Therapist

For more than 30 years, I have been helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and build stronger, healthier relationships. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma, significant life stressors, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and develop a greater sense of peace, resilience, and self-confidence.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Temple University and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Catawba College. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to meeting each client where they are and helping them create meaningful, lasting change.

My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

It’s exhausting to live a life that feels more like a performance than an experience. You may feel heavy with the weight of "doing"—meeting expectations while losing the quiet essence of "being." Whether navigating the hollow ache of loss, the fog of depression, or the echoes of trauma, I know how it feels to be a stranger to yourself. Therapy begins when you decide you can no longer just "push through." We move forward by creating space for your pain to be heard. It's a journey of reclamation: stripping away the noise to rediscover the resilient, authentic soul that has been waiting for you all along.
