Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master Degree from California State University and I've been practicing therapy for over 12 years. I grew up in Italy and moved to the US 42 years ago. I'm a mother and a grandmother and I love to support the community where I lived for 30 years. In my personal life I've experienced losses, single parenthood and the challenge of acculturation. I work with adult men and women struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and relationships. I'm passionate about helping them live more fulfilling relationships and peaceful life. My practice is guided by my professional experience and education, as well as loving kindness and compassion.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lancaster

Searching for therapists in Lancaster starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Lancaster therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and population experience that connect to your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, what sessions may be like, and whether their background feels relevant to what you want from care.

Lancaster has local therapy options, and virtual sessions can add more flexibility if you want a wider range of appointment times or prefer care from home. As you narrow your search, consider practical details like whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that fit your schedule, and provides in-person or virtual appointments. You can also look for a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask about fit before booking an initial session.

Therapy in Lancaster can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
