Doctoral level clinical social worker - (at Empowerment and Recovery Psychotherapy, LLC)
Education: Clinical Doctor of Social Work (May 2010) University of Pennsylvania; Master of Social Service (May 2003) Bryn Mawr College; Licensed in Pennsylvania: CW015019; Post graduate training: Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia: Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (2012); Gestalt Therapy Institute of Philadelphia (2007)
I offer individual therapy with an intention to cocreate a working relationship and environment that is collaborative, non-judgmental, but challenging and attentive to allow for the exploration of life experiences. I incorporate harm reduction, feminist, trauma, and psychodynamic theories with the inclusion of anti-racist and social justice lenses while attending to resilience. Primarily, I work with the queer and trans/GNC communities and with persons who identify as poly, non-monogomous, and kink. Additionally, my practice focuses on work with persons who have survived complex trauma, childhood sexual abuse, childhood neglect, dissociative disorders, IPV, and substance use/addiction. I work with both adolescents and adults and I am credentialed with some insurance plans.
