Therapy Guided by Your Experiences

Your experiences, ideas, and perceptions are important to me. No matter what issue you are seeking help with, I am here to listen and guide you on a path that is specific to you and your needs. I am a down-to-earth, gentle, and kind person who wants to learn about what you’re going through in your own words. Your experiences and aspirations are at the heart of the work we will do together.

If you are looking for a therapist who cares to see the real you and is genuinely interested in helping you find a path that suits your needs, I would love to have the opportunity to speak with you.

Easy to Access

I want to remove the obstacles that interfere with getting help and am committed to providing online therapy options that are easy and stress-free.

Issues

Therapy for teens, adults, parents, relationships, and families. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, isolation, and transitions.

LGBTQ+ Ally

Welcome to my story.

I grew up in a small business family in rural Pennsylvania and know the challenges faced by working people, especially when trying to cope with a declining economy. In the financial crisis of 2008, our 23 year-old business closed its doors and we had to reinvent ourselves. I became the first in my family to go off to get a bachelor's degree in social work. That was so much fun that I decided to go for a master's degree in clinical social work.

Since leaving school, I have worked providing caring support to people facing a never-ending variety of complex issues. Some of the roles I have served include: working as a case manager and mental health advocate in court, assisting in the reunification of families as a certified child welfare case manager, and managing staff in caring for people with developmental disabilities at a group home.

For the last 8 years, I have focused on offering exceptional mental health treatment to individuals, guided by state-of-the-art therapy approaches. Working with individuals to provide customized and effective support is my passion and I intend to remain here to learn, teach, treat and bring out the best in myself and everyone I meet.
