"Love is the great miracle cure, loving ourselves works great miracles in our lives." I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I aspire to team with my clients to achieve their fullest potential using a holistic, wellness-based approach to therapy. By focusing on the mind, body, & spirit, we are capable of healing and moving toward our highest potential. In therapy I like to take both a solution-focused and personal growth approach.

We will work together to help you achieve the skills and insight you need to make lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 8 years of professional experience and an active member in The American Counseling Association. My experience involves helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and career difficulties. What I'm truly passionate about is creating a space where you can be yourself without any judgment. It's all about trust and openness. I believe in the power of conversation, and in our sessions, I aim to encourage a comfortable environment for you to bring all the different parts of yourself.

I am so glad you are here, welcome. Life asks us to transition and change all the time. That could be going to college, graduating, a new job, loss and grief, new relationships or a new phase of life, such as motherhood. Change brings up worries, sadness and overwhelm and can leave us feeling alone. My goal is to offer you some hope, support and transformation in whatever life transition you are in.

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, including being a school counselor and working in private practice, my heartfelt goal is to help others. We all struggle at times throughout life, and need some guidance. I offer a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, safe place for people to explore life issues, and strive to teach people various life skills. My passion is to help others reignite the lights within them that have dimmed for whatever reasons. I specialize in mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, as well as grief, life changes, and trauma.

I work with individuals using a holistic approach to mind, body and soul by allowing clients to attain balance and overcome everyday obstacles while meeting the individuals needs. I utilize different approaches to psychotherapy by incorporating various mind-body interventions including: mindfulness skills, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused brief therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. I believe that each and every individual can benefit from increasing self-awareness, focusing on one’s strengths, and the development of effective communication skills.

We all want to be happy. We may feel stuck or face challenges. Getting support from someone on the outside, in the counseling or psychology field, can help you gain a new perspective. You can learn to make better choices, feel less anxious and feel more optimistic; find peace in the day-to-day. I strive to help individuals live up to their full potential by overcoming life obstacles. With sincere interest and a creative approach, I help people by focusing not only on the individual, but also the social and cultural dynamics that influence their well being.

Coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, daily stressors, and life transitions can be overwhelming. The intense emotions you may be experiencing can create a sense of immobilization; a natural response when confronted with various challenges. Acknowledging the need for support is a courageous and powerful decision and signifies that you believe in the possibility of change. In our sessions, we'll delve into the complex aspects of your experiences. This won't be a passive journey; instead, your goals will be actively pursued. I'll assist you in identifying and addressing the unique challenges that get in the way of growth and change.

Do you long for balance amid this chaotic world? Do you struggle in managing your relationships, work, and emotional and/or physical health? My approach cultivates empowerment through compassionate support. I begin by learning about you and your worldview. I believe that you are the expert of your life and that within you, resides the inherent capacity to find your way through the most difficult of circumstances. It is my perspective that we often just need a bit of assistance in cultivating that path.
