I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Equestrian, Yoga Teacher, Student of Life... I am curious, interested, hungry for more...I am tattooed, spry, witty...I say these things not to brag about myself, but to simple put out the intention behind Pathways to Peace. I am not defined by a single aspect, of my life and neither are you! That being said, considering we are all unique beings with our individual needs, qualities and experiences, how is it reasonable to expect one to follow one path of healing, typically traditional psychotherapy and/or medication management?

In my experience, inside every person there is a psychological center, like a ‘Light’ leading us to love, healing, joy and growth. In a deep place in each of us, it is always present, though sometimes hidden. Known by many different names and through many different senses - center, core, soul, real-self, heart or unconscious, it is wise and kind and delights to do no harm, and intends only good. We all have a longing to connect to this profound potential, goodness and love within ourselves, within others and in all. I enjoy supporting folks in their journey back to this connection.

I work with clients who are want to heal and grow. If you are grieving, struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life stressors, feeling stuck.... or anything in between, this is a place for you. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I also offer Clinical Supervision for those working towards your LCSW in Pennsylvania or your LCSW-C in Maryland.

I often view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients are those with medical illness or injury, caregivers, mothers, or trauma survivors who are faced with the impact that change in their physical self has on their mental and emotional well-being. Clients often wish to explore the mind-body connection, integrate non-verbal approaches, or find a new perspective on therapy. I also work with infants and children who deserve the same compassionate care, but don't benefit from verbal therapy in the same way.

Do you find yourself lying awake at night with racing thoughts and worries? Are you exhausted all day, yet you just can’t seem to sleep at night? Are you worried about the impact of sleeplessness on your health, relationships and career? Are fatigue and brain fog making it hard to be present and ‘in the moment’? Perhaps you’re concerned about the health impact of sleep medications or realizing that medications and supplements simply aren’t working like they first did. You've explored many solutions and are eager to find one that truly works.

As a trauma-informed counselor, I clinically treat the client's symptoms with a talk-and-body therapeutic approach. I teach my clients coping strategies that are tweaked to be adaptive to the ASD/ADHD child/adult's neurodiversity in addition to the neurotypical populations' symptoms/sensory intrusions that are known or unknown reason(s) for the client's behavior(s) like anxiety mismanagement or a spontaneous violent outburst that at any age often do self-sabotage one's hoped for a good outcome(s).

Overwhelming experiences can leave us feeling anxious, doubtful and depressed. This may be right after the experience or some time later. I provide a safe, supportive relationship in order to help resolve those difficult feelings, but also to find a deeper understanding of the impact trauma had on you and your path to healing and thriving. I am available for telehealth in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, DC, Georgia, Illinois Kansas Kentucky Maine Maryland Minnesota Missouri Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia West Virginia, Wisconsin

At some point, you may find yourself in need of a little extra support. Maybe someone non-judgmental to listen to you and to hear what you have to say. Perhaps you need a safe space to process something with a therapist who can help you find your own answers. If you are feeling out of control or if you are struggling with life’s challenges, seeking help is an excellent way to start the process of healing. Together, however, we can work collaboratively to identify and reach your goals to create essential changes in your life.

I'm a mixed race, queer, and first generation American therapist that emphasizes building community and receiving community support. I believe that being connected to our own selves and others helps foster growth as my clients and I continue to strive for the goals that have been set in therapy. Additionally, I believe in the importance of exploring my client's full selves in the context of their sociocultural identities.

I specialize in counseling people who are caring for loved ones (partners, aging relatives, friends/neighbors, children with disabilities) to better cope with the emotional and practical challenges of caregiving.
