The light within me sees the light within you. Hello and welcome. I’m a Pennsylvania licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate through life’s hardest challenges. At Light Within Wellness, I specialize in working with addiction & substance use, trauma & PTSD, grief & loss, mood & anxiety disorders, as well as the stress that comes with major life changes.
If you’re feeling stuck in patterns no longer serving you, weighed down by depression and anxiety, or overwhelmed by co-occurring challenges such as addiction and trauma, know that lasting change is possible, and closer than you think.
Through an interpersonal neurobiological lens, I integrate the proven tools of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I'm additionally trained in mindfulness meditation and offer a compassionate, trauma-informed perspective.
My focus is on helping you to uncover the light within yourself — to awaken the strength, clarity, and resilience you may not yet believe you have.
If you’re ready to feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward, I invite you to reach out today. Let’s begin your journey toward healing and living the life you were meant to live.
