I am a clinical health psychologist who specializes in the relationship between physical and psychological health. My passions are helping people to make healthy behavior changes and to successfully cope with the psychological impacts of chronic illness so they can focus on what matters most. 

I completed my doctoral training at the University of South Florida, where my research and clinical work examined how psychological factors, like stress and depression, are related to physical health, such as obesity, diabetes, immune function and cardiovascular disease. After earning my Ph.D., I returned to my home state of Pennsylvania, where I am currently a licensed clinical psychologist.

I prioritize a patient-centered approach to therapy, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet the unique needs of each person. I typically draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Meaning Centered Psychotherapy, and Motivational Interviewing. This blend of techniques allows me to provide comprehensive support, fostering personal growth and meaningful change for each individual. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and feelings and make changes to live a life grounded in their values.
