Grief counselors and therapists in Allentown, PA

I am an LCSW, psychotherapist, with 12+ yrs experience in the Mental Health field. I have worked in many different Mental Health Settings such as: Residential, IBHS, Drug/Alcohol, and Community Based. Specializations include: CCTP, EMDR, and Anxiety, Depression.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, you do not

have to figure it out alone. I'm an LCSW who helps adults work through anxiety,

depression, trauma, and the hard seasons of life, in a warm and collaborative way that

builds on the strengths you already have. My goal is to help you understand what you

are feeling, learn tools to cope, and take real steps toward the goals that matter to

you. If that sounds like the support you are looking for, I would be glad to hear from

you.

I'm a bilingual Latina therapist — I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I bring lived understanding of what it means to navigate mental health across cultures. I work with adults who are carrying real things: trauma, grief, anxiety, PTSD, and the particular weight that comes from being in between worlds. I specialize in EMDR, a highly effective approach for trauma that works even when talking alone doesn't feel like enough. I'm also an affirming provider for LGBTQ+ and transgender clients. I trained at Temple University and hold my LCSW in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I genuinely believe therapy should feel like a conversation — not a performance.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe that healing, wholeness, and growth are essential parts of thriving as a human. These noble pursuits cannot be done alone. I am here to help you in your journey of processing life where ever that has been, where you are now, and where you hope to be in the future.

My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Finding the right therapist can feel like a leap of faith — especially when you've spent years wondering if anyone will truly get you. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, or carrying weight you've never said out loud, you deserve a space where you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning. That matters here. You are not too much. You are not too complicated. And you don't have to perform wellness to be worthy of support.

Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to navigate life’s challenges and changes. With over 10 years of experience as a social worker, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of their most difficult moments, especially those impacted by cancer, illness, grief, and major life transitions. I’m committed to showing up with authenticity, care, and openness so you feel heard and respected. My goal is to create a safe, non‐judgmental space where you can explore your resilience and move toward meaningful change.
