About My Clients

I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. My clients are often seeking clarity, emotional relief, and real connection. Whether you're overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need support, I meet you where you are—with understanding and actionable steps. I offer telehealth across Pennsylvania to make care more accessible.

My Background and Approach

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with advanced training in DBT, CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. My approach is grounded, empathetic, and goal-oriented—I believe therapy should be both validating and practical. I’ve helped clients build healthier relationships, manage stress, and recover from emotional wounds. My experience spans individual therapy, couples counseling, and working with trauma survivors. I value creating a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where you can safely explore your challenges and start moving forward. Whether we’re unpacking your past or planning for your future, I’m here to help you heal with intention.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the healing power of connection, compassion, and authenticity. My practice is grounded in the belief that every person deserves to be heard, understood, and respected—no matter their background or life circumstances. I support inclusive and equitable mental health care and strive to create a space where clients of all identities feel safe and empowered. Outside of my work, I value quality time with my family, creativity through 3D printing and gaming, and staying curious about how people grow and change. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” someone—it’s about walking beside them as they rediscover their strength and worth.
