I support individuals struggling with anxiety, anger, emotional regulation and grief. Especially those who feel overwhelmed, on edge, or quick to react but don’t fully understand why. Many of my clients are used to holding everything together for others: parents, caregivers, first responders, high stress professionals and often feel like there’s no space for their own emotions. Together, we focus on understanding triggers, building practical coping skills, and learning how to respond instead of react...so you can feel more in control, steady, and clear in your daily life. And yes, I give “homework” between sessions so growth continues outside our time together. I teach practical coping tools along with strength-focused strategies so you can stop just surviving and start thriving. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience and a certified grief counselor supporting individuals through loss, complicated grief, and major life transitions. I accept Aetna, Geisinger and several other major insurance plans in Pennsylvania, as well as self-pay. Virtual sessions are available to make therapy accessible for busy schedules.
The first session is a chance to slow down and talk through what’s been weighing on you. We’ll focus on what brought you in, what feels most important right now, and what you’d like to work toward. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction and, simple tools to start feeling more supported right away.
Sessions are collaborative and interactive, focused on meaningful progress not just talking about the problem. My work focuses on building confidence, strengthening boundaries, improving communication, and helping you respond rather than react so you can feel calmer and more grounded in daily life.
I love working with people navigating a situational crisis or adjusting to new life challenges, especially those who are motivated to grow but don’t yet have the tools to get there. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious about your life, and unsure of what steps to take next. Together, we create clarity, build practical skills, and help you move forward with more confidence and direction.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I integrate DBT techniques such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness into sessions in a practical, supportive way. My approach focuses on helping clients apply these skills in real-life situations so they can feel more grounded, in control, and confident between sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In CBT, we focus on recognizing and building patterns of thoughts and behaviors. Together, we learn strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, strengthen coping skills, and create habits that support your goals for personal growth.
Grief Therapy
I help clients honor and process their loss, while discovering their inner strengths. Together, we explore ways to find meaning, build resilience, and build a path toward renewed hope and empowerment.
Strength-Based
Together, we identify your strengths and amplify them so you can navigate life's challenges with confidence and create meaningful change.
Trauma Informed Care
I use a trauma-informed approach that centers safety and empowerment. We gently explore how past experiences affect you today while helping you feel supported and in control as you heal.
