I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach that helps individuals grow and flourish. While diagnosis may help guide treatment, it is not who you are. I do my best to help harness individuals strengths and find acceptance within themselves. I am an LGBTQIA+, body, kink, and polyamorous positive individual. I am private pay but I do accept Pennsylvania Victims Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP) reimbursement for survivors of sexual assault that occurred in PA. I also provide superbills for out of network benefits.

I support individuals with OCD, trauma (childhood and sexual assault histories) and addictions/substance use. As a Licensed Social Worker, working on obtaining my License of Clinical Social Work, I find it important to offer evidence-based treatments. My primary work and training is in EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, and life coaching!

Perhaps you are tired of traditional talk therapy, you feel ready to try something new, or you've researched best practices in trauma and/or OCD. You could be looking for life coaching only. Maybe you just found me here and are feeling hopeful! Regardless of why, I am ready to help you! Please reach out to schedule an initial session!

The treatment types I primarily utilize are EMDR, IFS, and Exposure and Response Therapy (for OCD). EMDR can help you reduce the power of traumatic memories, allowing you to effectively process them. ERP will help individuals with OCD address their fears/obsessions, subsequently learning how to have a healthier response to them!
