Clinicians
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor & Psychotherapist, Approved Clinical Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and Scholar. I approach the counseling process by building a strong therapeutic alliance and strive to join clients in discovering their needs and desires. I draw upon a psychodynamic framework and my post-graduate continuing education from the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. Additionally, I completed specialized play therapy training earning a certification in Mindfulness-Based Play Family Therapy. Before starting this practice, I provided play therapy to children (ages 3-18) and families across a variety of settings including schools, community centers, group private practice, and partial hospitalization programs.Beyond my clinical practice, I served as a tenure-track core faculty member in a graduate-level counseling program, contributing to the training, education, and supervision of future therapists. I am an active member and leader in the field, with my research featured in top-tier peer-reviewed journals.
