Let me introduce myself, I'm Dana!
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), licensed in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and South Carolina.
Primarily, I work with individuals coping with adjustment as well as grief, including patients with chronic health conditions and their caregivers. Additionally, I have found that leading groups is an unique opportunity to build connection and reduced the isolation often experienced in times of change and loss.
I also provide support and tools for coping with anxiety, depression, insomnia, family conflict, caregiver burnout, and relationship challenges.
My Story
A deep desire to help others navigate the challenges of life led me to become a therapist to tend to the needs of those with coping with and caregiving for chronic illnesses, as well as the those navigating bereavement.
My own personal experiences, along with my work in the hospice field opened my eyes to the profound necessity for compassionate and quality mental health care. I do not believe in giving advice (who really likes being told what they "should" do, right? Shame is not sustainable motivator!), but I do believe in giving tools to cope, and I hope our sessions together serve as an opportunity to fill your toolbox.
