Life can feel overwhelming when you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, family conflict, or major life changes. For over 40 years, I've helped hundreds of people find hope, healing, and practical solutions during life's most challenging seasons. I provide a caring, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. As a lifelong Christian, I believe people can overcome even difficult circumstances, and I work alongside my clients to build on their strengths and create lasting change.

I have a heart for helping people develop their inner strength, build deeper relationships with the people around them, and rediscover their joy... In addition, I enjoy getting to learn from clients each day and the personal growth that comes with accompanying you on the journey toward healing.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (I.2002389-SUPV) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work, both from The Ohio State University. Credentials aside, my desire as a therapist is to be able to hold space with and for my clients as they process thoughts and emotions when it might feel too overwhelming to do alone. I’ve worked primarily with adults in both community mental health and private practice settings, who are experiencing behavioral and mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, crisis, grief and loss, relationship and identity challenges, major life transitions, mood conditions, and psychotic issues. I have experience utilizing different therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness and relaxation techniques. I am Level I trained in EMDR therapy and find it to be an effective therapy for a variety of issues.

I’m a Professional Counselor who takes a holistic approach to care and uses a variety of therapeutic interventions.

The most important factor when looking for a therapist is to find the right fit. You need to know that your therapist can understand you well, is genuine, interested, attentive, and non judgemental. Within the context of a good therapeutic relationship, difficulties can be explored freely and through this exploration you can discover new insights and creative ways to work through problems. I practice psycho-dynamic Self Psychology. This therapeutic tradition puts a great emphasis on the relationship between client and therapist. As a practitioner of this kind of therapy, it is my belief that our capacity to understand our inner life, cope with life's challenges, have satisfying relationships, and effectively pursue our values and goals is developed and supported (or not) in the context of our important relationships. Therapy is a relationship especially suited to provide the kind of support that strengthens us and helps us get more of what we want out of life.

Hello! I am a clinical psychologist licensed in Pennsylvania. Since 2003, I have been dedicated to helping people live happier, more empowered lives with a sense of personal worth, purpose, and fulfillment. Many people come to therapy because they are hurting and want relief, and that matters deeply to me. But therapy can also be something more: an opportunity for self-discovery, personal growth, and becoming more present and authentic in your everyday life. Whatever brings you here, I consider it a privilege to work alongside you. I am an active, engaged therapist. I know when to listen and when to push, when to sit with you in something difficult, and when to help you explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck. But effective therapy isn’t just about applying fancy clinical techniques or providing psychology lectures; it has to be rooted in a safe, collaborative connection between therapist and patient. In me, you will find someone who takes your experience seriously, respects your values and goals, meets vulnerability with empathy, and is not above finding humor in the human condition.

My biggest passion in life is helping people grow into the best version of themselves. As a therapist, I desire to create a safe space to help you discover your goals and then work alongside you to empower you to achieve those goals. The foundation of my approach to therapy is an IPT approach, with the addition of CBT and DBT practices. I believe that the therapeutic process often goes beyond any one specific method or approach.

I own Proven Pathways Psychotherapy, a group practice specializing in the treatment of emotional concerns like anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), depression, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), irritability, and managing emotions alongside substance use. We use gold-standard psychotherapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and exposure therapies, like exposure and response prevention (ERP). We focus on practical skills to help clients improve and manage their emotions independently, and clients often meet their therapy goals in 3 to 5 months.

At Wallflower Connection Therapy Services, I understand that some of the most beautiful and meaningful moments in life come from quietly observing, reflecting, and finding your own place in the world. Inspired by The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I aim to create a space where individuals who may feel like they don’t quite fit in or are silently navigating their emotions can come forward and be seen. Much like the story’s protagonist, I believe that everyone has a unique journey, and my work is to help you reconnect with yourself in a way that is compassionate, empowering, and restorative. I specialize in working with those who may feel overlooked or invisible—whether it's trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions that leave you feeling disconnected. My goal is to help you find your voice, your power, and your peace.
