Therapy is a space that allows you to identify what is getting in your way and learn how to move towards where you want to be. I focus on helping you build insight around your experiences so you can identify what changes can be made as well as what skill building can be done to create the outcomes you are looking for. I work with people who have symptoms from anxiety, depression, trauma or addiction by using a person centered approach that both validates your experience and supports you in the change you are working towards.

Hi! — I'm really glad you found your way here. College life can be amazing, but it can also be seriously overwhelming. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, past trauma, or just trying to figure things out, you're not alone. I've spent the past 20 years working with teens and young adults through all kinds of ups and downs. My goal is to give you a safe, honest space to talk, process, and start feeling more like yourself again. If faith is important to you, I also offer Christian counseling as part of our work together — but it's always up to you. No pressure, no judgment — just support for wherever life has you right now.

I offer virtual therapy in PA, MI, and MN. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience across a variety of settings. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Mercyhurst University and master's degree in social work from Edinboro University. I have experience working with adults in community mental health and residential treatment for substance use disorders. I use evidence-based practices including: CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Behavioral Activation. I provide strength-based, personalized therapy that empowers clients to take control of their mental health and work towards their goals. My approach to counseling is collaborative and client centered. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide guidance, support, and a framework for your journey. Our first session is a chance to explore what's bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. Over time, we'll work together to identify repeated emotional patterns, develop coping strategies, and new ways of responding to life's challenges.

Asking for help can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be! You don’t have to suffer in silence or figure it out alone. Are you ready to name what you need? Are you ready to be authentically you? Are you ready to confront the things you’ve been avoiding, set goals, and crush them? These are just a few questions some of my clients might ask themselves as they prepare to engage in therapy. If you are ready to take steps on your journey, I am dedicated to providing the supportive, compassionate and authentic environment for you to succeed, so send the message, let’s connect! I recieved my Bachelors in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2013, and obtained my Masters in Social Work and Evidence Based Trauma Treatment Certificate in 2018.

Coming to therapy for the first time can feel daunting. We all crave familiarity, so stepping into growth often brings discomfort—but that discomfort can serve as a catalyst for transformation. As a therapist, I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, offering support through the process of self-discovery. I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly and without judgment. I view my role as a collaborative partner in helping you untangle what feels overwhelming, while honoring that you are the expert in your own life. My approach to therapy is intuitive, curious, and deeply client-centered. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), tailoring techniques to best address each individual’s needs. I believe that strong therapeutic relationships are built on empathy, patience, and authenticity. As we work together, I’ll offer a balance of support and challenge, helping you move toward the changes you’re seeking at a pace that feels right for you.

Hello! I am a mental health therapist (LLC). I offer both in person and virtual mental health therapy appointments. I have a wide range of experiences and am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe that counseling is a collaborative process where clients are able to explore within a safe, affirmative, and compassionate space. By centering on the client’s voice and experience, healing is supported with self-empowerment and compassion. I also recognize that there are connections between the mind and body which can allow for alternative methods of healing to be explored so the best fit can be found for each individual. My current clinical interests include concerns related to sex, sexuality, and gender identity as well as life phase adjustments and relational issues. While interested in learning many psychological techniques, I maintain a framework focused on existential theory and strengths-based practices.

Accepting the journey, we've been on and the need for change can feel overwhelming. Often therapy is seen as a one-sided conversation, let's change that narrative together. As your therapist, it is important to me to create a relationship where you feel safe and supported. We can explore what acceptance, healing, and growth means to you and create a plan to achieve those goals. I am passionate about working with teens and adults experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, women's mental health, PTSD, and identity development. I offer engaging, honest conversation to encourage accountability towards growth and acceptance. I believe that you have the capacity for growth when you feel seen, heard, and respected. Bring your emotional support water bottle or coffee and let's get to work on creating the best version of yourself.
