Hi there!
I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with over 10 years experience within the mental health world. I have a diverse background in regards to my experience, having worked with children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and families. I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns including anger management, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. My approach within the session is very much centered around you. You know yourself best and what you are or are not ready to address. You are the lead in your life and I am simply there to help guide you along the way. It takes courage to recognize and admit that change is needed in life and strength to seek help in making those changes. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
