Your Trusted Partner for Mental Health Therapy Solutions
I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges through collaborative and creative psychotherapy. With over 25 years of experience in diverse clinical settings, including private practice, university lecturing, and hospital work, I specialize in trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, and emotional well-being. My practice integrates evidence-based modalities like EMDR therapy, which addresses the complex effects of trauma on mind, body, and emotion. I hold advanced certifications from the EMDR International Association and Syzygy Institute, ensuring specialized care for clients dealing with post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, and interpersonal conflicts.My approach prioritizes client autonomy, fostering healthy relationships with self and others while addressing issues like depression, grief, body image concerns, and family conflict. I serve adults, adolescents, couples, and families, offering tailored interventions that combine talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and family systems approaches. While maintaining a fee-for-service model, I provide flexible payment options and receipts for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. My practice in Wayne, Pennsylvania, builds on decades of professional experience and a commitment to advancing therapeutic excellence through ongoing education and consultation.

Services
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy addresses trauma effects through evidence-based techniques that integrate mind, body, and emotion. This modality accelerates healing for post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, and negative life experiences. Certified practitioners use bilateral stimulation to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing symptoms more efficiently than traditional talk therapy while maintaining client safety and control.
Individual Psychotherapy
Personalized psychotherapy sessions address depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem issues through collaborative dialogue. Treatment plans adapt to client goals, combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-informed care. Sessions focus on emotional growth, coping strategies, and resolving past experiences that impact current functioning while maintaining a client-centered approach.
Family Therapy
Family therapy sessions improve communication and resolve conflicts within family units. The practice addresses parenting challenges, intergenerational trauma, and relationship dynamics through structured interventions. Therapists facilitate constructive dialogue to strengthen connections, establish healthy boundaries, and create supportive family environments tailored to each family's unique needs.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling focuses on enhancing relationship satisfaction through improved communication and conflict resolution. Therapists address intimacy issues, trust concerns, and partnership dynamics using evidence-based approaches. Sessions create safe spaces for partners to express needs, rebuild connection, and develop strategies for maintaining healthy, mutually fulfilling relationships over time.
Trauma Treatment
Specialized trauma treatment addresses effects of childhood abuse, neglect, and adverse experiences using integrated therapeutic approaches. Combining EMDR therapy with somatic techniques, practitioners help clients process traumatic memories safely. Treatment focuses on symptom reduction, emotional regulation, and restoring personal agency while addressing trauma's long-term impacts on mental and physical health.
