I am a licensed social worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Temple University and attended The Pennsylvania State University for my undergraduate education in Psychology. I am currently employed at a freestanding psychiatric hospital in the Philadelphia area as the Director of the Residential and Partial Hospital programs and Director of the Social Services Department. In addition, I have previously had the role as Director of Adult Services and Allied Therapy.

I have experience working with both the adult and child/adolescent populations in various arenas including: group homes, youth centers, safe houses, hospitals and outpatient settings. In particular, I have worked extensively with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) youth, women and children of abuse, substance abuse clients, and adults with varying mental health diagnoses. My diverse client background and therapeutic approach has enabled me to work with clients with varying life circumstances. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and regularly attend seminars and conferences to continue to enhance my professional skills.
