You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of where to start—and that’s completely okay. Taking the first step toward therapy is a brave and meaningful choice, and I’m here to walk alongside you at your own pace.
I work with individuals of all ages, supporting you through life’s challenges—whether you’re managing daily stress, navigating a difficult transition, or working through deeper feelings of anxiety, depression, or abandonment. Whatever you’re carrying, this is a space for you to feel heard, understood, and supported.
Our work together will be tailored to you. Online therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on your long-term growth and overall mental health. You can expect a calm, grounded presence in our sessions, and a structured yet flexible space to explore what matters most to you.
I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to meet your needs—not with a one-size-fits-all model, but with a personalized approach built on trust and mutual respect. Clients often tell me they feel “safe, seen, and empowered” in our work together.
As a Therapist Associate, I am pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania. I am advancing my clinical training under the supervision of Tori Romberger, LPC, 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.
Online therapy is a partnership, and there’s no rush—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out and book a session. This could be the start of something meaningful.
