Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I have always had a bit of a different approach to healing than traditional therapy. My studies have been both in counseling and in spiritual arts, including astrology, chakras and energy/sound healing. Each of us has certain patterns, ways we exist in this world. This brings us preferences and personality traits. I can help you to better understand yourself, your needs and to use your energies most effectively. Healing blockages frees you from past traumas and current emotional patterns. I can help you to shift your life to more ease, joy and peace through understanding and release.

I specialize in supporting clients who value a gentle, explorative approach and seek a therapist with a holistic perspective. For those who prefer harm reduction and transparency, I offer a less clinical approach, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship above all else.

With a strong foundation in community care, I am committed to providing support that is transparent, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs.

For over 25+ years, I have been providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults in the Newtown and Langhorne area . Sometimes life throws curve balls. Children and teens can struggle at home and at school. Parenting may be challenging. Separation and divorce often stresses families, and the death of someone close can leave you grieving, sad and depressed. I use my extensive experience to help you find resolution with these issues and the ability to move forward.

With concrete skills, acceptance, growth and meaning can begin to heal the past. By understanding the painful narratives we sometimes unconsciously reinforce, we can start to let go of the hurt related to addiction, depression and anxiety.

My ideal client wants something better, has no idea what "better" is or looks like, and has no idea where to start. They are still determining if they are ready to start or commit to that change. What they need is a person and a space to figure it out. Deep down, they know where they are right now can be better, whether in relationships, emotions, daily habits, major life goals, or anything in-between. But, most importantly, they want a space where they can process and grow from that place and build a sustainable life.
