Great to meet you!

Therapy with me isn't about fitting you into a protocol — it's about figuring out what's actually going on and building something that works for your real life. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania, and I work with individuals, couples, and children across a wide range of concerns: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, postpartum struggles, infertility, parenting stress, self-esteem, and more. I bring genuine warmth and zero judgment to every session. You don't have to perform okayness here.

My approach to therapy

I pull from several evidence-based approaches — including CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and play therapy for younger clients — because what works depends entirely on who you are and what you're carrying. I'm direct when that serves you and patient when you need space. My job isn't to tell you what to do — it's to help you see things clearly enough to decide for yourself.

What you can expect from me

Expect a real conversation, not an intake checklist. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, what's been going on, and what you're hoping life looks like when things are better. You won't leave with homework or a diagnosis on day one — you'll leave knowing I heard you and with a clearer sense of what we're working toward together. In-person sessions are available in Harrisburg; telehealth is available across Pennsylvania.
