Hello! I am a California- and Pennsylvania-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with 25 years of experience counseling children, teens, and adults. I have trained and practiced extensively as a cognitive-behavioral therapist, and I also have a passion for mindfulness, self-compassion, and holistic approaches for greater well-being. In counseling, I invite people to cultivate greater self-acceptance; release themselves from the burden of limiting, distressing beliefs; and find meaning and opportunity in challenging experiences. It is very possible to be free from suffering! I offer a compassionate, research-based, and collaborative approach to counseling - as well as Eastern and Western Spiritual perspectives to those who may be interested. I love to listen deeply and to offer questions for self-exploration, also. I have a passion and specialty in assisting teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, as well as those who wish to be more loving/accepting of themselves. I also have a strong interest in supporting individuals with chronic illnesses or other physical challenges, as well as their loved ones. My other professional roles are as an astrologer and a Reiki (Japanese energy healing) practitioner. I also offer dream interpretation sessions, utilizing a research-based model developed at the University of Maryland. In my free time, I care for several animal friends, study Spanish, meditate, hike, and bake vegan cookies. I lived in Southern California for two decades and now reside in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Thank you for viewing my site. It will be a joy to connect with you!

Hi! Let me start by telling you a little about myself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I have 23 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with a culturally diverse population with a variety of mental health challenges. I assist clients with creating goals to improve their mental health and wellness. My counseling style is interactive, non-judgmental and respectful. I have enjoyed the opportunity to help others develop self-awareness, coping skills and behavior modification. I believe the therapeutic process is a partnership between a therapist and an active and willing participant focused on getting to wellness in their individual journey. As we all are complex and individual beings with personal underlying factors, my favored methodology is Integrative Therapy. I believe this method allows the therapist and the participant freedom to explore various aspects of self with varied approaches. If you are ready to take that first step towards change, I am here to support and empower you! Please note that I do not work on the weekends and won't be online. Let’s get started!

I work with adolescents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others. Many people I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, or long-standing relational patterns and are looking for a space where they can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what they’re experiencing. My approach is trauma-informed and mindfulness-based, integrating insight-oriented and practical strategies to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful change. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced intentionally, with a strong emphasis on safety, curiosity, and respect for your boundaries. I value creativity, learning, music, and time in nature, and I believe connection—to ourselves and to others—is central to healing. My hope is to support you in developing greater clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of alignment in your life.
