As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life experiences, including stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, and parenting challenges.
I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, supportive environment where individuals can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop stronger self-understanding. My approach focuses on empowering clients to address issues like self-love, guilt, shame, body image concerns, and workplace dynamics.
With extensive experience supporting adults, young adults and caregivers, I offer trauma-informed care for those healing from challenging experiences. My therapeutic approach is designed to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and cultivate greater emotional well-being.
I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, offering gentle guidance and evidence-based support tailored to their unique journey of healing and personal transformation.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
