Hi! I’m Nick, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Millersville University in 2023, and previously completed my Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Criminology from Penn State University in 2020. Over the years, I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, correctional, telehealth, and child-focused settings. I've provided comprehensive mental health assessments, individual psychotherapy and couples therapy at Peninsula Behavioral Health in Sequim, Washington from 2023-2024, as well as at Sun Point Wellness Center in Lancaster, PA from 2024-2026. I've also conducted group therapies at the Child Study Center at Penn State University from 2019-2020, as well as one at the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill in 2019, and at WellSpan York Hospital's Behavioral Health Unit in 2023. I share these experiences so you can have a clear idea of my background, because you deserve to be able to make an informed choice about your potential clinician. In our work together, I integrate elements of IFS-informed and attachment-based therapy with aspects of ACT, CBT, DBT, and emotionally-focused therapy. I tailor my interventions to what we feel like will be most helpful for you. However, more than any specific technique, I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship. Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down and simply breathe. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. We begin where you are, of course!

Hi everyone! My name is Stefanie, Trauma Specialist, Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Massage Therapist. As a trauma specialist, and very non-traditional therapist, I use both Body Work treatments & Psychotherapy to help you heal. Servicing PA and NJ, together we come up with a healing treatment plan personalized to you. I have a passion for helping Victims of violent crimes and a special focus on First Responders, LEO'S and Veterans. Also noted, I am an advocate for Mens mental health. Ready to heal? Prior to our first session, I offer a free 15 minute consultation! I am looking forward to working with you on YOUR healing journey !

Being unhappy can take you by surprise. Sometimes the cause of it seems clear, like a sudden break up or the death of someone close to you. Other times it’s harder to say. You might be in a relationship that no longer feels the way it once did. You may have moved to a new place or started a new job and find yourself unsettled. Or you may feel that everything is “going well,” yet still, for whatever reason, you just aren’t happy. If any of this sounds like you, I can help.I specialize in treating adults struggling with life transitions, dating and relationship problems, adhd and other neurodivergent experiences, and depression and loneliness. My background and style are in client centered, psychodynamic therapy, in which I can help you to work through both the imminent problems that brought you to therapy, as well as the sometimes more deeply hidden problems that precede and inform these present day problems. I have a decade of experience working in a number of clinical settings, and prior to that have a background in the humanities and philosophy. My own experience working through both psychological and philosophical questions informs my work with clients. I believe that therapy can be a great place to really work through your thoughts about your life, with the benefit of an outside participant who can listen with openness and curiosity.

I work with women navigating life transitions, including changes in relationships, family roles, and health. These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact. As a yoga therapist and yoga teacher for over 25 years, mindfulness is a natural part of my work and informs how I understand and approach the mind body connection. I integrate mindfulness based stress reduction, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy into sessions in a way that supports awareness and emotional regulation. My training as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida allows me to bring these approaches together in a way that is both clinically grounded and responsive to your experience.

I’m an LCSW who offers a safe, supportive, and if desred, spiritually grounded space for children, teens, and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, stress, or school and self-esteem challenges. I help clients process emotions, build coping skills, and rediscover hope. Whether you want faith-based guidance or a practical clinical approach, I’m here to walk with you through healing and growth. My approach is integrative and individualized, drawing from Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused treatment, Play Therapy, and more. These modalities allow clients to explore their inner world, build coping skills, and process difficult emotions in ways that feel safe, creative, and meaningful. I understand how heavy life can feel. I am here to support you in finding relief, strength, and renewed hope. If any part of you is wondering whether now might be the time to seek support, I warmly invite you to reach out — I’m here to help.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Worker for 37 years, treating both men and women of all ages. I have trained and worked on numerous treatment modalities and behavioral health issues. Most recently I worked treating male and female veterans. I did this for the past 18 years until my semi-retirement in 20025. Prior to this work. I had a private practice then worked at various outpatient clinics. My expertise is too extensive to discuss here but I would gladly answer any questions the client might have. I enjoy helping others improve their lives and hope to continue in this role.

With over 25 years of experience in community mental health and higher education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice.

My extensive training and experience enable me to assist individuals facing a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, from minor struggles to more serious issues. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care to help my clients achieve their mental health and well-being goals.

If you are ready to make positive changes in your life I am here to help with that journey! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Holy Family University in 2016 and I have done my internship working with children and young adults on the Autism spectrum. Since then I have worked with children, teens, and adults in many settings such as individual, couples, family, and group therapy with various goals. Now I focus on individual therapy with the adult population on many different concerns whether that be life style changes, self-esteem, work/life balance, relationships, trauma, stress management, anxiety, depression, etc. My approach to therapy is person centered (you led the way in terms of what you would like to address in therapy). I like to teach relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and mindfulness as well cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as a way to help you identify triggers, emotions, thoughts, and behavior so you can learn how to reframe thoughts, manage emotions, and modify behaviors. I also have specialized training in gambling addiction and incorporate CBT-based approaches in my work.

I’m Francesca, a Licensed Professional Counselor and trauma-focused therapist with over nine years of experience supporting clients as young as 1.5 years old through adulthood.

I'm so glad you're here. It's such a crucial step you've taken, and I honor you for placing your health at the top of your list today! I came to clinical social work after many years of engagement in other fields, so I feel a connection with your efforts to find the right situation and therapist for yourself in this moment. I believe that we are innate experts of our experience, and also that an outside voice and companion can be critical during moments like you may find yourself in now. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to explore not just the areas that are hard for us, but also to expand into the areas that bring joy, light, support and growth. Thank you for considering me as an ally and co-collaborator!

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them - whether that's anxiety, relationship struggles, substance use, or a lingering sense they've lost connection with who they truly are. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, substance use concerns, life transitions, and questions of identity. I specialize in supporting clients experiencing substance use disorders, co-dependency, co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, anxiety, depression, stress, relational patterns, shame, people-pleasing, identity exploration and rebuilding a healthy relationship with self, and religious or spiritual trauma. Many of my clients are working to untangle harmful patterns, rebuild trust with themselves, and create healthier relationships. I have particular interest in supporting individuals unpacking harmful religious experiences or high-control faith environments. Many clients I work with are navigating questions of identity, autonomy, and personal values after feeling pressure to conform to rigid belief systems. Many of the clients I work with are learning to trust their own voice again after years of feeling pressure to meet others' expectations. I understand how deeply faith, identity, family, and community can be intertwined, and I approach this work with care and respect for each person's unique journey. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. I believe therapy is not a "one-size-fits all" experience, and I tailor the process to each client's needs, values and goals. Seeking greater serenity in your life takes courage. Therapy can be a space to slow down, gain insight, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or silenced along the way. You deserve support as you move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are. I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

My name is Ronide Louis, and I am the founder and clinician behind Phoenix Rise Counseling Services. My work is grounded in the belief that growth begins when individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Phoenix Rise offers counseling in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Together, we focus on building insight, developing practical coping strategies, and reconnecting with inner resilience through a collaborative, trauma-informed, and personalized approach that honors each individual’s unique story.

The journey of healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust and mutual respect. My worldview and core values determine my approach to therapy and engaging with you. I strongly believe in a holistic approach to therapy: I consider the art and science of healing to support the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. I have decades of rich and varied life experiences which inform my practice. I have worked in schools with children as an educator with a great understanding of human development, I am a grass-roots level community development social worker and a mental health clinician in community behavioral health.

You’ve been holding a lot together—and it’s getting harder to keep it that way. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions - but my focus often extends beyond a single diagnosis. I also support complex mental health, including dissociative identity and schizophrenia. I am especially mindful of stressors such as navigating the challenges of a loved one living with hoarding disorder, carrying loss connected to COVID, and layered intercultural or blended family dynamics. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) with over 20 years of experience in behavioral health. Over the years I’ve worked in many roles — including supervision, leadership, and training — but what I value most is sitting down with people and helping them make sense of their lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a strong background in healthcare and clinical settings. I earned my BSW from Shippensburg University and my MSW from Marywood University, and I am also a Certified Social Worker in Healthcare (C-SWHC) through the NASW. My experience includes working in hospitals, supporting individuals and families through death and dying, and providing care related to substance use, recovery, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I strive to offer a compassionate, client-centered space where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered in their healing process.

Hi, Have you ever felt that your past or present are holding you back from experiencing happiness? If you answered "Yes" to this question, I am here to tell you that the feeling of happiness is still within you and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am just here to help you find those tools and remove all the clutter. I am here to help you face the difficult challenges that life is throwing at you and face them with confidence and better understanding of what you can do to live your life the way you want to.

My name is Jana Allen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience helping individuals and families navigating life's challenges. My approach in working with adolescents and adults integrates faith with evidence-based therapeutic practices for clients who desire a spiritually grounded path to healing. I hold degrees from Penn State University (BS), Howard University (MSW), and Walden University (MBA). I am an ordained minister and have been married for over 20 years with two teenage children.

I'm Dana, a licensed therapist (LPC) from Philly. My educational background, training & experience focuses largely around trauma, and the nervous system. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship/family issues and low self esteem. I show up to sessions as both a therapist and a real human with a personality that is warm, friendly, curious, direct and honest. I don't believe in TMI, and I want to hear every detail of every story you want to share.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” — Carl Rogers I believe so many of us already have the capacity to become our best selves, but something gets in the way. Past experiences, anxiety, patterns we’ve learned, or ways we’ve had to cope that no longer serve us. I work with children, teens, adults, and parents who feel stuck or held back in some way, and are ready to start understanding why. Together, we look at what’s underneath those patterns and begin to gently remove the things that are no longer helping you grow. My approach is warm, supportive, and real. I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, while also helping you move forward in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to you. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone completely different. It’s about coming back to yourself, with more clarity, confidence, and the ability to move through life in a way that feels better. If you’re ready to step into that version of yourself, I’d love to connect.

Sometimes we find it hard to ask for help when we are struggling. For you to read this profile you have just given yourself the permission to receive the healing compassion that you so deserve and I applaud you for taking that first step. As a therapist for the past 16 years, I have made it my mission to be there for people like yourself that struggle with a multitude of stressors, including anxiety, post traumatic stress, social anxiety, struggles with communication, phobias/fears and overthinking patterns to name a few. I specialize in trauma specifically with a certification in clinical trauma (CCTP). Clients who have experienced any level of trauma, can feel confident in working with me that we will process through the trauma itself and also learn how to cope with the everyday triggers and grieving process. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for both trauma related issues and for anxiety related issues. I also incorporate eclectic approaches to my treatment since every client needs something different when it comes to navigating how to cope with their struggles. I am empathetic and an attentive listener that will be your support for whatever your journey may be. My warm caring personality matched with some humor will help us to build a solid therapeutic foundation.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), based in the Philadelphia area. I have worked as an Outpatient Therapist in community mental health agencies for the past 11 years. As an LMFT, relationships are key to my practice. I strive to build a trusting, authentic relationship with compassion and warmth. I am passionate about helping individuals and families find ways to navigate challenges and build healthier relationships. I believe in taking a collaborative, strengths-based approach, tailored to meet your needs. I look forward to guiding you along your path of personal growth and healing.

I am Donna Orsatti, PsyD, LPC, and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and I am the founder of Courage 2 Change Counseling, a private practice dedicated to guiding individuals through healing and transformation. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to walk beside you—offering support, compassion, and guidance—as you grow and evolve into the person you strive to become. Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don’t have to walk this path alone. At Courage 2 Change Counseling, I offer a safe and welcoming space where you can begin your journey toward healing and transformation. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with individuals affected by substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions. My work is centered on helping clients navigate the challenges of recovery, address underlying wounds, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

The only constant in life is change. I see my primary role as therapist to be acting as steward and support for a client as they grow and change. I strive to create a safe a supportive space where a client can explore their identity without fear of judgement. I also seek to support my clients during their road to recovery from past trauma, attachment issues, and relationship struggles. I have been working as a therapist trained in supporting folx identifying as LGBTQIA+ as well as trans and gender variant, and have had the honor of supporting teens and adults during their gender exploration and transition. I have exensive training and experience in this area, including training from the CHOP Gender Clinic and through the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia. Seeking therapeutic support can be a frightening and stressful experience and I seek to be a grounding support person who can provide the feedback and tools necessary to survive and thrive during this process.

My name is Vincent Lamont and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (Pennsylvania). Entering therapy can be a difficult decision for most people. I am committed to gently guiding my clients toward a place of relief from emotional distress and an enhanced sense of well-being. I am here to provide a safe space, and to help you work through whatever issue or conflict is troubling you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience helping people overcome a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and life transitions. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and grow. In therapy, I help my clients to understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also teach them coping skills and strategies for managing their anxiety, depression, or day to day stressors. My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered. I believe that the best way to help someone is to listen to them and understand their unique needs. I also believe that therapy is a journey, not a destination. It takes time and effort to heal, but it is possible. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or day to day stress, I encourage you to reach out to me. I'm here to help you on your journey to healing.

I'm Jill and I have been a social worker for more than 20 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work. I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been doing mental health therapy for 10+ years. I have worked with all kinds of people from different backgrounds and I really enjoy the clients I work with.

I believe in not just giving ok treatment, but the best available. That’s why I love matching your needs with the best type of therapy that’s also backed up with research to definitely be able to help you. With that, you’re still the expert on you and your life, so you bring your experiences and I’ll bring my knowledge, and together we can figure out how to help you figure out how to get exactly what you’re wanting in life. I specialize in working with anxieties, depression, trauma, as well as with teens and parents. I’ve worked with kids most of my life in one form or another doing therapy, mentoring, and teaching English abroad. Whatever is bothering you I’m here to help. LGBTQ friendly. Whatever it is, let me help you, and if there’s something I don’t have the proper expertise in then I also have no problem admitting that and directing you to someone who can help so that you don’t have to waste your time.

I'm Jilana Jaxon, a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma, grief, and perinatal mental health. I also work with anxiety, depression, unsteadying life transitions, and relationships (including marriage/couples). My goal in every therapeutic relationship is the same: To create a space where you feel safe and grounded enough to explore the hard stuff and supported enough to actually move through it. All sessions are held virtually.

Hi there! I’m Sarah :) Congratulations at taking the first step in reaching out to a counselor. I can understand how difficult it can be for some to make that decision. It can be hard to admit when someone feels like they need additional help in their lives to get things moving in a positive direction. It's important to recognize that this is not a flaw, and that teamwork is sometimes the best solution for an issue. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is very important and that you need to feel comfortable with someone to open up and trust. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to help you find your desired goals.

I work collaboratively with clients to develop healthy coping strategies, build resilience, and navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. I believe therapy is a partnership, and I strive to empower individuals to recognize their strengths and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Greetings! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with adults.

I aim to create a space that feels genuine and supportive, where you can explore what’s going on in your life without judgment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been in the field for over sixteen years, and licensed for more than ten. In that time, I have accumulated clinical experience working with adolescents, emerging adults and adults. My training and experience are grounded in implementing Cognitive Therapy strategies, developing skills from the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy model, and conceptualizing from a Trauma Informed lens.

Hello! My name is Dr. Gabe Longhi. I am a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of accumulated clinical experience and 27 years as a licensed, trauma-focused psychotherapist, working with clients with the full range of mental health conditions and life problems. I consider it a genuine privilege to participate in your healing process, and your journey to a more vibrant, fulfilling future. My therapy style involves identifying and healing the root causes of just about every condition, including depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, addictive behaviors, and relationship difficulties, and assisting in developing new skills for handling difficult thoughts and feelings, helping you become a more effective friend, family member, and intimate partner.

Hello! I am a licensed therapist practicing in Pennsylvania and working with a variety of clientele. I work with a variety of ages, from anyone from 12 and above. I'm also willing to work afternoons, weekends, and evenings to meet anyone where they need to be, should that be needed. I use a variety of treatments to meet my clientele where they are emotionally and developmentally. I tend to work with several mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar, and various personality disorders. I also work well with adjustment disorders, as well as trauma. I look forward to working with anyone that feels they could benefit from therapy. Thank you for your time, and I wish you and your family a great day!

I am currently working as an LCSW providing readjustment counseling services to Veterans, their spouses, and families. Throughout my education and current work I can make an impact on my clients by helping them learn the tools they need to move forward in a more positive manner with regard to mental health. My goal is to give my clients the tools they need to have the most optimal outcome.

Nicholas started his career in human services at Northeast Treatment Centers in Philadelphia, PA where, over the course of 7 years, he worked as Youth Advocate for adjudicated adolescents, lead clinician for a community-based treatment team and outpatient therapist. After becoming a licensed psychotherapist in 2014, Nicholas worked as an outpatient therapist for multiple companies in the Philadelphia area where he helped clients manage or overcome symptoms related to anxiety, stress, trauma, depression and more. Nicholas’ therapeutic approach is strongly rooted in humanistic psychology. As described in an article from the Association for Humanistic Psychology, this approach offers a "crucial opportunity to lead our troubled culture back to its own healthy path. More than any other therapy, Humanistic-Existential therapy models democracy. It imposes ideologies of others upon the client less than other therapeutic practices. Freedom to choose is maximized. We validate our client's human potential." Nicholas’ approach is also influenced by Buddhist and evolutionary psychology, which give insight into why our minds can work against us and what to do about it.

Hi! I'm Kristen and I've been practicing for close to 20 years. I've worked with children and families as well as adults in the criminal justice system. I really enjoy telehealth therapy due to the flexibility it offers both myself and the people I serve. I presently work full time in a correctional facility and provide outpatient therapy part time. To help support my own wellness, I love to hike and be in nature, I practice yoga, and I love to read.

I am a naturally inquisitive person who is here to build a warm and safe space for clients to be authentically themselves. I enjoy working with clients who have a desire to gain insight into themselves, grow self-compassion, learn functional coping skills, and build healthy boundaries. I offer client-centered, humanistic, queer-affirming, and culturally sensitive treatment. I also come from a scientific background and utilize this knowledge to give insight.

I wear many hats as a talk-therapist, creative arts therapist, mom, partner, friend, and engaged community member. While balancing a career as a teaching artist and mom, I was drawn to counseling because of the help I received and my desire to help others navigate life's challenges. I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist who helps people take the next steps toward feeling better and living fuller.

Life in today’s world can be challenging, especially when dealing with feelings of anxiety, depression, or other daily life stressors. I’m Josh, and I have built my career working with adolescents and adults to help them achieve meaningful change and regain control that may be lost during struggles with emotions and overthinking. If you are ready to take action towards making these changes, I could be a suitable option for you. There is no need to wait any longer to start feeling like yourself again, so let's begin the process.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience in human services and education. I offer a space that is genuine, approachable, and grounded—where you can show up as you are without pressure or pretense. I value honest, real conversations and believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection. If you’re ready to move beyond feeling stuck and start making meaningful changes, I’m here to help you get there.

I have seen people in almost all professional and community arenas (even jails). My work has been a mix of public and private sector involvement, including 11 years of community mental health service and over 30 years of individual practice. I have extensive experience in both home- and office-based psychotherapy, program development, clinical supervision, and clinical innovation. Special populations have included people with developmental disabilities, children and adolescents at risk for out-of-home placements, people with substance abuse issues, and geriatric populations; all have experienced various forms of grief, loss, and trauma while navigating the simple task of living and surviving. If you modify the title of Johnny Cash's song I've Been Everywhere to I've Done Everything (except prison work), that pretty much sums up my years of professional experience.

My work is rooted in trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel safe, seen, and empowered to reclaim their stories. I draw from narrative, attachment-based, and experiential approaches to support clients in understanding patterns, processing difficult experiences, and building more secure, fulfilling relationships. My style is collaborative, holistic, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s resilience, identity, and capacity for growth.

Hi, I’m Erica. I’m a therapist in the Philadelphia area who believes healing is rarely neat, linear, or Instagram-perfect. My approach blends evidence-based tools with an honest appreciation for how complicated, funny, painful, and beautiful being human can be. I offer a grounded, judgment-free space for people who want to understand themselves better, break old patterns, or simply breathe a little easier. As someone living with a disability, I don’t use the word “resilience” lightly. I understand what it means to navigate life with both strength and limitation, and I bring that lived insight into my work—not as a badge of honor, but as a way of connecting with people from a place of truth. I show up as a therapist, yes, but also as a real person who knows what it feels like to keep moving even when things are heavy.

My name is Karen Johnson and I am a licensed clinical social worker that has a vast array of professional and personal experience. I am a graduate of Temple University and have close to 20 years of experience working with mostly adults, but several years of working with children and adolescents early in my career. I strongly believe, you know yourself best and would like to work with you in a collaborative fashion. I see each client as a whole person that encompasses the mind, body and spirit. I use an eclectic approach in my work using a variety of tools such as mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation and other mind and body-based techniques. You are your own expert and I can help you facilitate change and growth in your daily life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing a grounded, supportive, and non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore what they’re carrying and move toward meaningful change. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based practices like CBT and Brainspotting while honoring the connection between mind and body. Having lived abroad, I’ve had the opportunity to experience many cultures and walks of life, which deeply informs my perspective and allows me to meet clients with openness, curiosity, and cultural humility. I am also completing my Doctor of Social Work (DSW) next month, further strengthening my commitment to thoughtful, evidence-based, and meaningful care. I work with clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of past experiences. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and at your pace—where you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen coping, and reconnect with yourself and your relationships in a way that feels more clear, steady, and aligned.

Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome. I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.
