Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and I work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and family struggles. Over the years, I’ve supported families facing tough transitions, kids on the autism spectrum, and people who are trying to rebuild after life has knocked them down.
My style is down-to-earth, supportive, and focused on helping you feel stronger and more hopeful. In our sessions, you’ll have space to be heard without judgment while we work together to move toward the goals that matter most to you.
“Trauma-focused therapy is at the heart of my practice, and I offer a warm, supportive space for healing and growth.”
I’ve been a therapist for more than 38 years, and I bring a steady, compassionate approach to helping adults through a wide range of challenges. Over the past 16 years, I worked in two Veterans Outpatient Clinics, where I had the privilege of supporting both male and female veterans. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, childhood sexual abuse, domestic abuse, relationship concerns, depression, and anxiety. My approach is to meet the client where they are and assist them in improving their lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Allentown
Searching for therapists in Allentown starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare Allentown therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Allentown, local therapist availability can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, what a first session may look like, and whether their approach fits what you want from care.
Therapy in Allentown can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, view estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
