Grief counselors and therapists in Bethlehem, PA

I strongly believe that everyone deserves to feel validated and to have their story truly heard. I understand—both personally and professionally—how essential it is to have a safe space where you are taken seriously in order to create meaningful movement and change in your life. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, working with individuals and families in both therapeutic and life coaching settings. Throughout my career, I’ve supported clients of diverse ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses, and I bring that depth of experience into every session.

With over a decade of experience, I offer tailored therapy for diverse challenges: Disruptive Behavior, Parental Stress, LGBTQIA Support, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relationships, Grief, Life Transitions, BIPOC Concerns, and Personal Growth. I use a holistic approach integrating Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, and Behavior Therapy. Let's work towards healing and growth together!

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.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most vulnerable moments. My work has focused on caregiver burnout, aging and end-of-life issues, veteran support, adjustment to new or serious medical diagnoses, and family conflict. My background also includes working with foster children, foster/adoptive parents, and parents of children with ADHD, as well as helping immigrants and expatriates navigate culture shock and identity adjustment.
