Frequently rebooked
I am an EMDR certified, PA licensed therapist working with clients with all types of needs including PTSD, trauma, phobias, anxiety, sexual assault and abuse, relationship and parenting concerns. I have 30 years experience which includes supporting children, teens, adults, and families. I have many years of experience working at a mental health agency supporting individuals with a variety of diagnoses. I have extensive experience working in the Pennsylvania public education system. In my free time, I am a volunteer service dog puppy raiser with Canine Partners for Life and have worked as an Animal Assisted Play Therapist.
In our first session together, we will dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My greatest strengths are empathy, kindness, knowledge base, and humor.
I am experienced working with clients who have been challenged by distressing or traumatic life events who are ready to put in the work to improve their life, learn healthy coping, and feel positive about themselves with a non-judgmental, empathic therapist.
Using evidence-based practices such as EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, I aim to help clients uncover the root causes of their difficulties and support them on their journey toward healing and growth. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to helping clients achieve meaningful progress. I am welcoming new clients to my practice.
I specialize in helping adults and teens navigate challenges such as PTSD, trauma, phobias, anxiety, sexual assault, OCD, relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns. I am passionate about helping individuals address trauma and significant life events, empowering them to heal and create the best version of their lives. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
