About
As someone who believes in the healing power of creativity, I often say, “Music doesn’t eliminate the storm, but it gives us rhythm while we walk through it".
I am a licensed professional counselor of mental health (LPCMH) with 7 years of experience supporting older teens and adults. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and challenges related to forensic system involvement. Many of my clients are seeking relief from overwhelming emotions, healthier relationships, and practical tools to manage life’s waves.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Slippery Rock University. My approach is client-centered and flexible, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills, regulate emotions, and process pain in a collaborative and individualized way.
Healing is hard work, but you do not have to do it alone. I bring warmth, humor, and authenticity into our sessions, so growth feels supportive, not intimidating. If you are ready to begin—or even just considering it—I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment.

As someone who has experienced anxiety and depression in her own life, I understand the struggle it is going through day to day while dealing with these difficult symptoms and how new coping mechanisms and life skills can impact and improve daily functioning.
I am a licensed professional counselor of mental health with over three years of experience working with diverse clients, primarily teenagers and young adults, while welcoming individuals of all ages.

I support individuals facing everyday stressors as well as those working through the impact of past experiences and trauma.

My style is casual, supportive, and professional, creating a safe environment where clients feel heard, build trust, and engage fully in the therapeutic process.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and the journey can feel like a roller coaster with ups and downs. The good news is you are not alone. My goal is to provide a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. If you're ready to take this ride, I am here and invite you to schedule an appointment with me.

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
