I work with a diverse range of individuals, with a focus on those struggling with anxiety and depression. I also specialize in men's mental health, addressing a variety of issues particularly relevant to men's experiences and challenges. My approach includes encouraging men to express a full range of emotions and challenging traditional societal expectations that may discourage vulnerability. This work explores societal expectations and stereotypes to foster a healthier, more open emotional experience. Additionally, I also work with children and adolescents, including those with Autism.

Life can be rough and its easy to get into a place where one may feel overwhelmed or stuck. Its hard to find solutions, make decisions, or find a path out and it's often helpful to talk to a genuine and supportive person that can help to untangle all the things that race through one's mind when we are in a tough spot.

The In-network plans that I am associated with are BlueCross & BlueShield, Cigna & Evernorth, Geisinger, Highmark, and Optum.
People are powerful agents of change. If change, healing, and/or growth are your goals - counseling could be the setting you need to reach exactly what you need. Clients who want accountability and a space in their schedule to sift through their thoughts and goals will go far in the process!

I work with individuals who are seeking to better understand themselves, process their experiences, and heal from hurt. Mental health is health. Most of us have not been taught to think critically about our life experiences, emotions, and triggers, we're simply just reacting and not understanding why we're struggling. In my practice, I work with people to make connections, heal from past hurts, and understand their feelings. I specialize in working with women, but provide services to men and folks anywhere across the gender spectrum.

Unfortunately, I am unable to work with Medicare, Geisinger Family, Geisinger Gold, and Medical Assistance programs.
Do you struggle with feelings that affect your relationships? Do you put your needs at the bottom of your to-do list? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed while trying to find their place in the world. Ignoring your needs and giving too much of yourself can lead to long-term issues for the mind and body. Therapy is a perfect way to learn more about yourself and take control of your life. I specialize in working with adults who are motivated and ready to learn more about themselves. Are you a caregiver for someone with a chronic illness or dementia? I have vast experience helping caregivers cope with life's challenges.
