About
I understand the pressure to keep going even when things are really heavy. I want to support you in working through life's challenges so that your life can feel as fulfilled as possible.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Widener University. My approach is integrative and systemic, helping clients understand how life systems impact emotional well-being. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy to identify automatic and distorted thinking patterns and support meaningful change.
I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help, and I view that step as a sign of strength. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are. Together, we can challenge negative self-talk, build insight, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence

Performance anxiety counseling is a therapeutic approach geared toward treating anxiety related to performing a task, such as stage fright, public speaking, athletic competition, sex, and other performance-related activities. Its goal is to reduce anxiety levels and symptoms that inhibit one’s functioning.
Thriveworks’ performance anxiety counseling in Media focuses on addressing underlying fears of failure and any perfectionist tendencies that are inhibiting someone with performance anxiety from living their life the way they want. Techniques used in performance anxiety therapy can include cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, relaxation techniques, and more.
Performance anxiety counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
At Thriveworks, performance anxiety counseling in Media can be a short-term process for people treating a specific area of performance, some finding treatment to be effective after just a few sessions. However, the length of counseling will ultimately differ in duration depending on the client and their levels of anxiety.
Performance anxiety is a common occurrence we have all faced at one point or another in our lifetimes. Anxiety in general is a common biological trait we all share as humans and one that prepares us for and forces us to react to danger. However, if you are experiencing performance anxiety that you would like to resolve, reach out to Thriveworks Media for help. We’re here for you.
The differences between having some butterflies or being slightly nervous and having true performance anxiety are significant. Performance anxiety starts to become problematic when it significantly affects your ability to perform or function in an occupational, social, interpersonal, or academic environment. Untreated it can lead to a person self medicating themselves with alcohol and ro drugs.
So how do you know if you have performance anxiety and should consult with a therapist? If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms and or behaviors and it is affecting any areas of your life you might benefit from consulting with a therapist.
Performance anxiety can negatively affect multiple areas of life, including:
The most common treatment used to treat performance anxiety is CBT; which stands for cognitive behavior therapy. CBT is an evidence based treatment method proven to show results. It will teach you the connection between your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviors. During CBT patients reframe negative thinking patterns into more positive ones. Patients also make changes in their behavior. Treatment will also teach you coping skills to better manage the overwhelming emotions and thoughts so they do not interfere with functioning.
Thriveworks is here to help with Performance Anxiety. At Thriveworks, we have licensed Psychologists, Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and Licensed clinical Social Workers that are trained and ready to help you to overcome your performance anxiety.
Call 610-808-9923 to schedule appointment. We offer evening and weekend sessions, provide same-week appointments, accept most major insurances, and offer additional benefits.
