Great to meet you!

Licensed in CA and PA, I have a deep understanding of women's issues, offering a safe space for women to explore their unique struggles and find empowerment. I also help guide clients through the various phases of life, whether it's adjusting to major life transitions, managing anxiety and depression, or helping those in ministry find balance and purpose. Additionally, I work collaboratively with couples to strengthen their relationships and restore harmony.

A bit about my approach to therapy

With a warm, compassionate and holistic approach, to therapy, I help individual clients process what is happening in their lives to move toward wholeness and thriving.

I work with relationships at any stage to bring about deeper connection and a new experience of relationship dynamics.

My therapy style is influenced by my Christian faith, and I believe that faith can be a powerful source of healing and resilience.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel heard and understood. When you work with me, you can expect a therapist who is dedicated to your well-being, drawing from both clinical expertise and a theologically integrated perspective to help you navigate life's challenges and discover your inner strength. I often tend to work long term in order for change to last. I look forward to joining you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.
