Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Erie, PA

My background has been shaped by walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult and vulnerable experiences. I began working in hospice care, where I learned the importance of presence, compassion, and creating space for grief and meaning at the end of life. From there, I moved into intensive case management and addiction counseling in a methadone clinic, supporting individuals navigating substance use, trauma, and significant life challenges. Over time, my work has focused more deeply on individuals living with complex trauma, dissociation, personality disorders, severe mental illness, and experiences of domestic violence. These experiences have taught me how important it is to move gently, build trust at a pace that feels safe, and truly meet people where they are. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental presence into the therapy room, with the understanding that healing often begins in feeling seen, understood, and not alone.

Welcome!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience working with children and their families. I have also spent a number of years working in inpatient settings with both adults and adolescents.

I have spent 5 years working with individuals navigating narcissistic abuse, intimate relationship conflict, complex trauma, life transitions, chronic anxiety, neurodivergence, depression, BPD, grief, bipolar disorder, addiction, vocational stress, and more. My experience has taught me that while every person’s story is unique, our need for connection and agency is universal.

​I hold a Master’s in Community Agency Counseling from Hampton University. Beyond my formal education, I am deeply committed to ongoing training in neurobiology and trauma-informed care. This means I don't just look at your thoughts—I look at how your nervous system is responding to the world around you.

Hello there!

Reaching out can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already carrying a lot. My first priority is creating a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and respected. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and move toward the life you want to live. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors, and I strive to bring authenticity, curiosity, and practical support to every session.

Hello! As a licensed professional counselor, I want to help you achieve your best self. Asking for help can be difficult, so it's great that you are looking into getting help. I have been in practice for 10 years and look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.
