About
As a counselor and as someone who has faced challenges myself, I meet each client with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a genuine belief in their ability to grow.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience, I provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can uncover strengths, process emotions, and explore new possibilities. Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving us unsure or weighed down, and I understand how challenging these moments can be. My goal is to help clients find steadiness, confidence, and balance while walking alongside them with empathy and support as they navigate life’s personal and professional challenges.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and evidence-based practices. I am also committed to providing culturally responsive care tailored to each client’s needs.
Together, we will focus on shifting patterns that no longer serve you, fostering confidence, clarity, and growth. Whether facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I provide a supportive space to help you move forward. My goal is to empower you toward healing, resilience, and a life that feels balanced and meaningful.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Media, PA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
