Are you looking to expand your awareness surrounding trauma, losses and other unexpected changes in life?
I bring compassion and a nonjudgemental stance to our sessions and seek to discover your values, collaborate on your goals and encourage you to set boundaries to move towards your authentic self.
Most clients I see have anxiety, depression or are and life transitions. I aim to meet you where you are and explore early attachments that may be influencing your current thoughts and emotions. I often will incorporate somatic exercises to promote awareness around the mind and body and to ground our sessions.
I am EMDR trained (EMBRIA approved) and recently received my certification in Gestalt Therapy. These methods include gently and confidently addressing trauma and encouraging a more rapid path to healing.
I graduate with my MS from Lock Haven in May, recently voted the best Clinical Mental Health program in the state. I also have a Masters in Fine Art!
I bring a creative spirit to my sessions as an artist and advocate for eclectic modalities.
The connection between therapist and client is the most important indicator of success in therapy. Let’s connect today so we can begin your healing journey!

Groups
Childfree by Choice

Your milestones, your choices. They are important and deserve to be recognized. We understand how hard it can be when societal pressures around having children feel overwhelming. The expectations, the comments, the constant reminder that you're “supposed” to follow a certain path—it can take a toll on your mental health. And not having a community to talk about it? That’s isolating. There are so many others going through the same thing--they want to connect with you, share experiences, + laugh about the things no one else gets. You deserve a space to speak openly and be heard.
