Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and I work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and family struggles. Over the years, I’ve supported families facing tough transitions, kids on the autism spectrum, and people who are trying to rebuild after life has knocked them down.

My style is down-to-earth, supportive, and focused on helping you feel stronger and more hopeful. In our sessions, you’ll have space to be heard without judgment while we work together to move toward the goals that matter most to you.
