I began working in the human services field as a case manager in Philadelphia in 2001. During that time, I worked with individuals battling severe mental illness; families striving to overcome a variety of barriers to their independence; and through Children Services, ensuring child safety and helping families heal and remain stable in their resources and relationships with one another. 

I earned my Masters in Clinical Social Work through Widener University in 2009 and began working as an outpatient Therapist here, in Perry County. I am EMDR trained (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and have Certifications specializing separately in Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities and Trauma.  I have continued to work in the surrounding area, while helping individuals, couples, and families feel stronger, heal from trauma, learn how to more effectively communicate with and understand one another, and generally feel more attached to one another and experience more success and satisfaction in their schools, work and community.  I appreciate and value the opportunity to work with you and/or your family.
