Do you feel like you need to take a closer look at your life? Maybe something doesn't feel quite right, and you're looking for guidance to identify and overcome that challenge. Therapy with me is a process which involves examining your feelings and experiences to illuminate a path to a better quality of life. Getting the help you need through therapy can be courageous and empowering. It would be my privilege to help light the way forward for you.

Does life feel like a struggle? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and not like yourself. Everything is annoying. Your fuse is running a bit short. You don't even want to interact with other people because it's too much: too much energy, too much trying, too much struggle. You don't feel like anyone can understand you. Past memories continue to impact you and you don't know what else to do. Life feels like such a struggle. You want to be involved in life and happy. You want to laugh, smile, and enjoy life.

Life’s journey comes with many transitions and challenges, some are predictable, but others are often unpredictable and even traumatic at times. White Orchid Therapy and Wellness will teach you the skills to not only be able to cope with and heal from the current challenges you are facing, but also to help you feel empowered and confident to navigate future stressors and hardships that may arise. With over 15 years of experience in maternal mental health, I have a deep understanding of the incredible demands and pressures on women today to do it all and enjoy every minute of it.

Life can give us struggles at times, and when we are alone they can seem overwhelming. With help we can learn to manage things with support and then independently so that we can move forward differently. Therapy is an art form and each person requires a different brush stroke. You will be met where you are and treated as an individual person who has value and tons of positive qualities. Most people have the skills they need to be successful but many forget they have them or how to use them. Together we can reintroduce you to yourself and you can begin to live life differently in a more rich and personally fulfilling way.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Eastern University, graduate certificate in applied behavior analysis from Capella University, a license as a Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and am able to diagnose ADHD, anxiety and mood related disorders.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing the tools and coping skills needed to manage struggles, build self awareness and enhance insight into the root cause of your internal discomfort. Building insight may involve discussing core beliefs that developed during childhood or within relational experiences and exploring how these impact your current thought patterns and behaviors. I specialize in treating women with perinatal disorders, infertility and relationship issues. I often work with individuals to enhance assertiveness, empowerment, and confidence.

Making the decision to seek the support of a therapist is a very personal process and often occurs when one wants to change an aspect of life. I work collaboratively with clients to build a trusting and compassionate therapeutic alliance, interweaving my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT) with my background in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to make the counseling experience educational and empowering.

Are you struggling with day to day activities? I am here to help. Drawing from my experiences with families, individuals, couples and adolescents while working at a Family and Youth Center, an alternative school for teenagers with mental health issues; I have counseled individuals and families from diverse walks of life. Each client is a unique individual needing their own structured support, coping skills and therapy. I will listen and collaborate a treatment plan most effective for you, depending on the context of your life, as we hurdle one obstacle at a time. It is my passion to share this journey with you.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or social isolation? Are you overwhelmed by work, family, relationships, or facing major life stressors? Is it hard to feel like you fit in? Are you trying really hard and still left feeling like you aren't good enough? My clients are often feeling stuck and wanting to feel better.

When you look at your child, you see strength and potential within them; but big emotions or challenging behaviors can cause you to lose sight of those positives, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and searching for answers. Children are complex, perceptive beings who know and understand more than we give them credit for, but they aren't always the best communicators, especially when it comes to their emotions. Thankfully, there is hope! Taking the time to understand your child's perspective and experience will help you connect with them on a deeper level, setting the foundation for healthy and strong relationships for life.

I am a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) who believes in personalized and holistic care. My experience includes treating a variety of issues such as: depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders, relational problems, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, substance abuse, as well as adjustment to phase of life dynamics, and issues affecting blended families. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents, young adults, individuals and families and have provided clinical direction for several residential and intensive outpatient treatment programs.

Are you looking for someone with whom you can have an open, honest, direct, and thoughtful conversation about whatever matters most to you? Someone who will listen carefully and attentively to you? Someone who will engage you in warm, candid, and supportive dialogue in ways that encourage you and help you to grow as a person? Someone who will help you to repair whatever has been ruptured in your life? If so, we would likely work well together! At the most basic level, therapy is an opportunity to make an intentional connection with each other in order to bring about greater awareness and understanding, and, ultimately, healing.

I am a pluralistic (integrative), client-centered, & humanistic therapist. I collaborate with clients, prioritize how they want to use the time & space in therapy, and help them to identify what kinds of support feel safe, comfortable & effective for them. I do not have an "ideal client". I love getting to connect with all kinds of people, exploring wide-ranging issues they want to focus on. When I work with folks with whom I share common identities/ lived experiences, that can be special & meaningful, but I've also had awesome experiences & successful outcomes when supporting clients who might seem quite "different" from me.

Feeling overwhelmed despite your best efforts? Are you questioning your path or purpose or experiencing self- doubt? Clients come to see me for a variety of reasons including navigating a difficult life transition, recovering from a painful heartbreak, loss or trauma, parenting support or simply longing for more self awareness and to improve their relationships or marriages. I enjoy working with motivated clients to identify obstacles and barriers that hinder their personal growth. It's hard to see possibilities when you are overwhelmed. That's where I come in. Call me and let's discuss what success looks like for you.

I believe in cultivating an honest and secure relationship between myself and each client. We will pay attention to relevant interpersonal dynamics that present themselves throughout our therapeutic work. Our prior experiences and significant events greatly impact the way that we relate to others and connect to the world. This can make it difficult to be transparent and vulnerable in therapy. We will first work collaboratively to establish trust and set expectations for our therapeutic work.
