Therapist

Career counseling focused on mental health in the workplace is my specialization. I help college students, job seekers and working professionals who are feeling burned out, anxious, or overwhelmed reconnect with their strengths and bring their best selves to work or school. Many of my clients juggle high expectations, relationship challenges at work or college, and feel stuck, frustrated, or held back by negative self-talk. Together, we work on recognizing these patterns, challenging self-imposed limitations, and building healthier, more confident ways of thinking.

Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA and MI. I believe in providing a non-judgmental space and personal connection to open up the opportunity for you to explore what's causing strain in your life: grief, anxiety, depression, past trauma, or other challenges. I offer practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

If you're feeling exhausted, anxious, weary, or down.. I believe there is a way to strengthen your sense of self, set realistic expectations and boundaries that value your needs, and bring yourself and your loved ones the best of you.

I received my Master's degree in Counseling from Barry University in Florida. Since I graduated, I have worked with a wide variety of populations, from severely emotionally disturbed children to adults experiencing addiction. I believe clients who are experiencing any disruption to their identity, whether that be the transition to adulthood, retirement, or even towards the end of life, are the clients I work best with. I am a firm advocate for creating safe spaces for any population that is critically underserved and have seen the positive outcomes that come from a client feeling seen and heard.

Life can be challenging, and in those moments we may lose touch with our true selves. Reaching out for support takes courage and is an important first step. With over 18 years of experience, my approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I work primarily with adults using an integrative approach that includes Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in creative and caregiving fields, helping them reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and find balance. I also work with adult children of caregivers who struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues such as Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
