Introduction

As a National Certified Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, I am deeply committed to supporting my patients in their mental and emotional well-being. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic methods, blending cognitive-behavioral therapies with patient-centered approaches. This ensures that therapy is tailored uniquely to you, respecting your individuality while drawing from proven strategies. After earning my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, I have continued to hone my expertise through numerous professional development courses and workshops. I have training and experience related to the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and other mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, grief and loss, and LGBTQIA+ specific issues for ages 8 and older. ​ Whether you are navigating life transitions, confronting anxiety or depression, or simply seeking a space to understand yourself better, I am here to help. Together, we will forge a path to self-awareness, resilience, and healing. My practice offers a compassionate and judgment-free environment where your story is heard, your challenges are addressed, and your strengths are celebrated. It would be an honor to accompany you on your therapeutic journey. Let's explore, understand, and grow together.
