I received my doctorate from Chestnut Hill College in 2003. My degree is in clinical psychology, with a focus on psychological assessment. I received a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Temple University in 1992 and have been counseling individuals, families and groups for over twelve years.

I have experience with assessing learning differences and emotional functioning through psychological assessment. I also enjoy providing clients with tools to experience more satisfying connections with others.

My passion is to help people feel fulfilled in their relationships with others. I believe that having healthy connections with others and feeling fulfilled is one of the basic needs in life. I strive to help you to nurture and strengthen the relationships that matter most to you.

When treating children and adolescents I stress maximizing their individual potential and coping skills, and strive to assist them in attaining maturity and self-confidence.
