ABOUT ME

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. Being a part of people’s healing journey and providing unconditional empathy and understanding is my ultimate goal. I have worked in the mental health field for 10 years. I have worked as a behavioral specialist, mobile therapist, residential director, in community mental health and as a supervisor. From a young age, due to my own personal experiences, I knew I wanted to help others and empower them to see their own worth. I am honored to open my own private practice and to be able to truly put the client first. I offer virtual therapy so we can embark on this journey together from your home or any safe, private space. Since I am licensed in Pennsylvania, I am able to offer counseling to anyone in the state.

I recently completed Phase 1 training in Brainspotting. I am thrilled to be able to bring this body and brain modality to my practice. I found that often times clients seem to get stuck on their healing journey or may say things like “I’ve tried everything and nothing has worked.” This is a way through this stuck point to offer a gentle way to heal, that aligns with my approach as a therapist.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “YOU WERE THE ONLY COUNSELOR I’VE EVER HAD WHO ACTUALLY LISTENED AND HELPED ME.”

  • “YOU SEE PEOPLE AS PEOPLE NOT THEIR DIAGNOSIS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU LISTEN.”

  • “YOU HAVE A WAY OF MAKING CLIENTS AND CAREGIVERS FEEL SAFE AND NON-JUDGED...”

MY approach

  • IF A PLANT DOESN’T GROW WE FIX THE ENVIRONMENT. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR US AS HUMANS. I AM EXCITED YOU ARE HERE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING TOGETHER TO GET TO THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEMS, SO YOU CAN BLOOM INTO THE BEAUTIFUL HUMAN YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE.

    MY PASSIONS FOR FLOWERS AND HELPING PEOPLE GROW ARE WHERE I HAVE FOUND MY PURPOSE IN LIFE. IT WASN’T UNTIL I STARTED MY OWN GREENHOUSE & GARDEN THAT I BEGAN NOTICING THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN PLANTS AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. ONCE I DID THOUGH, IT WAS AS IF EVERYTHING ALIGNED.
