About Me
A warm, creative space
for healing and growth
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist in the state of Pennsylvania. I earned my Master's degree in Art Psychotherapy from Hahnemann University in 1992, and I bring over 30 years of experience working with both adults and children across a wide variety of settings — including outpatient and inpatient mental health, crisis intervention, addiction treatment, foster care, and end-of-life care.
Throughout my career, I have woven together traditional talk therapy with art therapy–informed approaches, offering both verbal and creative, nonverbal pathways for healing. While words are powerful, there are times when creative expression can access thoughts and emotions that are harder to put into language. Incorporating expressive arts therapy can support deeper insight, self-awareness, and meaningful change.
"I see therapy as a shared journey. My role is to walk alongside you through life's challenges — offering a safe, supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are."
My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply person-centered. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and gently support growth at your own pace. I have extensive experience working with trauma and help clients build skills for emotional regulation, resilience, and balance. I often incorporate mindfulness, grounding techniques, and body-based awareness to help you feel more centered and connected.
