Hi there and welcome. My name is Anita and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and currently providing virtual therapy to individuals residing in Pennsylvania and Florida. I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years, and currently specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, traumatic life experience, disordered eating and substance use recovery. I also have significant experience working with diverse cultural populations and the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience working with adults. I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason.

Each day, I provide mental health services with a holistic approach, general wellness (elevated blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes management, weight management, GLP-1 prescriptions, stress management, and nutrition), psychotherapy, talk therapy, medication management (per request), and strong advocacy for FMLA (continuous time off from work or reduced work schedule).

I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.

My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.

As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today. These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health. In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

Welcome! I'm here to offer you a safe space to work through past or current trauma, anxiety, or depression.

I have over a decade of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and consider myself a lifelong learner. As a therapist who has been in therapy, I have seen the benefits in my personal and professional life.

I received my bachelor’s of arts degree in psychology from West Chester University and my Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gannon University.

Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.

I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.

I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

I am open to new ideas and problem solving, through listening and exploring options. I welcome in depth conversations and always learn from my clients. Creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect is a primary goal. Setting attainable realistic goals for life. I have experience in business, schools (k-12 and higher education) and the Family Court System

My experiences include extensive training for diverse populations: Community Oriented Police, School Police officers, First Responders and Hospital security.

I have also taught coparenting classes and work with hundreds of couples in creating and implementing parenting plans. I have instructed and supervised counselors in training at both the University level and have been a hands on field instructor.

In the area of leadership, I have been president of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association, president od the board of both Circle Group Homes and the William Gladden Foundation. I have served on many community boards and current chair the scholarship committee for The Greater Allegheny Education Foundation.
