" I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood by them and touched by them."
~~Virginia Satir
My Approach in Therapy:
With a compassionate and sensitive approach to indiviudal journeys in life, I make it a priority to fully understand the nature of the client's concern and experience. My hope is that my client will feel completely heard and develop a sense of trust in the therapeutic process which will instill hope for positive change.
I earned my Bachelor's of Art in Psychology at Ursinus College and then a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hahnemann University in Philadelphia in 1998. I am a Clinical Member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy(AAMFT) and member of Pennsylvania Association of Marriage and Family Therapy(PAMFT).
