Grief counselors and therapists in Media, PA

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Transformative Journey Counseling, LLC. I hold a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College and a Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis from Saint Joseph’s University. I also earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University.

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, and adjustment-related challenges. My work focuses on empowering clients to gain insight, build resilience, and find healthy ways to cope and grow through life’s transitions.

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of Mindful Balance & Wellness. I provide evidence-based psychiatric care while incorporating an integrative approach that considers the connection between mental health, lifestyle, and overall well-being.

I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. I’m particularly interested in how factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and hormonal changes can impact mental health, and I continue to expand my training in integrative and functional psychiatry to better support my patients.

I take time to listen and understand your full story, not just your symptoms. My goal is to create a personalized plan that helps you feel better, function better, and regain a sense of balance in your life.

I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.

I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:

• Anxiety and stress
• Depression
• Trauma-related experiences
• Grief and loss
• Burnout and compassion fatigue
• Life transitions
• Self-Esteem
• Relationship and family patterns

I am concerned about the well being of my patients. I let the patient let me know what the goals of therapy are as well as what challenges they are facing.
