My approach tends to be a mixture of relational and practical.  We collaborate to develop a deeper understanding of you and your behavior.  I believe that practical suggestions are more effective when accompanied by a deeper understanding of oneself — and always in the context of a supportive relationship.  I work well with bright and complicated clients. Part of my practice involves working with successful individuals who experience a lack of fulfillment despite their accomplishments, (e.g, wealth/status). I have a talent for teaching people how to use their strengths in order to overcome problems. I look forward to using that talent with you.

Who is the right fit to work with me? As a psychologist, I work with a diverse range of couples and individuals (24+) seeking help with a variety of concerns. If you’re not sure, let’s have a conversation.

Do you have a question about what insurance I accept? I so view our payment information. 

My interest in human behavior started in early childhood when my parents read Aesop’s fables as part of my bedtime ritual. My curiosity persisted and evolved over time, eventually resulting in my reading dated psychology textbooks from my high school library.

I subsequently majored in psychology at the University of Scranton with the goal of becoming a psychologist. After I graduated from the University in 1993, I attended Georgia State University in Atlanta. After a protracted period of time taking extra courses and practica, I eventually earned my doctoral degree and master of arts in clinical psychology with a specialization in psychotherapy from Georgia State University (2001). I am licensed in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I currently practice in Easton, PA. I have a breadth of clinical training, ranging from acceptance & commitment therapy to psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am a certified sex therapist (CST) through AASECT.

A message to my clients:

Therapy improves our lives. Decades of research support this claim…change happens! I recommend looking for a psychologist who is going to be a good “fit” for you. This is wise because our relationship sets the stage for therapy. Therapists vary; there are many ways to have a corrective experience in therapy. I can help you make an informed decision about me and my practice.

People are complicated and unique. While I am not completely attached to one model or method, I try to adapt to each client’s personal style and preferences. I often try to use a relational approach that involves the immediate experience of our relationship as a way to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relational process. I am also practical in that I am open to giving direct input if it is helpful. An important part of my practice involves asking for very specific feedback about the session as well as the quality of our relationship.
