I am committed to offering personalized therapy and counseling services to individuals, couples, families, and groups of all ages. My expertise encompasses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, behavior modification, relationship issues, and social-emotional challenges. I firmly believe that effective therapy is not a “one size fits all” solution; therefore, I customize interventions to suit each client’s unique traits and preferences, such as cultural background and coping style. This individualized approach has been shown to significantly enhance the effectiveness of psychological treatments and helps clients achieve lasting growth.

By combining evidence-based practices and the latest scientific research with clinical expertise, I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, art therapy, solution-focused therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This diverse toolkit allows me to develop tailored treatment plans and foster a collaborative environment where clients can clarify their goals and develop effective coping strategies. Emphasizing unconditional positive regard, I empower clients to undertake a purposeful journey toward realizing their desired outcomes.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Visual Arts from Bethany College (magna cum laude), as well as an MEd, a PhD in School Psychology, and an Education Specialist degree in PreK–12 Educational Leadership from Kent State University. I am a nationally certified school psychologist, credentialed as a LAPC in Pennsylvania, and hold school psychology certifications in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, along with superintendent and administrative specialist credentials. Over my 23-year career, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in hospitals, schools, and private practice. My extensive experience allows me to provide effective, personalized care that ensures
clients receive the support needed to reach their goals and lead a fulfilling life.
