How I work
I try to bring a warm, transparent, and collaborative style to therapy. My sessions are a mix of curiosity, compassion, and playfulness, I believe we can do the hard work of healing while still making room for laughter and creativity. Whether we’re using art, play, or open conversation, I meet clients where they are and tailor our work to what feels meaningful and effective for them. I became a therapist because, as a child, I didn’t always feel understood in my own therapy experiences. That inspired me to become the kind of therapist I wish I’d had, someone who listens deeply, validates fully, and helps people feel seen and supported. I also work with couples and families to help them rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and foster emotional connection. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel empowered to explore, heal, and grow.
My Education & Trainings
I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT) currently working toward full licensure. Before entering private practice, I worked in an inpatient facility, supporting individuals and families through crisis and acute emotional challenges. I received both my B.A. and M.A. at La Salle University and am continuing education in play therapy and trauma-informed care.
The relationship with your therapist is a large part of your success. Here’s more about me!
Outside of the therapy room, I’m married and a mom, and my personal journey has shaped my deep empathy and connection with others. I love baking, party planning, art, board games, movies, history, and exploring new cultures. You can always catch me doing something fun and colorful. I'm the person that people come to when they have something to plan because I go all in everytime. I love movies and shows of all genres but of course there are a few that I always come back to. My favorite pastime above all is painting and coloring. Creativity and comfort bring me joy, and I often carry that same energy into my work, helping clients find connection and growth in ways that feel both meaningful and human.
Working With Me
I offer both in person and virtual session in our Jenkintown, PA office.
