I currently have a few openings during the day on Mondays via telehealth or in-person. Due to the limited availability, please message to see if our schedules align. I understand that reaching out can be difficult, especially when not feeling your best. I reply as soon as I'm available to at least touch base. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally worn out, therapy can help you understand what is happening and create meaningful change that carries into everyday life. The first step is simply saying hello and together we decide how I can best meet your needs.
I believe you are the expert on your life, and I bring an open-minded, empowering, and solution-focused style to our work. In sessions, I will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and honesty while helping you explore patterns, process hard experiences, and take manageable steps forward. Clients describe me as easy to talk to, grounded, and supportive.
I invite you to visit my online booking page to schedule a call or quick meet with no obligation. Online therapy makes it easier to get support from anywhere in PA. I hold in-person sessions on Mondays in Franklin, PA. I'd be happy to connect and learn more about how I can support you.

I work with individuals who may be struggling with life stressors, relationship issues, anxiety or depression. I focus on meeting you where you are at. This means you drive the sessions and set the pace. I believe individuals discuss issues when they are ready. It is possible to cope with the effects of having experienced trauma without reliving it.

One size fits most can work for clothing, but not therapy. Yes, certain therapy models are shown to be more effective with specific diagnoses. I enjoy getting to know you and tailoring our plan to guide you towards feeling accomplished. I'm flexible to shift gears and allow you to guide me. I would let you know if your needs are best met with another specialist, as one therapist does not fit all.
