I grew up in the Main Line and attended T/E Middle and Conestoga High School, so working with families in this community is deeply meaningful to me.

 

After more than a decade of advanced training across the country, I’m grateful to be back home and offering evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and parents in the Philadelphia suburbs.

My Specialties

  • OCD

  • Anxiety (generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic)

  • Behavioral challenges and emotional regulation

  • School stress, academic difficulties, and executive functioning

  • Parent coaching and support​

​

With over 15 years of clinical and research experience, I’ve supported hundreds of families in building confidence, skills, and stronger relationships.

How I Work With Families

My approach blends the best of evidence-based therapy with a supportive, down-to-earth style that parents find practical and reassuring.

  • Every treatment plan is personalized to your child, your family, and what matters most to you
