You may look like you’re holding everything together on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to move forward. I work with individuals who are insightful and self-aware, yet find themselves repeating emotional cycles, struggling with boundaries, or navigating complex cultural or relational dynamics. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive. I help clients understand themselves more clearly and make more intentional, aligned choices. I provide virtual therapy to clients across Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, State College, and surrounding areas.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA with 5+ years of clinical experience. I am trained in DBT and integrate evidence-based approaches, including person-centered and feminist therapy. I have extensive experience supporting clients who feel powerless or helpless in their lives to gradually regain a sense of agency and find their own way forward.
Starting therapy can feel uncertain, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. Book an intake through my Headway scheduling link on this profile, or Google Gentle Path Therapy, LLC to learn more about my practice. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation.
