, and live music. Utilizing these activities enhance how I show up in my work by keeping myself balanced, fulfilled, and recharged!
Education & Experience
My clients describe me as warm, genuine, curious, and patient.
Humans are complex and unique - my process as a clinician mirrors that. I believe that lasting work starts with a non-judgmental foundation and strong therapeutic relationship.
Depending on what your treatment calls for, I use a holistic, trauma informed, person centered approach with aspects of IFS, CBT, DBT, lots of support/empathy/holding space, gentle confrontation/observations, and humor.
I am certified in practicing EMDR through EMDRIA.
We can incorporate things that feel right and helpful to you as well as work dynamically to push through discomfort and try new things.
I have a 7 year old rescue lab mix who you may see pop up in the background at times - he has been made aware of the rules & regulations to ensure HIPAA compliance 🐾
