It takes courage to seek help and be willing to talk with a therapist.

I embrace an eclectic style of psychotherapy, using numerous theories, humor, and creative art techniques. My philosophy encompasses giving individuals strategies and skills for improving their relationships; coping with current life challenges; as well as working through past traumas.

Life can be overwhelming. It throws you curve balls, and sometimes it just feels hard to navigate. Maybe it’s a divorce, job change, becoming a parent, death in the family, or any other life transition. Life can bring us baggage and even though we think we have it contained, it can seep into other areas of our life that we are trying to navigate through. I work with people who want to understand themselves better so they can continue to thrive in life. I want to help empower you to find balance within yourself and learn to fine tune your ability to respond to situation in which you feel in control with better balance and regulation.

Hi and Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with individuals all over Pennsylvania. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals through difficult, stressful, painful and sometimes scary times by providing a supportive environment where they are met with compassion and understanding. I have been working in the mental health field for over 15 years and have 8 years of clinical practice. I have treated individuals with various presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal ideation, ADHD, stress management, grief, anger management, life transitions and more.

I believe in helping you find your personal strengths, purpose, and meaning to help create and realize your life goals.

Have you been considering beginning therapy for some time? Do you need to talk to someone about any troubles you are currently experiencing or from the past? Do you sense that you're having a bad day but don't know why? Do you and your partner have relationship issues?

I am a Registered, Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor who believes in the power of art to transform and heal. I like to create a comfortable environment for children, teens, adults and families to work on change. I offer creative arts therapies including art therapy, sand tray, and play techniques to help them overcome challenges. In sessions, you will see how art can provide a way to express your inner most feelings when words sometimes fail you. Once the words have been spoken then it is often easier to address the deeper issues and conflicts.

I have had the pleasure of assisting those with numerous needs and strengths including children and adults with special needs, youth in the community, psychiatric, and educational settings, adults with severe and persistent mental illness, trauma-informed treatment, forensic care, geriatric settings, and end-of-life care. In addition to this, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), a Reiki Master, and a certified yoga instructor. All my experiences have illustrated not only the perseverance of human nature, but also the potential growth and healing anyone is capable of achieving.

A lot happens in life, and no one lives your life but you. Surviving trauma can shake our understanding of ourselves and the world, leaving us confused and no longer at peace.
