Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a clinician at our South Side Flats clinic who provides therapy services!

I love working with couples. They have difficulty resolving conflict, the spark has left their marriage and they are having issues with intimacy. They would like to decrease number of negative interactions, increase the number of intimate interactions. They are frustrated and hurt by one another. They both feel lonely in the relationship and need to learn to trust their partner with their emotional safety.

I utilize the Gottman Method for most couples. I utilize the 7 Principles of Making a Marriage Work by having them read the book together and do the exercises. We practice what they have learned in sessions and go over conflicts they may be having. We discuss the four conflict styles and I help them to identify which conflict style best fits them individually. We then work on different communication techniques, role play, and work through things in their marriage that have been difficult to overcome in the past.

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
