After 20 years of experience in this field, I utterly believe the mind is a gift, and cultivating it becomes the ultimate task of our lives. Being happy seems to be harder these days and getting to know oneself is not an easy job. Ultimate observation and further inquiry into our minds is the best practice to become closer to who we truly are.
After decades in healthcare, including years in hospice and palliative care, I learned something that shapes everything about how I work: the most powerful thing I can offer is simply to be present. Not to fix, not to explain away, and not to pretend I fully understand what you are going through. But to stay with you in whatever you are carrying, without rushing, without judgment, for as long as it takes.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. My years in hospice prepared me to hold space for people in the most difficult moments of their lives, and that experience is what I bring to therapy now. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, living with chronic pain, carrying trauma, grieving a loss, or burning out from caregiving, you do not have to make it more manageable for the people around you. You just have to show up.
One small note: I have a chronic pain condition myself, so you may see me reposition during our sessions. I mention it upfront so you can focus on yourself rather than wondering.

I’ve also developed and led a mindfulness-based program used in schools, healthcare systems, and organizations, with measurable outcomes in stress reduction, emotional regulation, and focus .

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Erie, PA
Searching for therapists in Erie starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes. As you compare Erie PA therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs. A therapist may list experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, or faith-informed care such as Christian counseling.
In a smaller city like Erie, local therapy options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can add more choice, especially if you want a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania who fits your schedule or has experience with a specific concern. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their therapy style. Bios can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether a therapist’s communication style seems like a fit.
Therapy in Erie can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Erie, PA who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, check insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
