I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor’s Degree in Student Ministries. I also hold Family Based Certification after completing an intensive three-year training program. With more than 15 years in mental health, I have provided intensive in-home family therapy for high-risk children and adolescents, as well as one-on-one behavioral health support in school, home, and community settings. This work has focused on emotional and behavioral challenges, strengthening attachment relationships, developing practical coping skills, and collaborating with schools and other professionals to support the best possible outcomes for families.

I specialize in helping children and teens with emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties while empowering parents to respond with greater confidence and calm. Counseling draws from evidence-based methods such as systemic family therapy, attachment-based interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, and behavioral approaches. These methods can be offered in a way that respects and aligns with your family’s faith and values when that is important to you. I want parents to know that how they feel matters too. Parenting a child who is struggling can be exhausting and emotionally heavy, and those feelings are valid. The goal is to support both you and your child so the whole family can move toward greater connection, reduced conflict, and a calmer home environment.

When I'm not in session, you'll find me with my family or enjoying quiet time outdoors with my dog. It keeps me balanced and reminds me why the work of supporting families matters so much.

If you’re looking for thoughtful, professional, support tailored to your child, teen, or family, I’d be honored to help.
