Look no further for a therapist. With over 35 years of both inpatient & outpatient experience, I am not that therapist who repeatedly asks,”How do you feel about that?” Instead, my goal is to proactively work with you as a team to inspire change. Through gained insight & discernment, we will identify & cleanse the toxic areas in your life that hinder you from healthy decision making & inner peace.

Many of my clients have come to me after being diagnosed fully believing that their lives were over. Mental health issues do not define who you are as a person. They are just a small part of why we react in particular situations, in specific ways. I have a passion to help my clients and their families to discover not only how to overcome their mental health issues, but to thrive despite their mental health issues.

Unresolved grief, trauma and relationship issues can block us from having the lives we want and make it difficult for us to have healthy connections.

I believe anyone can change themselves for the better. I offer flexible hours, accept most major insurances, and I provide telehealth services all throughout PA.

Reaching out for help and support is a sign of strength not weakness. Many things such as addiction, depression, or anxiety can challenge us toward seeking change in our lives. Together we can explore your thinking and work toward a change that will empower and motivate a healthy, balanced life. I truly believe everyone deserves my respect without judgment. As human beings we all have our struggles.

Everyone struggles at times, and there should be no shame in asking for help.

Here at Serenity Psychotherapy, we have an array of therapists with various specializations, such as depression, anxiety, relationship, substance abuse, and parenting problems.

Here are two things I think are important about therapy: 1) People can find relief for symptoms like worry, loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, and craving; and 2) People can build psychological strength. Psychological strength allows people to have more fulfilling relationships, use their capacities more effectively, and bring more flexibility and creativity to problems in living.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

I am a bicultural, bilingual, and Latinx therapist. My goal is to create and provide a safe space for clients.

In my experience, all of us will ultimately experience problems that seem to overwhelm our normal abilities to cope. Life is hard and we need outlets to process those difficult times. I’ve worked with a variety of clients that have experienced anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, codependency, PTSD, substance abuse/addiction, anger management, marital/relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma & abuse, stress management and OCD. All of my sessions are currently virtual.

I believe that the relationship and trust built in therapy are the most important and necessary agents for meaningful, lasting change, and that compassionate care is essential to your feeling validated and empowered throughout the process. Without these connections, even the most qualified and well-intentioned therapist may fail in attempting to help. As such, I devote much time and energy in my sessions towards developing and enhancing therapeutic relationships, making sure to always listen carefully and empathically, so as to fully understand the sensitive issues discussed from your perspective and at your pace.
