Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when relationships with family, partners, or loved ones become strained. You may be struggling with communication issues, past wounds that won’t seem to heal, or patterns of conflict that leave you feeling stuck. Whether you’re an adolescent navigating the complexities of identity and belonging, a young adult facing life transitions, or an adult working through relationship challenges, you deserve a space to feel heard and understood. My goal is to support you in building stronger, healthier connections—both with yourself and those around you. With a background in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy and specialized training in Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and the Gottman Method, I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore their unique stories. I have experience helping juveniles displaying problem sexual behaviors, guiding families through difficult conversations, and assisting couples in rebuilding trust and intimacy. Using an approach rooted in Narrative, Contextual Family, and Multigenerational Family Therapy, I help clients untangle past experiences, improve communication, and develop more fulfilling relationships. As a Therapist Associate, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State University and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy at Capella University. I am advancing my clinical training under the supervision of Gabrielle Blawas, LSW, a senior licensed clinician at Makin Wellness. This ensures you receive both my dedicated support and the guidance of an experienced professional overseeing your care. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I am here to meet you where you are with compassion and understanding. Together, we can create a path forward—one that aligns with your values and helps you foster deeper, more meaningful connections. If you’re ready to begin this journey, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
