My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.
I offer therapy for individuals, couples, and parents & children. I’ve enjoyed 30 years of helping clients resolve challenges such as; anxiety, depression, anger, codependency, narcissistic tendencies, life transitions, performance & success barriers, career & work stressors, family of origin concerns, and relationship difficulties. In individual therapy you can express your thoughts and feelings openly and without judgment in a confidential and safe space. I’ll work with you to help you understand yourself better, heal past traumas, and cope with the stressors of life. You’ll learn better ways of interacting with others, gain a strong sense of hope for the future, increase self-esteem, and improve your relationships and overall mental health. In couples therapy you will learn to improve communication, understand each other’s needs better, address ongoing negative patterns, learn to resolve conflicts, strengthen the friendship, and deepen the connection and intimacy between you and your partner. I am particularly adept at divorce prevention and helping couples work through infidelity. My goal is to help you stay together. If you have angry or unproductive arguments, I can help you avoid getting angry in the first place. If you struggle with infidelity, I will help you find the tools you need to repair your relationship and restore communication, connection, and trust.
I specialize in supporting women and their families struggling with major life changes and everyday stress. My clients come to me because they are looking for a therapist who embodies warmth, authenticity, and empathy, along with expertise in resilience-building and trauma recovery. Therapy should be a place where you feel grounded and optimistic. I can meet you where you are on your journey and provide the support you need to feel more centered, worry less, and think more clearly as you make decisions.
Welcome—I am so glad you're here! I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety and stress through evidence-based, compassionate counseling. I believe that healing begins with understanding, and I'm here to offer a space that is safe, supportive, and empowering. Anxiety can feel overwhelming and isolating, but you don't have to face it alone. Whether you are dealing with persistent worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or generalized stress, my approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a proven, structured method that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll work to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical strategies that support your mental and emotional well-being. My goal is to help you feel more in control, more confident, and more connected to your life. Every person's story is unique, which means our work together will be tailored to your individual needs and goals. Whether you are just beginning your journey or seeking support after trying other paths, I'm here to walk alongside you with empathy, insight, and care. Let's take the next step toward clarity, calm, and lasting change.
Change is something that we can always rely on. It will come into our lives whether welcomed or not. Being able to find inner balance and develop resiliency can help a person move through these changes. The start of this journey to establish inner balance, whether triggered due to illness, depression, anxiety, stress, or something else, can begin with outreach for support. I am drawn to the human spirit and I love working with individuals to fulfill their ultimate potential. I work to create a safe environment that allows for exploration and vulnerability, the emergence of awareness, strength, and resiliency. I believe that people need to be seen for who they are, and allowed the space to grow. A tree, no matter how confined, will still reach toward the sun. How do we all reach the sun? I believe we are all individuals, we see and learn differently, but we are all connected. Working together in a therapeutic space we can identify the sun and grow to the very best of our abilities. I was once told that, "there are no superheroes, just super hard tasks that ordinary people get through, manage, and conquer together." That is what we shall strive for together.
Do you often find yourself stuck in a loop of overthinking & self-doubt, unable to get out of bed or tackle everyday tasks? If ADHD, anxiety, & depression have you feeling trapped in guilt & shame, please know there is hope. If you struggle to get to work on time, feel overwhelmed with certain work or home related tasks, & find yourself feeling rejected or even criticized within your own relationship, let me help you to slow down, think, and reconnect with your emotions. Together, we can gently unravel the overwhelm and help you reclaim your life, one small step at a time. With my background in special education and solution-focused therapy, I tailor short, 30-minute sessions that cut through confusion. Using data-driven strategies, we target root ADHD symptoms, calm fight-or-flight responses, and ease procrastination, shame, negative inner voice as well as depression. Together, we’ll create a system that works for you—helping you feel organized, empowered, and aligned with your true potential. It’s time to stop masking and start thriving.
Trauma may have changed you in ways others can’t see—but it doesn’t define who you are. It can leave you feeling disconnected, confused, stuck, and unsure of yourself. It can ruin relationships, families and your sense of self. I have spent over a decade specializing in trauma as well as individuals in high risk professions such as health-care workers, first responder and Veterans. I know that healing is possible. If you're searching for trauma therapy near me or a PTSD specialist with advanced training, I can help. I am a clinical consultant and trainer in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), and I also offer EMDR to support nervous-system healing. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive, and trauma-informed. In therapy, we work together to understand how trauma has shaped your emotions, relationships, and nervous system. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and compassionate. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can rebuild trust in yourself, feel grounded again, and move toward the life you want. If you are searching for a "therapist near me," you are in the right place. I am a licensed psychologist in Pennsylvania and authorized to practice telepsychology across PSYPACT states through an active APIT (ASPPB E.Passport).

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I combine evidence-based techniques like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with a person-centered, trauma-informed perspective to create a safe, nonjudgmental space. Together, we’ll explore your story, build emotional resilience, and develop practical tools to support your healing and growth—always honoring your pace and personal journey.
Are you struggling in your relationships? Relationships can be complicated, and it is natural for people to see things differently. Yet, some of life’s greatest joys come from the connections we build with our loved ones. The quality of our relationships deeply impacts our overall well-being. If you are feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, caught in the same arguments, or unsure if things can truly improve, you’re not alone. If you feel hopeless about the future of your relationship and are unsure whether to stay or go, you don’t have to navigate this alone. If you are facing conflict, trust issues, or lingering emotional wounds, support is available—healing is possible. With over a decade of professional experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities that shape our relationships. Using evidence-based psychotherapy methods, I work closely with clients to help them navigate challenges, heal from past wounds, and foster personal growth. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative—empowering clients to gain insight into thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding them back. Together, we will develop healthy coping strategies and rebuild strong, fulfilling relationships with yourself and those you love. I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), The Gottman Method, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailoring my approach to each client’s unique needs. Additionally, I offer Brainspotting, a highly effective method for processing traumatic memories and alleviating emotional distress. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of counseling thousands of individuals, couples, and families, leading seminars worldwide, and publishing articles—all with the goal of helping people heal, grow, and create deeper, more meaningful connections. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I would be honored to support you in creating the life and relationships you deserve. Reach out today, and let’s start this transformative journey together.
" Real transformation sometimes requires real honesty" - I would love to assist you with finding the path to your true self. Are you trying to find the right therapist? Not knowing what, who or what you need can make a situation worse when you want relief. Let me help you! I enjoy working with individuals who are trying to make meaning of their lives. Whether it involves issues concerning anxiety, depression, stress, anger, life transitions, academic/work performance, or other personal challenges, I will provide you with a supportive and safe space to assist you in gaining insight into your life. My aim is to help you optimize you.
I provide a client-centric approach that leans into compassion so you can feel safe and secure. Through this space, we can get curious and explore areas where you feel stuck or wounded. From here, we can help you shift toward greater health and wellness. At its core, my work focuses on your relationships, including how they impact you and how you impact them. This helps us both widen our understanding and pinpoint areas of concern.
A healthy mind is the best predictor of a happy life! I am passionate about helping people find happiness and develop the capacity to treat themselves with kindness, connect with others, and find purpose in their life. I have an active style and have developed a "healthy mind approach" to helping. This means we focus on feeling resilient, stable, strong, balanced, and happier rather than on mental illness. In this process, we will determine what gives you a sense of well-being and happiness. I will then support and teach strategies for strengthening positive feelings and mind-states. This may be in the form of mindfulness practices, brain-based tools, strategies for connecting with others or finding a greater purpose. For grieving people, I help address the most difficult symptoms while processing the loss and returning to a sense of balance and hope. I am an experienced and mature therapist with work experience, training, and personal history that qualifies me for this important work.
