I’m a Board-Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I help people find calm and clarity in the middle of life’s challenges. My passion is helping you see yourself in a new light—beyond the stress, self-doubt, or pain that may be holding you back. Over the years, I’ve worked with people of all ages, from children to adults, and I have a special place in my heart for those living with cognitive challenges. I adapt my approach to meet your unique needs, using strategies that make therapy practical, meaningful, and effective for you. I truly enjoy connecting with people. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and person-centered—focused on your strengths and what’s already working in your life. I’ll walk beside you as we build skills, explore solutions, and create space for you to express yourself freely and without judgment. Life can be overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, frustration, or relationships, we’ll work together to find tools and insights that help you feel more grounded, capable, and fulfilled.

The families and students who thrive in my practice often arrive seeking support for the very real challenges they face—challenges that can feel isolating, overwhelming, or misunderstood in other settings. Many of my clients are navigating: Autism and the need for a more affirming, strength-based approach that values neurodiversity. ADHD and the daily push-pull of focus, impulsivity, and emotional intensity. The lingering effects of trauma, where safety, trust, and connection need to be rebuilt. Executive function struggles that impact school, home routines, and relationships. Emotional regulation challenges, especially when big feelings lead to big reactions. A deep desire to improve family communication, but feeling stuck in old patterns. What they share is not just the presence of these challenges—but also a commitment to change, a curiosity about their own growth, and families who want to better understand and support one another. In our work together, we don’t just manage behaviors—we build insight, confidence, and skills. We make space for emotional expression, teach tools that empower independence, and strengthen co-regulation and communication across the whole family system.

Being a student is a tough time of transition. There are alot of feelings that are swirling around, along with having to "stay on top of all of your academics and/or sports". For many students, it is the first time living without parents/guardians. You have to deal with faculty, and manage expectations from others as well as yourself. College life can be fun, but at the same time very stressful! Sometimes the stress causes other problems to pop up that you have not had to deal with before, or perhaps you did, but on a manageable level. Counseling can be an opportunity to talk through alot of these frustrations, and challenges. It can be a time to also find out about other resources in the world that can be helpful. Either way, it is YOUR time to figure out what would be helpful, and to get it! Reach out to Rays of Hope, we are eager to assist you during this time! PLEASE NOTE: I ALSO have office hours in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. which is right outside of Phila. near City Line Avenue.

Do you feel like your emotions are controlling you? Are you struggling in school or in your social life? Do you feel stuck, and you have no idea how to overcome what you are feeling? I work with teens and young adults to address emotional, social, and trauma-based struggles by working together to develop goals to overcome those obstacles. I use an integrative approach tailored specifically to your needs and goals, and work closely with you to learn strategies to overcome your struggles and thrive.

I work with individuals and couples who feel like they want more out of their relationships, career, as a parent, or with their decisions. I help people identify the patterns that they are part of that are not helpful in achieving joy, and I work with them to create different patterns that will lead them to a more fulfilling life.

I've dedicated my career to helping people heal from addictions and other emotional issues. I take a holistic approach to therapy, and can incorporate evidence based treatment with non-traditional energy healing modalities. I have a working knowledge of the Twelve Step philosophy with over 26 years of personal experience, which makes me uniquely qualified to help people (and their loved ones) who are struggling with an addiction. At Insight Psychological Services, our team works collaboratively to provide psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluations and medication management for individuals and families.

The world we live in is complicated and ever-changing, and the patterns we develop to address the challenges of life often cease to work for us...in fact, no strategy for living, relating to others, or to ourselves can ever work optimally forever. A depression, a personal life crisis, marital upsets and family conflicts are painful but often signal an important opportunity for self-reflection, assessment of "where I've been" in life, and the chance to create a new pathway for moving forward. This is where an expert therapist can be of value. When I work with a client, I listen to both the words of their story and also the feelings within the words. Often people have never felt free and safe to truly express themselves, to share a painful life event. Therapy can provide that opportunity. FaceTime and Skype sessions...I've been doing them for some time now. It's a great way to have an appointment when you can't get to the office, and it's also an ideal way to begin therapy and determine if I'm the right therapist for you.
