As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania and in Florida, I bring over two decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting kids, teens, young adults and individuals through life's complex challenges. I have also taught Psychology and Counseling undergrad courses since 2001 (online and in person).
My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the unique emotional and personality landscapes of each person, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship issues and or dynamics, crisis situations, self-esteem issues, grief, parenting, and navigating daily and or significant life transitions.
I am able to offer a faith-sensitive and supportive therapeutic environment that honors and respects individual experiences, even for those seeking guidance aligned with Christian values. I believe in a holistic approach to psychological heath and wellness that involves the relationship between the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. This allows me to truly focus on assisting and collaborating with clients as they work through any challenge/issue, personal growth, and emotional healing with empathy and professional insight. I utilize a variety of therapeutical modalities including but not limited to: Family Systems, CBT, DBT, Person Centered, and or Solution Focused therapy.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, young adult challenges, family dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal development. I am committed to creating a safe, understanding space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and move toward meaningful personal transformation.
