We all need support at times and be proud of yourself for reaching out as it can be difficult. Stress, anxiety, depression, and trouble with life situations can lead to less satisfaction with life. Sometimes having healthy relationships and boundaries are difficult to achieve and having some help can make the process easier. I work with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, autism and ADHD. I am now accepting PA Health and Wellness Insurance.

My ideal client will be tired of therapists who sit there and don't say anything. I prioritize showing up as myself in session with clients. Together, we will create a treatment plan that considers your level of readiness to do the work; simply showing up to session and saying "I'm tired" is a perfect place to start - we don't have to climb a mountain! You can talk to me about the state of the world if that's the kind of day you're having. I help people navigate difficult situations, identify what it would mean to have a purposeful life, and cope with distressing thoughts or fears.

I specialize in helping adults and couples understand and heal the impact of trauma. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning and capable, yet feel overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or stuck in relationship patterns that don’t make sense. Trauma is not always a single event — it can be a series of experiences that shape how you see yourself and relate to others. These patterns often continue long after the original experiences have passed.

There are situations in life when you may feel it's too difficult to handle things on your own.

I have successfully treated a wide-range of issues including, but not limited to; grief, loss, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders. I have also successfully worked with couples who are dealing with infidelity and/or communication issues.

At times, life can feel overwhelming. As if you are just going through the motions of day-to-day life.

Do you feel stuck, and need help problem-solving, and/or getting unstuck? I am an integrative therapist that utilizes a Person-Centered, and Strength Based form of therapy derived from the Family Systems Model, as well as concepts from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques.
