Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're a child struggling with anxiety, a teenager navigating friendships, school pressures, or life changes, or a parent seeking support for your child.

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.

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, Florida, South Carolina and Delaware allows me to bring these approaches together in a way that is both clinically grounded and also responsive to your experience.

My Professional Background and Counseling Philosophy My passion for mental health has shaped my work with individuals, families, and communities across a variety of settings. Over the years, I have had the privilege of collaborating with clients to enhance their well-being, drawing on my experience across diverse settings, including hospital Emergency Departments, psychiatric units, community organizations, and mental health agencies. My professional journey includes supporting individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, assisting those facing mental illness, and working with people who have experienced homelessness and hopelessness. I have also provided both individual and group therapy within clinical settings. Counseling Philosophy At the core of my counseling practice is the belief that meaningful change occurs through collaboration and purposeful effort. I view my clients as the experts in their own lives and encourage them to take an active role in their treatment by investing time and energy in the process. Together, we identify the outcomes that matter most to the client and work to ensure consistent progress toward those goals. My approach centers on empowering clients by fostering self-awareness and resilience, and I am dedicated to ensuring every individual feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. Commitment to Client Autonomy What distinguishes my counseling style is a steadfast commitment to honoring each client’s autonomy. For example, I have worked with clients who struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. By collaborating closely, we identify the client’s unique strengths and develop practical coping strategies tailored to their needs. As clients move through this process, they gradually regain their confidence and begin taking meaningful steps toward their desired outcomes. This experience reinforced for me the importance and effectiveness of a supportive, empowering therapeutic alliance. In every interaction, my focus is on achieving the best possible results and facilitating lasting, positive change.

In my counseling practice, I embrace an eclectic approach, drawing flexibly from a range of evidence-based therapies to best serve each unique individual. No two people are alike, so I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused therapy—tailoring the process to align with my clients’ specific needs, strengths, and goals. My style is gently directive: I offer clear guidance and structure while inviting clients to explore and uncover the profound wisdom, resilience, and worth—the true “gold”—that resides within their own hearts. Often, this inner treasure lies buried beneath the wounds and pain carried from childhood. Together, we engage in the courageous, transformative work of healing those early hurts, fostering a deeper sense of wholeness so clients can live and relate from a full, healthy, and integrated heart.
