Questions You May Have

  • I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelors degree in Social Work from Shippensburg University in 2002 and my Masters in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh in 2003.

    I have been trained in numerous treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). While I use a blended treatment approach with my clients, I have specialized training and experience in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and use that as my primary treatment modality.

  • I currently am offering virtual sessions only. Clients must be located in the state of Pennsylvania at the time of session to remain compliant with licensing regulations.

  • Virtual therapy is providing mental health services over the internet. I find that virtual sessions can be just as effective, if not more effective at times, than in-person sessions because of the flexibility to provide services where the problem is occurring. Anxiety and OCD, for example, live in the home so it’s a great place to tackle problems head on.

    I utilize a secure portal called Simple Practice to schedule appointments, communicate with my clients, process payments, and meet virtually. You are able to access Simple Practice on either a phone, tablet or computer.

  • I am a self-pay practice. I accept payment through Simple Practice via an on-file credit card.

    Superbills (a receipt you can give to your insurance company for potential reimbursement) are generated and emailed out monthly for those looking to utilize out-of-network benefits.

    Please check with your insurance company for your out-of-network benefits.

  • Card payments are processed via Stripe through the Simple Practice client portal. A credit card will be retained on file and will be charged after each session.

  • I am happy to answer them! Please feel free to send me an email.
