As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I bring over a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My clinical expertise centers on helping clients navigate addiction, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, grief, and self-esteem challenges.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of emotional experiences, including communication difficulties, isolation, shame, panic disorders, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. My approach is compassionate and focused on empowering clients to develop healthier coping strategies, rebuild self-worth, and create meaningful personal transformation.
When demonstrating evidence-based practices, I collaborate with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including veterans, couples, and those managing chronic health conditions. My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding, respect, and personalized support tailored to each client's unique journey of healing and growth.
I am committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. Together, we can work towards building more fulfilling and balanced lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
