  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and life transitions with compassion, and evidence-based strategies.

I'm deeply committed to creating an inclusive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors each person's unique experiences. My practice focuses on supporting diverse needs, including workplace dynamics, seasonal mood changes, family systems, and personal identity exploration. I have particular expertise in supporting individuals managing stress, mood disorders, and interpersonal challenges.

My therapeutic style emphasizes collaborative, client-centered care. I draw from multiple therapeutic frameworks to help clients develop meaningful coping skills, enhance emotional resilience, and move toward greater personal understanding and growth. Whether you're experiencing relationship difficulties, processing life changes, or seeking deeper self-awareness, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with respect and professional guidance.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
