I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with several years of experience working with diverse populations of adult individuals and couples. One of the core values that guides my treatment approach is the belief that nothing happens in isolation. I firmly believe that every behavior, thought and feeling has underlying reasons and meanings that deserve exploration. With genuine care and empathy, I help you uncover the root of your struggles, empower you to gain insight and achieve lasting growth. I am committed to supporting you every step of the way and I cannot wait to meet you and be a part of your wellness journey!

I offer online and in-person sessions in the state of Pennsylvania. My main focus are: Premarital Counseling, Couples Therapy including Couples Communication & Conflict, Healing After an Affair, Sex Therapy, Self-Esteem, Anxiety & Depression, Burnout Recovery & Stress Management, Life Adjustments, Grief and Loss, Meaning and Motivation Loss.

I don't discriminate against religion, ethnicity, culture, race, disability, gender or sexual orientation. I'm a culturally sensitive, trauma informed and systemic individual & couples therapist. I'm trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, PREPARE/ENRICH, and a clinical member of American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
