Introduction

I've spent over two decades as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with people who've experienced trauma, abuse, and the profound impact these experiences have on relationships and wellbeing. I specialize in helping trauma and abuse survivors—including those navigating PTSD, domestic violence, and emotional abuse—find healing and reclaim their sense of safety. I also work with couples facing relationship challenges, divorce transitions, and the complex dynamics that often accompany these shifts. My approach draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and trauma-informed practices tailored to each person's unique needs. I work with teenagers, young adults, adults, and elders across the lifespan. I offer telehealth sessions and currently accept Aetna, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Geisinger Health Plan insurance. I'm accepting new clients and would welcome the opportunity to support you or your family through this time.
