Greetings and thank you for considering me as your provider for mental health services! I am a board certified, licensed professional counselor with a doctorate degree in clinical psychology. I find a tremendous amount of satisfaction in assisting individuals, couples, and families through some of life’s greatest difficulties. Whether you are struggling with a chronic psychiatric condition, or facing an extremely difficult time in your life and are not sure what to do next, my commitment to you is walking with you and finding resolution.

We are a friendly mental health practice that has been providing outstanding and affordable therapy for adults, couples, families, teens, and children since 1985. Our compassionate and caring team of licensed clinicians offer diverse expertise and are dedicated to helping people manage life's challenges. With eight locations in PA, and two locations in New Jersey. We offer flexible scheduling options, and we are able to offer appointments during the daytime, evening and weekends for your convenience. In addition, we accept most insurance plans.

At times, we may we find ourselves feeling unmotivated, sad and stuck. Change can feel like a struggle or an endless loop of problems repeating themselves. I believe we all have tools for change inside us, but we don't always recognize them. I help people locate their strengths so they can change long standing, unhelpful behavior patterns to make positive and lasting changes. At this time, I am offering TELEHEALTH to clients.

In working with clients my hope has always been to work with people who are asking for help. Working with people who struggle with mood disorders, relationship struggles, and those who simply want to get to know themselves better. Whether that is addressing self-esteem, purpose, addiction, helping others gain confidence or direction, my goal has always been to give people a better sense of who they are.

Accepting new clients! My experience is supporting teens, adults and families through challenging times in their lives. I enjoy working with teenagers (14+), young adults, people who identify as women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people who are pregnant or postpartum. My specialty is helping people through life transitions, identification, and building community and balanced life.

I work with individuals using a “Person Centered” approach to treatment that seeks to identify strengths and meet each individual where they are. I believe we are able to work through and understand our own needs in our own way, so that we can better understand our story within the context of our lives to enact positive change. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples. I have experience working with Depression, anxiety, PTSD, various serious persistent mental illnesses, and developing social skills and boundary setting skills in interpersonal relationships.

CURRENTLY ONLY ACCEPTING TESTING CLIENTS, NO THERAPY CASES. I specialize in providing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of adolescents/adults throughout the lifespan with dementia, brain injury, learning disabilities, ADHD, and psychiatric disorders affecting cognitive functioning and wellness. I provide diagnostic evaluations for veterans through the VA. I perform Independent Medical Evaluations for disability insurance companies. I do guardianship evaluations for the courts. I am board certified in clinical neuropsychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology.

I help individuals and couples to overcome their challenges and find more fulfillment and success in everyday life, guiding them to attain the personal growth they're striving for. I understand the struggles that accompany a busy or demanding lifestyle, and the fears and anxiety that can arise when life suddenly changes course. I can help guide you through the chaos that can often distract us from our ultimate goals.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience in the field of counseling. My approach to counseling is strengths-based, with a focus on helping you to find the positive solutions for your concerns. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, families, and couples. I have experience working with survivors of domestic abuse as well as sexual assault.

I provide individual and group counseling services as well as educational programs across the life span. I operate from an existential, humanistic, person-centered philosophy that emphasizes meaning in one's life, self-actualization, responsibility, and relationships. I view counseling from a tripartite approach where I assist my clients with self-awareness, gaining knowledge, and developing strategies to manage effectively and successfully the various transitions they are experiencing in their lives. I employ my diverse training and integrate a multiplicity of therapeutic interventions that yield optimum results for the individual.

I enjoy working with individual adults and couples on issues including improved communication, men's issues, recovery from sexual addiction, anger management, healing from past hurts.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience, it is my passion to assist individuals and couples in their quest for renewed hope amid life’s troubles.
