It is my belief that I am not the expert in your life, rather I am just here as a conduit for change that you wish to see occur. Moreover, if I had to liken my role in your life to anything it would be the narrator in the GPS navigation system which provides clear and concise directions based on the destination you have input into the system. I believe that we will work as collaborators to achieve the goals that make sense for you. As a solution focused therapist, I am dedicated to brief treatment, adhere to minimal interventions, and do not delve into underlying pathology that may be present or family history in great detail.

I am a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with over three decades of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, relationship and career challenges, as well as major life transitions. My work is solution-focused, collaborative, and empowering—centered on helping you build clarity, confidence, and forward momentum, even when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. I work especially well with clients experiencing social anxiety, general depression, low self-esteem, caregiver exhaustion, grief and loss, and stress related to relationships, marriage, divorce, family dynamics, and work environments. Many of my clients are navigating midlife transitions, career changes, identity shifts, or the emotional toll of caring for others while feeling depleted themselves. Therapy with me is not about judgment or “fixing” you—it’s about working together to understand what’s getting in the way and identifying practical, meaningful steps toward the life you want. I use Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based approaches, and evidence-informed strategies to help you recognize what’s already working, reduce emotional overwhelm, and create sustainable change at a pace that feels right for you. I have extensive experience supporting adults through older adulthood, and I am affirming and inclusive in my work with LGBTQ+ clients. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, grieving a loss, questioning a relationship or career path, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again, therapy can be a place to regain stability, direction, and self-trust. I offer affirming, non-religious counseling in a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, respected, and empowered to develop meaningful coping strategies and move toward sustainable, positive change—at a pace that feels right for you.

As a licensed therapist in Florida, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, I specialize in working with women who feel exhausted from taking care of everyone else. Many of the women I work with have spent years being the strong one — supporting their families, managing responsibilities, and putting others first. Somewhere along the way, they began to lose touch with their own needs, identity, and sense of self. You may find yourself wondering, “Why do I feel guilty when I try to prioritize myself?” or “When did I stop knowing what I actually want?” These patterns often show up as anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, or a deep sense of burnout. My work focuses on helping women reconnect with who they truly are beneath the roles and expectations they’ve carried for so long. Together, we explore the patterns that keep you stuck in people-pleasing, self-doubt, and over-responsibility while building the confidence and self-trust needed to create healthier boundaries and more fulfilling relationships. I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your inner world, process past experiences, and rediscover your voice. Through our work together, my goal is to help you move from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected to feeling grounded, confident, and more aligned with your authentic self. You deserve a life where your needs matter too.

My main goal is to help you become empowered to make the changes you can realistically make to improve your life. We'll accomplish this by helping you grow your confidence and process and heal trauma. My ideal client is willing to explore things they do not understand about themselves and/or those around them and thereby build self-awareness. Their issues fall under the categories of self-esteem, stress and/or mood management, behavioral issues, trauma and PTSD, domestic abuse/violence, teen counseling, grief, family conflict, and spirituality and faith topics. Our words are at times not enough to express the depths of our emotions. I believe in client-directed therapy. I use a client-tailored mixture of art-making and psychotherapy techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychoanalysis, and more! I understand that your current circumstances are difficult beyond words. This is why I'd like to partner with you to find ways to vent and cope with the help of creativity. As we explore those things you're struggling with, we'll also find ways to help you cope and visualize realistic, step-by-step solutions to these struggles.

I have been an educator and counselor for over 40 years with a vast amount of experience in a wide variety of areas. I retired from education in 2017 after spending 27 years as a high school counselor serving as the department chair for many of those years. I have also worked in the private sector as a Licensed Professional Counselor during those same 40 plus years, retiring in 2022. I retired to take care of my wife who was ill. Unfortunately, she passed on April 30 of that same year. I have worked in several counseling practices with almost all ages, specializing in adolescent and adult issues. I have also taught in graduate schools helping to prepare students to become counselors. Most recently I have been the owner of a preschool program serving children from six weeks to sixth grade. On a more personal side, my wife and I were married just short of 41 years. We had five children, three boys and two girls. I am also a proud grandfather of ten grandchildren. Unfortunately, my youngest son passed away on September 2, 2025. In spite of my losses over the past few years, I consider my life to be blessed, and I thank God every day. As a counselor I try to empower my clients to find the answers within themselves. I genuinely care about people and try to give them the tools to lead their most productive lives. I use a variety of techniques geared to the client I am working with at the time. In today's ever-changing world it is imperative to find balance and grounding in our day to day lives. It is my hope that I may be able to help with that. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
