I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Transformative Journey Counseling, LLC. I hold a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College and a Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis from Saint Joseph’s University. I also earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University.
I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, and adjustment-related challenges. My work focuses on empowering clients to gain insight, build resilience, and find healthy ways to cope and grow through life’s transitions.
With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I firmly believe in the parity of mental and physical health. Life often leads us into dark tunnels, and my role in therapy is to guide individuals toward the light at the end of those tunnels.
If you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a tough life transition or feeling disconnected in your relationships, you have landed in the right place. I specialize in working with children and adolescents experiencing behavioral challenges, individual adults, couples and families. I work from a collaborative and strength based approach. My goal is to help individuals reach their highest potential by nurturing their inner resilience.
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.
Tired of reading the same cookie cutter bio? I'll keep it short:
I graduated from UPenn 10+ yrs ago w/ a Master's in Social Work. I have experience working in every setting you could imagine. I specialize in making people feel comfortable, safe, and validated. I specialize in treating my clients like they matter, are important & are worthy, no matter what they look like, sound like, or "seem" like. I'm also an expert in being a real human being and not a robot with automated responses who will "mhmm" you to death.
If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.
I am a Licensed Therapist with nearly 25 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and families build emotional resilience and create healthier relationships. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in the same patterns, you do not have to navigate it alone. Having served as a clinical director in the past, I am deeply committed to providing direct care and creating a supportive environment where my clients can thrive.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and certified Perinatal Therapist. I work with women 18-65 years old with a focus on the perinatal period and motherhood.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work. I have worked as a therapist in a multitude of settings, including hospitals, school districts, Juvenile Justice, group practices and private practice. I have worked with clients of all ages, backgrounds and diagnoses. I have performed varying clinical roles including, Clinical Director of a Group Psychology Practice, Individual, Family and GroupTherapist , Children’s Hospital Individual and Family Therapist and Contracted School Based Therapist.
My approach is highly individualized, blending creativity and empathy to tailor each session to the unique needs of my clients. I collaborate, working closely with clients to set meaningful and inspiring goals.
