Clients I Often Work With:
High achievers, undergraduate and graduate students, LGBTQ+ clients, working professionals, artists and creatives, and people who think deeply, feel deeply, or don’t always fit neatly into the boxes around them.
Areas of Focus:
Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma/PTSD, relationship and family stress, life transitions, academic and work stress, perfectionism, identity issues, meaning and purpose, and stress management.
Therapy Approaches:
I have an integrative approach drawing influence from several evidence-based therapy models to try to tailor treatment to best meet clients' needs. Some models I use include CBT, DBT, mindfulness, exposure-based therapies like ERP and prolonged exposure (PE), and psychodynamic therapy.
On Treatment:
Everyone's therapy journey is unique; the frequency of sessions and treatment duration can vary, but we'll develop a plan collaboratively based on your goals. Also, you can discontinue therapy at any time.
Your Location:
Sessions are held virtually via a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. As long as you're in a secure, private space, you can take our sessions from anywhere in New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
My Location:
I live and work in South Jersey right outside of Philadelphia, PA. For most of my life, I've lived in various parts of NJ and PA and I appreciate exploring all these regions have to offer.
My Background:
I received my master's degree in social work (2023), an Excellence in Social Work Practice Award (2022), and undergraduate degree in psychology (2010) from the University of Pittsburgh. After my master's program, I worked as an outpatient psychotherapist at the Philadelphia Center for Psychotherapy from 2023-2026. I then went on to establish Cope Well Therapy in the spring of 2026.

Fun Fact:
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for over a decade at the intersection of art and social justice. As a therapist, I enjoy bringing curiosity and creativity to my work and helping clients to tell more empowering stories about themselves and their places in the world.
