- LCSW
As a licensed therapist serving clients in Pennsylvania, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on compassionate, faith-informed counseling that addresses depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth.
I am deeply committed to helping clients explore life purpose, heal from past experiences, and develop healthier communication patterns. My therapeutic work focuses on addressing social anxiety, trauma recovery, attachment dynamics, and women's mental health concerns. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences with understanding and hope.
My practice honors each person's unique journey, offering gentle guidance through stress, grief, family conflicts, and personal transformation. I approach counseling with respect for individual spiritual perspectives and a genuine desire to support meaningful emotional healing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
