You are the expert on your own life. Through identifying goals and values, processing of major life events, implementation of healthy coping skills, re-establishing the mind-body connection, and whatever else fits your individual needs, we can work together to help you reach your ideal self.

My work centers on helping you understand and engage whatever it is that gets in the way of simply feeling comfortable in your own skin, and along with this, revealing a deeper and more vital sense of self. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to engage these blockages and imbalances in order to bring about a more natural, and more meaningful, way of relating to oneself and to others.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am passionate about creating a safe space for clients to feel at ease with me, especially because starting therapy can be intimidating. I see importance in helping others by being open and approachable, and valuing the importance of humor in the therapy space when appropriate. I completed my undergraduate degree from Penn State, and went on to obtain my Master’s in Counseling from Chatham University. I enjoy working with teens to adults. I have experience working with suicidality, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss of identity, and more.

As your therapist, I’ll walk alongside you in cultivating self-compassion, curiosity, and the courage to face life’s challenges. No two people are alike, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to your needs, history, and goals. My style is warm, grounded, and authentic, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I draw from trauma-informed, feminist, humanistic, psychoanalytic, relational, and existential perspectives to explore both the deeper roots of struggle and the possibilities for growth—with openness, curiosity, and meaningful, lasting change at the center.

If you find yourself constantly on edge, replaying conversations, or bracing for the next let‑down — you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me because they’re:
Stuck in people‑pleasing or over‑giving, quick to shut down or “go numb” when emotions run high, battling an inner critic that never lets up, struggling to set/keep healthy boundaries, and feeling torn between craving closeness and fearing it.
I can assist in untangling these survival patterns by practicing simple tools to calm an overwhelmed nervous system, turn down the volume on self‑doubt, and build the kind of relationships where you can breathe and speak up.

I combine deep empathy with a tailored blend of evidence-based therapies such as ERP (the gold standard for OCD), EMDR for trauma processing, and ACT for values-based living.
Persistent anxiety, OCD, unresolved trauma, deep grief, or chronic pain or illness can create an invisible weight you carry every day. You may be struggling with one condition, or several that overlap in ways that make healing feel out of reach. These experiences often interact in complex, highly individual ways that require specialized care. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I provide evidence-based, compassionate treatment tailored to you. My approach is collaborative, structured, and grounded in your values and goals. Together, we build a life guided not by fear, but by meaning, choice, and purpose.

While my training has focused intensely on DBT, CBT, and ACT skills, every individual is different and may require different therapeutic skills that can be discussed!
Life rarely slows down for very long. You may be navigating a serious personal crisis that feels overwhelming, or you may be a high-functioning professional managing burnout and daily stress. My practice is here to help with both: I can help assist with stabilization for the heavy moments and actionable strategies for the everyday ones.

You Are Enough.
If that statement feels hard to believe right now, you're not alone. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning themselves. Regardless of your history or the path your life has taken so far, you still have the ability to shape where you go next.
Rooted in person-centered and family systems frameworks, my approach is eclectic, reflecting that therapy is never "one size-fits-all". There are many things in life we can't control. Therapy is a space where you are in charge.

As a therapist, I emphasize exploring aspects of your life, recognizing strengths in what is working well and gently identifying patterns or behaviors that might be moving you away from your long-term goals. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, practical strategies, and authentic ways of connecting with yourself and others to enhance your emotional well-being.
My work with neurodiverse individuals focuses on self-advocacy, identifying neuroaffirming supports, and developing coping strategies aligned with your values. I strive to create a space where you can learn how neurodiversity may be impacting your experiences.
