I am a culturally sensitive, licensed clinical social worker who specializes in providing evidence-based psychotherapy for a variety of problems experienced by adults and adolescents, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and eating disorders. Upon attaining my graduate training in social work, I completed a post-graduate training program in marriage and family therapy at the Council for Relationships.
In the past, I have worked as an individual, family and group therapist at a treatment center for teens and women with eating, mood, anxiety and personality disorders . I speak and publish on a variety of topics related to mental health and well-being and am an outspoken advocate for victims of intimate partner violence. I have also worked in outpatient settings, including outpatient clinics and community health centers. Additionally, I have been an adjunct professor at Temple University.
My education for treating eating disorders, emotional dysregulation, anxiety disorders and family conflict is an ongoing process. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers, The Eye Movement Densitization and Reprocessing International Association (EMDRIA), The Pennsylvania Society of Clinical Social Work, and the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals.
