About

I am passionate about helping people create healing in their lives, whatever that means for them.

As a licensed professional counselor (licensed in Pennsylvania) with over 6 years of experience doing one-on-one and group counseling, as well as a background in expressive arts therapy, I help people discover their strengths, develop self-acceptance, and nurture a greater sense of well-being. I focus on creating strong therapeutic relationships through a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and interactive approach to therapy.

My work often centers on trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress-management, gender and sexuality issues, self-esteem, relationship issues, and communication skills. I also have experience working with people in recovery, and people who experience chronic pain and chronic illness.

Throughout my work in the field, beginning with my volunteer position as a crisis counselor, I have made trauma-informed counseling and complex trauma a special focus. I bring a holistic approach to counseling, and incorporate many different modalities to meet a person’s needs, whether that is exploring the mind-body connection, identifying and working with thinking patterns (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) or using mindfulness to build healthier coping skills. My background in expressive arts therapy allows me to work with the whole person, and enter into a unique process of discovery with each client.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you along that journey.

I look forward to working with you!
