18 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over 18 years of experience in the helping profession. I began my career as a Mental Health/Substance Use Case Manager, where I linked individuals who were diagnosed with a mental health or substance use disorder to needed resources in their community. After completing my masters degree in Community Counseling, I began to counsel various individuals and families who experienced issues with: depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance use/dependency and other life issues and events. I am a warm, relatable person who believes that each person is currently on their own life's journey. During that journey we experience things that can be pleasant as well as things that can be painful. Therapy/counseling can help serve as a guide to help us navigate those unpleasant moments and painful experiences. Respect and empathy are my guiding principles. My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Psycho-Dynamic and Humanistic Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and Person Centered Thinking concepts and techniques. Taking the first steps toward change can be difficult at times. If you are ready to begin the journey of healing and positive change I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to meeting you!

I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world by helping others when I was 12 years old. When one of my close friends lost her mother after battling cancer at the age of 15, I thought: “I wish I had the right words to comfort her.” This prompted me to choose to become a counselor. I have learned that what is most important when someone is hurting is to show up. To really be there for them. To hear their story. To listen and to understand what they are going through. I have learned that being vulnerable makes us strong and connects us to each other. In sessions, I will share when I can relate to an issue or situation and help my clients delve deeper into where their feelings, thoughts or behaviors are coming from to get to the root of the problems. I have worked with clients on identifying patterns in their life and finding ways to break negative cycles by changing their thoughts and perspectives so that changed emotions and behaviors will take place. So that healing can happen. I believe healing is possible. I believe we can unlock our abilities and potential by understanding ourselves, our past and our motives and breaking down the barriers of fear, pain and lies that others told us and we told ourselves for years. Change is possible. Therapy can be scary and takes hard work and courage. But with support and commitment we can change our lives for the better and have the peace and love our hearts ache for in life. We need each other. We don’t have to do life alone. I specialize in working with trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues and grief and loss. I work with clients to empower and inspire them to believe in themselves, love themselves and to shine their light in this world. We are all valuable and we all deserve to have a healthy, happy and good quality of life. We all need and deserve to be loved. Helping others brings me joy. I am happy to walk alongside you to help you reach your goals and shine your light brightly.
