I work with adults navigating through intrusive thoughts, anxiety, perfectionism, or mental rituals often connected to OCD, PTSD, or overlapping symptoms that do not quite have a clear name yet.

Together, we focus on building clarity, lasting relief, and practical tools to feel more grounded, fully present and themselves.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when your brain won’t slow down, your emotions feel heavy, or you’re stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift. If you're neurospicy, anxious, depressed, navigating trauma, or even a gamer who knows you need to “touch grass,” you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
I work with adults who are tired of overthinking, burned out, and feeling stuck. Together, we focus on helping you understand your mind, build practical strategies, and start feeling more grounded and in control of your life again.

I enjoy working with people of all kinds, but I work best with people that are ready to engage in therapy with active participation. I work best with people that are able to be vulnerable, trusting, and not necessarily looking for easy answers to complicated issues. I value mutual respect, openness, and a desire to be a positive part of our world.

In settings from a community mental health clinic to a housing first agency, I’ve been fortunate to learn so much from my clients as they contend with issues related to grief and loss, addiction, depression and anxiety, life stage transitions, trauma and abuse, or other difficulties that find us in this life. My approach is to lead with curiosity about your experience, align with you to form a strong working bond and remain focused on engaging in this work side-by-side. Our work will be successful not only when you begin to feel better, but also when you gain a deeper knowledge of ways to maintain those mental gains!

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.

I work with adults who are ready to stop suffering in silence and begin the process of healing and recovery from mental health concerns and/or substance use disorders. I support individuals who are willing to explore their experiences openly while learning practical skills and tools that promote insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
Many of the individuals I work with are motivated to change but may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. Together, we focus on identifying goals, resolving internal ambivalence, and developing personalized plans for change through honest and collaborative conversations.

You may have spent much of your life feeling different, misunderstood, or like you were "too much" or "not enough." Perhaps you're highly sensitive, neurodivergent, or carrying the effects of trauma, chronic stress, or neglect. The ways you've learned to protect yourself—and how your nervous system responds—have been shaped by your neurotype, life experiences, or both. While these patterns once helped you cope, they may now leave you feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or disconnected. I don't see you as broken—I see someone whose responses make sense in the context of what you've experienced.

I believe so many of us already have the capacity to become our best selves, but something gets in the way. Past experiences, anxiety, patterns we’ve learned, or ways we’ve had to cope that no longer serve us.
Together, we look at what’s underneath those patterns and begin to gently remove the things that are no longer helping you grow.
My approach is warm, supportive, and real. I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are; while also helping you move forward in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to you.

With more than 15 years of experience working with survivors of sexual assault, I understand the unique difficulties they may face and provide a safe, supportive, and compassionate space for healing.
