Therapist

I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.

I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression
  • Trauma-related experiences
  • Grief and loss
  • Burnout and compassion fatigue
  • Life transitions
  • Self-Esteem
  • Relationship and family patterns

On the outside, you may be holding it all together. Inside, it may feel like a lot. You may be dealing with intense thoughts, emotions, or experiences from the past that still show up in the present. Sometimes you already know the skills or what you "should be doing," and the harder question is why your mind or body keeps reacting as though something from the past is still happening now. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I also support LGBTQ+ individuals. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey that we take together.

There are people who the rest of the world thinks are doing great (or were, until some life-altering change occurred)—people who are giving so much and trying so hard. But somehow it’s never enough.

If this describes you, let's talk. My clients tend to be people who care for others, like teachers, activists, nurses and clergy. However, I also work with a lot of people who are just overwhelmed by the state of the world.

I welcome those who are skeptical about therapy. It is very important to me to be affirming of all genders and expressions, and to be an active anti-racist ally.

Therapist

I am a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Slippery Rock University and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Liberty University. With over 14 years of experience in outpatient therapy and more than 5 years of supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians, I bring both clinical expertise and a strong commitment to supporting fellow professionals in the field.

I have received specialized training in grief treatment using current evidence-based approaches across the lifespan, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My clinical experience spans a wide range of ages—from toddlers as young as 2 to individuals in their 80s—and I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s a powerful and courageous first step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.

For more than 30 years, I have been helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and build stronger, healthier relationships. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma, significant life stressors, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and develop a greater sense of peace, resilience, and self-confidence.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Temple University and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Catawba College. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to meeting each client where they are and helping them create meaningful, lasting change.
