I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime. This means embracing change, especially when life gets difficult and we feel stuck, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed. Change is a journey with ups and downs. Personally, I believe we all struggle with challenges at different times in our life and it's the courageous who seek help.
Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with more than a decade of experience helping people navigate substance use and mental health issues. I have worked with people who use drugs and their family members in numerous settings and have experience conducting individual and group therapy. I obtained my master's degree from Temple University and am passionate about supporting those with substance use challenges and their loved ones.
A peaceful place to be heard, understood, and restored. Rooted in wisdom. Guided by compassion.
I’m a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care that integrates both medical and therapeutic approaches. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Temple University in 2019, with a focus in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, and later completed a post-master’s certification in Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2024.
My clinical background spans the full continuum of care across the lifespan. I have worked extensively with military service members and veterans, gaining a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the complexities of balancing mental health with identity, work, and relationships. I also have experience in inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, where I supported youth and families through acute mental health needs. In addition, I serve as the primary psychiatric provider for a large assisted living community, caring for nearly 450 geriatric residents across multiple levels of support. These experiences allow me to approach care with a broad, nuanced perspective across all stages of life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working in a variety of settings supporting individuals navigating PTSD, addiction, and recovery from domestic violence and relational trauma. I have worked in community mental health, treatment programs, and trauma-informed environments, giving me a deep understanding of the complex challenges these populations face.
My approach is trauma-focused, attachment-based, and grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are — without judgment — and partnering together toward meaningful, measurable healing. My goal is not just symptom management, but helping you experience real growth, healthier relationships, emotional stability, and lasting change.
Therapy with me is compassionate, direct, and empowering. We will work at a pace that feels safe while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing is possible, and I am passionate about helping clients see tangible results in their lives.
For clients who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian faith-integrated counseling into our work together.
You don’t have to navigate this alone — support and transformation are possible.
Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.

She works with clients of all ages and treats client with mood , addiction medicine and various mental health disorders include but not limited to bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, anxiety, panic disorder and sleep disturbance.
I have a long background in working with people who have interacted with the criminal justice system. This has given me first hand experience in witnessing how trauma, anger, depression, and anxiety negatively impacts not just the individual but also their families and partners. It has also given me the opportunity to educate people on themselves and seeing the gratifying process of change that happens as a result.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, I have supported children, teens, and adults through a wide range of challenges, including depression, trauma and PTSD, family issues, anger and stress management and chronic conditions including various health disabilities. My approach is compassionate, honest, and personalized. I take time to listen, understand your experiences, and help you identify practical steps toward healing and meaningful change. As a spiritual and active person with diverse life experiences, I bring empathy, perspective, and genuine support to every session.
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted just as you are. Using CBT and EMDR, I help clients gently connect the mind and body, make sense of patterns, and work through experiences that feel overwhelming. Therapy is a collaborative process where we move at your pace, building trust, insight, and tools to support healing and meaningful change.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in clinical psychology and theology, holding an M.S. in Clinical Psychology and a Master of Divinity. I work with adults and older adolescents facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and questions of meaning, identity, and purpose. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from evidence-based therapies while tailoring treatment to each person’s individual needs and goals. For clients who desire it, I can also integrate a faith-sensitive perspective into counseling.
