Great to meet you!

I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania and hold additional certification in treating Complex-PTSD (CCTP-II).

I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, particularly C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and those who have co-occurring diagnoses. I use an integrated style that I modify for each client's needs. What does all that mean? It means I'm going to meet you where you are and build from there.

My approach to therapy

A sense of trust and safety is my first goal. I strive to understand your inner world and to attune to your individual experience throughout our time together. My approach is relational, interpersonal, and highly person-centered. While working with me you can expect warmth, empathy, and humor. I strive to create a space where you can fully be your authentic self to laugh, cry, celebrate, and grow.

What you can expect from me

I believe every individual has the right to self-determination and autonomy, and because of that I view my role in our therapeutic relationship as your guide. You know the direction you want to go. So, I'll be there to help you navigate the dark or scary parts of your journey, help you create and find safety within yourself, and guide you back to that safety through attunement when needed. I see our relationship as collaborative. When you need a gentle push, I'll be there. When you need help exploring different perspectives, I got you.
