Deanna, a Philadelphia resident, was born and raised in our lovely city. She is a graduate of Widener University having received her MSW license as well as her MEd in Human Sexuality Education.

Deanna strongly believes that therapy can be a great tool for healing. Therapy can help facilitate change, instill hope, and provide a safe, compassionate space for people to address trauma. Deanna’s specialties include family issues, anxiety, and depression.  “I became a therapist because I want to help destigmatize mental health treatment in all communities and provide culturally competent treatment.”

Outside of work, Deanna can typically be found exercising, shopping, or practicing yoga and mindfulness.
