Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Anxiety – Stress – Worry? Not wanting to face the day?

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have over 10 years working with a variety of people seeking help for anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, grief, and life changes. A little bit about my style – I am laid back, and create a non-judgmental environment, that is safe, and supportive. My approach is a mosaic of techniques to help people to focus on their strengths, developing skills to manage life challenges and get unstuck.

Relocation, career change, relationship struggles, childhood experiences, trauma, codependency, grief and loss, and addiction are sometimes slow to develop or occur unexpectedly. My style utilizes evidenced based techniques, creativity, mindfulness, and media to spark discussion.

“So grateful I found her. Pamela is extremely supportive, especially when I am having hard days. She is very encouraging and has been instrumental in helping me to manage my anxiety.” V.I. 4/27/2022

Who you are matters to me — and I mean that in the most specific way. Your story, your nervous system, your family history, your relationship with yourself. Not a diagnosis. Not a checklist. You.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the quiet weight of just not feeling like yourself anymore. I offer telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and Florida, which means you can access support from wherever you are — no commute, no waiting room.

I began working in criminal justice before pursuing social work — and that dual lens gives me a broad way of understanding people and the systems that shape them. I've worked alongside people in crisis, in grief, in deeply stuck places. I know what it looks like when someone is carrying trauma they've never named, and I know how to sit with you in that without flinching. My style is warm, grounded, and genuinely down to earth.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I believe healing is built through connection, trust, and feeling understood. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel safe throughout the therapeutic process.

With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, and other emotional concerns. I recognize that each person’s experience is unique, so I tailor therapy to your specific needs, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. Instead of directing you, I work with you to build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change. My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect.

Whether working individually, with couples, or with families, my focus is to help you better understand yourself and your relationships, navigate challenges more effectively, and build resilience. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with tools to support lasting growth and well-being.

You deserve a space where you can say the hard thing out loud and not be judged for it. Whether you're a man who was never taught how to talk about any of this, someone rebuilding after alcohol or substance use, carrying grief you haven't had room to feel, or living with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, or stress that never fully switches off, you can bring it here and we'll work with it.

Outside of work I'm watching sports and playing basketball. I also appreciate time at the beach.
