Here’s a little bit about me
I am a PA and FL licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Center City Philadelphia and am certified to see clients virtually in multiple U.S. states. I work with adults, children and couples, providing a safe environment of warmth and unconditional positive regard, so that each person can have the space to discover who he or she is and what steps are needed to better manage conflicts. I work with those suffering from low self-esteem, trauma, relational and transition issues, chronic pain and addiction. In addition to using EMDR, I may incorporate other mind-body techniques as needed, such as Focusing, mindfulness and intensive imagery work. I am a Certified as a Health Service Psychologist and certified in Integrative Mental Health.
I completed my doctoral education at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 2001. I did a post-doctoral residency in psychology at Thomas Jefferson University, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and have taught and currently supervise residents for the department. She completed a post-doctoral residency in psychology at TJUH, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior from 2001-2002.
I am certified as a Health Service Psychologist and Integrative Medicine Provider and am also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
I have lectured on mind-body interactions and healing, trauma and addiction, and have spoken extensively on the trauma associated with illegal detention and torture while in custody in China.
Distance, not drowning
Whether you are experiencing prolonged grief, shame, worry or anger, you are likely drowning in those feelings. When feelings consume you, it is impossible to see your way out.
