I'm looking forward to meeting you! I'm a licensed clinical social worker and I graduated from West Chester University in 2019 with my master’s degree in social work. I’ve enjoyed providing care in mental health helping individuals, families, children, and adolescents to treat Autism, ADHD, stress, depression, and anxiety for over 7 years. Currently, I work full-time in intensive autistic support classrooms and part-time at New Beginnings Virtual Counseling LLC as a licensed outpatient therapist. I value working with people from all walks of life; to learn where you’ve been, where you currently are, and where you want to go.

Located in Newtown & Buckingham PA, Bucks LGBTQ Center is an affirming, safe space for members of the LGBTQ+ community and their families. We provide Masters and Doctoral level therapeutic support, professional educational trainings, and community events. Many of our providers have lived experience in the queer community in addition to extensive clinical training. Our providers specialize in working with transgender and gender expansive clients. We follow WPATH standards of care.

I specialize in issues related to sexual trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, parenting issues, marital infidelity and conflict, domestic violence and coercive abuse in relationships, grief, managing stress, managing chronic pain/illness, spiritual concerns and relationship issues. In addition, I also utilize Prepare Enrich resources for premarital counseling services. My counseling style is insight-oriented and psychodynamic, drawing from the individual's story to reveal patterns that may be prohibiting healthy relating.

In my 34 years of clinical experience, I have learned that people are far more capable of change than they realize. They change when they can make sense of both their thoughts and their feelings. Many people have been taught to use their head, but not their heart to understand themselves. They often do not understand the powerful impact of human emotion on the mind and body. My experience shows me that in order to truly grow and heal, people need to understand themselves differently to change. They also need to be respected for the knowledge that they already have.

My goal is to provide each client an opportunity to express their thoughts, and feelings, in a nonjudgmental safe space. It is central to me that you feel heard and understood. The therapeutic process is a collaborated approach meeting each individual where they are currently at, and developing a style that works best for their well-being. My style is warm and welcoming with an emphasis on interpersonal strength and the encouragement of positive mindsets to enhance daily functioning.

I have been a licensed psychologist in Pennsylvania since 2003, and practicing in the Bucks County area as a Christian therapist since 1991. I have experience dealing with a wide range of issues and working with children, adolescents, and adults, in addition to teaching at the graduate level. I get tremendous joy from seeing people take their troubling symptoms, the panic attacks, the depressed mood, the self-defeating patterns of relating, and use them to build the self-understanding and character strength necessary to boldly love and experience the kind of intimacy in relationships they never thought possible.

Everyone's journey in life is different, but invariably along the way we encounter some bumps in the road, or sometimes it seems they are more like mountains. Whatever has led you to seek help today, know that you are making a good decision by taking the first step toward finding a solution. My approach to therapy is individualized, with an emphasis on each person's unique needs and strengths. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the crucial elements to your success. It is through this collaboration that we can find solutions and restore balance to your life.

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths.

Thriving in families today is truly challenging. Family stress also tends to intensify during those sensitive periods of transition, especially where children are affected. My practice specializes in assisting parents navigate the complexities of divorce, co-parenting, re-marriage, and the creation of new stepfamilies. I also help families heal from estrangement, whether it is from a sibling or parent. While working with recently-divorced parents, I feel it is important to take a child-centered focus, where children are often caught in the middle of these adult battlegrounds.
