Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC, NCC) who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and substance use or behavior patterns they want to change. I also support clients working through trauma, identity development, and feeling “stuck” in cycles that no longer serve them.

I have been supporting clients in therapeutic settings since 2015, providing counseling/therapy services at inpatient substance use/mental health programs and outpatient programs since 2019. I have been licensed in the state of PA since 2024.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to you rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we’ll start by talking through what’s been going on for you and what made you decide to reach out now. We’ll look at what’s been difficult, what you’d like to change, and any important context that helps me understand your situation. You don’t need to have everything figured out—we’ll start making sense of it together.
