I am accepting new clients in both Pennsylvania & Maine for telehealth only. I am a Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in working with adolescents and teens experiencing issues around life stage transitions, self-esteem, and family conflict. I also enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I have extensive experience working with clients around acute issues such as suicidality, self-harm, and trauma.

It takes real courage to ask for help and prioritize your wellbeing! Maybe you are realizing a need to look back and heal from old wounds, or maybe you’re hoping to transform your life and move into new ways of being. Healing and transformation are both possible, and I’m here to support you in these endeavors. My primary orientation as a therapist is existential-humanistic, meaning I honor the struggle for self-knowledge and self-responsibility. I aim to give space to the parts of you that are wanting to break through while also acknowledging the parts of you that may fear or push against this change (with compassion!).

I believe that healing the wounds of the past is the key to moving forward and having a happy and successful life. I focus on integrating the emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual health of each person with compassionate and individualized care. I have 27 years of experience in the Social Work field and have developed a therapeutic style that is characterized by empathy, approachability, transparency and non-judgment.

Life can throw us curveballs and we all need help sometimes navigating through life transitions and other stressful times. My style is flexible and interactive, working collaboratively with people to achieve their goals. I aim to provide an empathic, warm, non-judgmental environment. LGBTQIA informed and ally.

Making the decision to seek out a therapist is the first step towards healing and taking your life back. The therapeutic relationship is an important process as you begin to approach and navigate your mental health. This can be a daunting or a difficult task so trust and rapport will be an important part of treatment. I am skilled and versed in a variety of traditional therapeutic modalities. I know showing up to each session is an achievement in itself and progress towards your life goals. It is important to incorporate an individual style of therapy as everyones journey towards healing is unique.

Are you seeking a space to see change or growth in yourself, your relationships, your parenting? A place for your child/adolescent to work through the emotional waves of transitions, relationships, traumatic experiences, worries and to build confidence and success? A space to come together as parents to support your child(ren) in navigating the complicated world? Join me and together we will build a path forward using evidenced-based therapy models (CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused-CBT) in combination with empathy and creativity. Unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns are changeable, and I am here to help you realize this truth.

I help women who have been negatively affected by trauma and other adverse experiences. The women I work with struggle with self doubt, overwhelm, and anxiety.

With 20 year's experience, I have helped clients take a deeper, more insightful look at thought and behavioral patterns that hold them back from positive relationships, fulfilling careers, and a compassionate, worthy sense of self. Anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges are often the result of suppressing our authentic voice because of fear of rejection, abandonment, and self-loathing. We rediscover our genuine, original self by leaning into our fear of rejection, letting go of false beliefs about self and developing beliefs and new behaviors that are more empowering and in line with who we really are.
