I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I use a variety of approaches including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness training to assist my clients with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, loneliness, depression, grief, life transitions, and stress management. Resolving past and current issues is a first step in developing a healthy mindset and frees one up toward achieving personal goals.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision. I am here to support you and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to process and work through your experiences. I invite you to reach out to discuss how we can work together. I am here to support your desire for healing and growth and can help guide you to manifest a positive future!

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.
