I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and completed my Master of Social Work and Doctorate in Clinical Social Work degrees at the University of Pennsylvania.

My academic training has prepared me for my previous work providing psychotherapy at an outpatient mental health clinic, a rape and suicide crisis center, and most recently, a university counseling center.

In addition to my clinical practice, I currently work as an adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where I teach graduate level courses to therapists-in-training. I also advise clinical research for doctoral candidates at Penn’s School of Social Policy and Practice.

As an expert in the field of sexual violence, I have delivered trainings to emergency room physicians and nurses, officials within the criminal justice system, and media outlets regarding appropriate care of sexual assault survivors. I have also offered clinical consultation to the White House Office on Violence Against Women under the Obama/Biden administration, helping to guide federal response to sexual violence on college campuses and in prisons.

In addition to my expertise in the field of sexual violence, I have extensive training and experience in providing psychotherapy to people with a wide variety of concerns and diagnoses. I am skilled in working with clients who experience a diverse range of challenges and I have particular interest in the treatment of anxiety and depression.

My professional affiliations include the Pennsylvania Society for Clinical Social Work and the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work.
