Great to meet you!

I am a masters level clinician who specializes in couples and family therapy. I am licensed in PA as a marriage and family therapist and bring 10+ years of experience in the mental health field. Also, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in various settings. I implement a solution-focused approach to help with mental health challenges, life changes, and goal setting. I am here to support you through tough times and cheer you on in your happy moments. I will bring warmth, understanding, ideas, and some humor.

My approach to therapy

I want you to feel more confident and assured about your life by the end of the session. I will work with you to develop a plan for what you are currently struggling with and/or figure out what methods aren’t working for you. Please let me know if something just isn’t you because you know yourself better than anyone else. I want you to feel like you’ve got this because you do!

What you can expect from me

You can expect that I will be supportive, objective, and determined to help you succeed. I will be in your corner and listen to what you want and need. I will be curious and detail-oriented to understand what you have tried and why it’s not working. I will collaborate with you to figure out what we can do to achieve your goals. I want you to leave feeling seen, heard, and prepared for the next step.
