Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Allentown, PA covered by Cigna

I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.

I am a warm, kind, non-judgmental listener that has been through a lot of adversity in my life. Due to the hard times I have struggled to overcome I work hard to show both understanding and compassion.

There is no reason too small or too large to seek guidance. I believe that everyone's feelings have value & deserve worth! I am a kickboxer & dance teacher outside of therapy & value the power of creativity & youthfulness to foster a mindful, balanced lifestyle.

I believe every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their life. Sometimes, we just need a safe place to slow down, feel understood, and find our way forward. My goal is to create that space—a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without fear of judgment, and where you can feel supported as you begin to understand yourself in new ways.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood. I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from age 5 through 90, and I believe every stage of life brings its own challenges, strengths, and opportunities for growth.

I don’t believe therapy is about fixing what is “wrong” with you. It’s about understanding what you’ve been through, recognizing the strengths you already carry, and creating space for something different. I work collaboratively with each person I meet, tailoring our work to their needs, goals, and lived experience. My hope is that, together, we can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more confident in your ability to navigate whatever comes next.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who provides medication management for adults. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and more. I try to keep things real, supportive, and easy to talk through. My goal is to help you feel better in a way that actually fits your life.

My background has been shaped by walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult and vulnerable experiences. I began working in hospice care, where I learned the importance of presence, compassion, and creating space for grief and meaning at the end of life. From there, I moved into intensive case management and addiction counseling in a methadone clinic, supporting individuals navigating substance use, trauma, and significant life challenges. Over time, my work has focused more deeply on individuals living with complex trauma, dissociation, personality disorders, severe mental illness, and experiences of domestic violence. These experiences have taught me how important it is to move gently, build trust at a pace that feels safe, and truly meet people where they are. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental presence into the therapy room, with the understanding that healing often begins in feeling seen, understood, and not alone.

When working with clients, I try to create a safe, non-judgmental space that will allow them to honestly share what is going on. I believe that our work together is a partnership, so I respect your feelings, beliefs, opinions and process. I am versatile in evidence-based practice methods, including EMDR and Motivational Interviewing, to help bring you clarity and relief.

I aim to provide a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment for individuals hoping to explore the benefits of therapy that aligns with your preference and values. Through my formal training; Masters in Social Work, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBT, CBT, and Exposure therapy training, along side my informal training; life as a daughter, sister, friend, wife, and stepmother, I have learned and continue to learn about the importance and need for support and understanding.
