Welcome!
My purpose as your counselor is to empower you to discover what truly motivates you. I’m deeply committed to helping people live more fulfilling and satisfying lives. I believe that every person possesses unique strengths, talents, and abilities—and my goal is to help you uncover these qualities and build a life of purpose and meaning.
Helping others is my true passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to do this work every day.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transitions or significant changes—whether it’s a career shift, marriage or divorce, relocation, educational transitions, parenting challenges, or grief and loss. Life transitions affect everyone differently. Some may feel fear, uncertainty, or resistance, while others may face change with excitement. Regardless of where you are emotionally, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself and explore what these changes mean for you.
Through this process, we’ll work together to find clarity, confidence, and joy in your journey.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania, a Certified Co-occurring Disorders Specialist, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Shippensburg University. Over the past 14+ years, I’ve worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including family-based therapy, outpatient and intensive outpatient mental health and substance use programs, residential treatment, and private practice trauma therapy.
Outside the Office
In my free time, I enjoy being active outdoors—walking, running, hiking, kayaking—and spending time with loved ones. I also raise service dogs, attend dirt track races, meditate, and love curling up with a good book. Family and friendship are at the heart of my life, and I find joy in making memories every step of the way.
