I work from a humanistic framework, which means my role as a therapist is to help you find opportunities for growth and self awareness while providing support and understanding. You are a whole person with unique experiences, feelings, and strengths, and I believe you have expertise in your experience - I will follow your lead on areas you would like to work on in therapy. I enjoy helping clients explore ways to implement positive growth in their lives, especially in finding meaning after the loss of a loved one, overcoming trauma, reducing depression or anxiety, or facing a period of change.
If you have experienced sexual violence in the state of Pennsylvania, ask me about ways to assist with covering costs. I am also partially trained in EMDR to help address trauma. My previous experience includes alcohol and drug abuse treatment, residential and community behavioral health, group psychotherapy, and individual counseling.
I am currently accepting individual clients for tele-health sessions. I know finding the right therapist can be tough - feel free to reach out for a free consultation so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. Outside of therapy, you might find me playing music, buying records, or skateboarding.

I believe what makes therapy effective is the relationship between the therapist and the client. Rather than me taking on the role of the expert having all the answers, my goal is to join you where you are, with you directing the focus of the session based on your needs.
