I am a 58 yo mother of three college age daughters
I am a reflective and thoughtful( aka sensitive) person who uses art to seek deeper insight
I value knowledge , hard work, kindness and consideration above all else....
If I find myself on a certain lake in Maine , I am in heaven
I encourage others to find a similar place where, they too,, find the true self (and a spirit animal)!
Since I usually take the road less traveled , it has made all the difference to me because, the harder path contained many personal challenges
Had I have taken the more traveled road , I would not be nearly as interesting or as resilient as I am today
Dogs and horses have always been by my side and they never disappoint
They have been my wisest teachers and have shown me the path to simplicity, contentment and unconditional love
For that am thankful ❤️

I am a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s story and strengths.
I integrate evidence-based practices—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems approaches—with a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and move toward lasting change.
I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship or family conflict, grief, identity transitions, and the effects of trauma. I also have extensive experience supporting people from diverse cultural and family backgrounds who are balancing multiple roles, expectations, and life transitions.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, down-to-earth, and empowering. Together, we’ll focus on uncovering your resilience, improving communication and connection, and finding practical strategies for growth and healing—so you can live with greater confidence, balance, and purpose.

Hi!
I have been in practice, providing therapy services since early 2022 when I began my internship at a community based mental health organization. I graduated with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kutztown University in 2023 and from this point on, I have worked with a vast population of individuals, coming from all backgrounds, mental health experiences and diagnoses. I became licensed in the state of Pennsylvania in January 2026. I largely specialize in addressing anxiety disorders, depression & mood disorders, stress & burnout along with grief and loss.

My ideal client is someone who may look like they are managing on the outside, but inside feels overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected. They may be navigating substance use concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, medical challenges, or life transitions. They want a warm, non-judgmental space where they can slow down, feel understood, and not have to carry everything alone. Their goals include greater emotional steadiness, healthier coping, clearer boundaries, and reconnecting with themselves so life feels more grounded, balanced, and meaningful. They come to therapy seeking relief, clarity, and authenticity.
I help individuals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out find support and balance. I enjoy working with anyone navigating substance use, trauma, or adjusting to medications for weight loss and their relationship with food. I offer a safe, collaborative, trauma-informed space that honors whole-person care.
Sometimes life feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelming, and it can be hard to reach out. I offer a warm, understanding space where you can feel heard and supported. If you’re ready to explore change, find balance, and reconnect with yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
