About
As a therapist, I create a compassionate, safe space where you can feel truly heard while we work together to navigate healing and growth.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I have experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions, and I also offer faith-based counseling for those seeking to integrate their spiritual beliefs into the healing process. I typically work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained and are looking for support, coping skills, and a deeper understanding. Together, we focus on building resilience, improving emotional well-being, and helping you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
My approach combines evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a strengths-based and faith-informed perspective when desired. I help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief by building practical coping skills, increasing self-awareness, and processing difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you don't have to go through it alone—healing and change are possible with the right support. I'm here to walk alongside you, and when you're ready, I invite you to take that next step toward the life and peace you deserve.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Philadelphia have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Philadelphia, PA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
