My goal as a Therapist is to create a safe relationship with each individual so that healing and transformation can occur. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather an individualized process that is created together. I desire to carry hope and encourage positive expectations while walking beside a person who may be experiencing hopelessness, pain, and suffering.
My education and training include a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling, a Pennsylvania license as a Professional Counselor, and a National Board Certified Counselor. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (Individual).
My experience as a Counselor includes working with geriatric adults in a locked, psychiatric facility; a therapist at two county jails and a woman's half-way house; at a community-agency which focused on re-entry for the formerly incarcerated, including young people in the juvenile-justice system; as a therapist for children and adolescents in the school-setting; and as a community outpatient therapist and clinician for a Clinical HIgh-Risk for Psychosis grant.
I utilize a Person-Centered approach that is trauma-informed, using Motivational Interviewing, CBT, somatic awareness, and the identification and use of each person’s strengths. I am also available to integrate Judeo-Christian faith perspectives, if requested.
Each life is like a story, and I want to listen and help you write your next chapter.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
