I am a LPC in PA with 35+ years of experience treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship concerns. I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, providing trauma-informed care in a safe space to heal emotional harm. I also support spiritual growth, offering room to process the crisis of faith that often follows abuse. Along with clinical training, my lived experience as a survivor uniquely equips me to partner with women through healing. In today’s climate, women of color face added stressors from racism, stigma, and daily micro-aggressions. My work offers culturally affirming care that nurtures strength and restores hope.

Is your teen or young adult drifting away while struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma? You may feel a growing "relatability gap" as they navigate neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ identity, adoption, or cultural shifts that feel worlds away from your own. You see them hurting—perhaps even facing suicidality—and feel helpless as the foundational trust between you frays. You want to be their "secure base," the person they turn to in a crisis, but right now, communication feels like a minefield. You are looking for a way to support your child's autonomy while restoring the bond that makes them feel safe at home.

You’ve spent years showing up for others — in your work, your relationships, your family. You’ve built a life, or tried to, but inside something still doesn’t feel right. You may be carrying trauma, addiction, anxiety, or a quiet emotional overwhelm that doesn’t match the life you’ve worked so hard to create. You’ve tried to push through, or solve it alone, but it hasn’t brought the clarity or peace you hoped for. Deep down, you want something real: to feel connected, safe, and alive — to live with more choice, presence, and meaning.

You've probably tried therapy before. Maybe it helped — a little. Maybe it felt like going through motions that were designed for someone else's life. If shame, substances, sex, or trauma are part of what you're carrying, I want you to know: there's a way through. Healing from trauma and compulsive behaviors requires a space where you can be your whole self without fear of judgment. By blending a sex-positive, harm-reduction lens with trauma-informed care and specific techniques like EMDR, I help you decode the patterns keeping you stuck. If you're ready to reclaim your narrative and find balance, let's start that work together.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
