I'm a mother of four - two boys and two girls - who believes life is meant for big smiles and bold adventures. From exploring five of the seven continents to skydiving three times, I've filled my days with thrilling experiences that remind me how wonderful it is to embrace the unknown.

As a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania (with licensure pending in Arizona), a National Certified Counselor, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst licensed in eleven states, I bring more than 12 years of clinical expertise to our work together. I specialize in trauma-informed, person-centered care that truly meets you where you are. Whether you're healing from past wounds, building self-compassion and healthy boundaries, navigating substance use or co-occurring disorders, or exploring personality challenges, my promise is to walk beside you - never pulling you forward, but holding your hand and moving at your pace.

I draw on a robust toolkit of evidence-based practices, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and intensive interventions for addiction and gambling. I also lead group therapy sessions centered on self-love and self-awareness. Having walked my own path of healing and empowerment, I honor that your journey is uniquely yours. As Benjamin E. Mays said, "It is not your environment, it is you - the quality of your mind, the integrity of your soul and the determination of your will that will decide your future." Wherever you've been does not define where you can go. I'm here to support you, celebrate each step of change, and help you create the future you envision - one thoughtful step at a time.
