I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in PA with 20 years of experience working with individuals, families, students, and professionals. I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings including private practice, hospitals, universities, and schools. I look forward to drawing from the myriad of experiences I have had to support you in achieving your goals for counseling. Parenting issues, stress, anxiety, family conflict, job uncertainty, and depression are areas in which I have had extensive experience.
I offer my clients a setting where warmth, clinical acumen, and a non-judgmental approach lead to personal growth, better relationships, and the ability to achieve your goals. Together, we will uncover your hidden strengths, process difficult life situations, help define your goals, and take steps toward a happier, more fulfilling life. I truly believe the therapeutic relationship is a partnership and I look forward to partnering with you to achieve your goals. Let's get started!

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.
