As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on compassionate, evidence-based care for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. With a decade of clinical experience, I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.
My practice is grounded in understanding the unique journey of each individual, with a particular sensitivity to the needs of those who have experienced trauma. I have worked with all ages of clients. I have a background in behavioral health with children and teens with mood and behavioral difficulties as well as traumatic experiences. I also have extensive work with adults with most types of mental health concerns and have vast experience in trauma therapy with adults. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, honoring each person's strengths and resilience while providing gentle, professional guidance through life's most challenging moments.
I believe in empowering clients to discover their inner resources, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and create positive transformations in their lives. Whether you're struggling with stress, processing past experiences, or seeking to enhance your emotional well-being, I'm here to support you with expertise, empathy, and genuine care.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
