- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living in Pennsylvania. I earned a Bachelors degree in Human Service from the University of Scranton and a Masters degree in Social Work from Marywood University. I’ve worked in various positions in the healthcare and human service fields (long term care, hospital, oncology and hospice). I have been working, for the past ten years, in a community mental health setting. My experiences have enabled me to develop a warm, genuine, and practical approach to counseling. I appreciate the courage it takes to engage in therapy. We will work at your pace and on the issues you believe are important. My goal is to foster an environment which encourages acceptance and trusting your inner voice.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
