Introduction

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides telehealth therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples throughout Pennsylvania. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel comfortable exploring difficult experiences, developing coping strategies, and building healthier patterns in their daily lives and relationships. My clinical work integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and EMDR-informed interventions. I have extensive experience helping individuals recover from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, improve relationships, and navigate significant life transitions. I also work with clients experiencing emotional dysregulation, chronic stress, family conflict, self-esteem concerns, boundary-setting difficulties, burnout, grief, and relationship challenges. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop practical tools for change, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
