SPECIALTIES
MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Because no two individuals experience life the same way, I view my clients as experts of their own experiences and strive to tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs. I use an evidence-based, cognitive behavioral framework that is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on what matters most to my clients. As a student clinician, I am committed to working closely with my licensed clinical supervisors to support each client in making meaningful progress toward their therapeutic goals.
CLINICAL BACKGROUND & PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Previous experience providing evidence-based interventions as a student clinician at the Psychological Services Center at Temple University and the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center
Previous experience assessing anxiety and mood disorders as a full-time research coordinator at the University of Pennsylvania and as a doctoral student at Temple University
Trained in traditional and third-wave cognitive behavioral approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
WHY I DO THIS WORK
While volunteering in college as a teaching assistant for young students, I witnessed the immense toll anxiety and mood symptoms had on student learning, motivation, and self-esteem. This experience drew me to a clinical psychology career and sparked my passion for helping individuals who experience anxiety and related symptoms. I am committed to supporting people of all ages as they navigate life’s challenges, identify what’s most important to them, and make meaningful changes to reach their goals.
