Hello, and thank you for considering this journey with me. I am passionate about helping individuals like you discover strength, healing, and growth. I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor with experience providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I earned my undergraduate degree from Penn State University and my graduate degree from Northwestern University.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, blending mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic principles, as well as art and play. This diverse methodology helps create an engaging, dynamic therapeutic space supporting personal growth and healing.
I have experience in helping clients navigate a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, self-esteem, perinatal issues, and the unique concerns that adults often face. My broad expertise allows me to offer personalized support tailored to each individual's needs. Building trust is essential in therapy, so I prioritize creating strong, meaningful connections with my clients. I also understand that starting therapy can be intimidating, which is why I am committed to offering a safe, supportive space where you can feel empowered to face life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
