Find a therapist in Pennsylvania — covered by insurance

Hi!

I have been in practice, providing therapy services since early 2022 when I began my internship at a community based mental health organization. I graduated with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kutztown University in 2023 and from this point on, I have worked with a vast population of individuals, coming from all backgrounds, mental health experiences and diagnoses. I became licensed in the state of Pennsylvania in January 2026. I largely specialize in addressing anxiety disorders, depression & mood disorders, stress & burnout along with grief and loss.

I'm a bilingual Latina therapist — I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I bring lived understanding of what it means to navigate mental health across cultures. I work with adults who are carrying real things: trauma, grief, anxiety, PTSD, and the particular weight that comes from being in between worlds. I specialize in EMDR, a highly effective approach for trauma that works even when talking alone doesn't feel like enough. I'm also an affirming provider for LGBTQ+ and transgender clients. I trained at Temple University and hold my LCSW in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I genuinely believe therapy should feel like a conversation — not a performance.

I’m a Certified EMDR therapist who’s here to help you feel more like you again. Whether you’re carrying around old stuff that’s hard to shake or just feeling stuck, I offer a calm, supportive space to work through it—at your pace, on your terms.

I bring a steady presence, evidence-based tools, and a deep belief in your capacity to heal. EMDR is powerful, and so are you. I’ll guide you through the process at your pace, with care, clarity, and My approach is grounded in science but delivered with warmth, humor, and a genuine respect for your journey.

I use EMDR because it works—and because it helps people move forward in meaningful ways. But more than that, I show up as a real person. You won’t get a blank stare or therapy speak here. Just real conversation, genuine curiosity, and a steady belief that healing is possible (and that it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time).

I offer weekend and flexible appointments. My specialties include depression/anxiety, people pleasers, weight issues, grief/loss, and trauma (PTSD). I am a compassionate counselor wanting to support your goals. Through our work together, you will learn how to improve your life, heal, and move forward.

Please message me to get started or self-schedule a session today.

I have 30+ years as an experienced counselor in a variety of settings. I have worked over the years in home, school, community, residential, hospital and outpatient settings. My therapy is based on a Gestalt approach as well as advanced trainings in Bipolar, DBT, and nutrition and mental health, strength-based therapy, and relationship dynamics. I love to use visualization techniques as well as incorporate current research solutions, workbooks, and training materials into my current practice.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience who enjoys working with teens and adults who are looking to make a change or live a more authentic life. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, neurodivergence, gender identity and life stressors.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential for achieving happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can often be challenging, so I want to compliment you for taking it! I have been practicing for over five years and have a proven track record of treating complex and severe mental disorders over the last decade. My experience includes working with patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addiction.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience providing psychotherapy to adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, and life transitions. I specialize in aging and adjusting to medical illnesses and concerns.

I utilize a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach with emphasis on practical coping skills to support emotional wellbeing and optimize daily functioning. I provide virtual psychotherapy in a supportive, respective environment, tailored to each client's needs and goals.

As a compassionate and experienced therapist, my mission is to support individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences, including loss, acute and chronic illness, trauma, life transitions, caregiver burnout, depression, and anxiety. With an extensive background in healthcare and hospice, I understand that these difficult circumstances can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of where to turn. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based therapies to help you find clarity, healing, and strength as you navigate these challenges. I specialize in helping individuals cope with the profound emotional and psychological impact that these experiences bring.

As a health services professional, I use a trauma-informed and culturally aware approach to assessment, treatment planning, and interventions. My background providing behavioral health services in schools, psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, psychological services clinics, and outpatient mental health centers allows me to connect to clients with a variety of mental health needs.

I am a National Board Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, as well as a certified School Counselor for grades K–12. I have over 25 years of experience working in a school setting, where I supported students from kindergarten through 12th grade and worked closely with thousands of families. That experience shaped my deep understanding of the academic, social, and emotional challenges children and teens face, and it’s also where my passion for helping young people truly grew.

I am a 58 yo mother of three college age daughters

I am a reflective and thoughtful( aka sensitive) person who uses art to seek deeper insight

I value knowledge , hard work, kindness and consideration above all else....

If I find myself on a certain lake in Maine , I am in heaven

I encourage others to find a similar place where, they too,, find the true self (and a spirit animal)!

Since I usually take the road less traveled , it has made all the difference to me because, the harder path contained many personal challenges

Had I have taken the more traveled road , I would not be nearly as interesting or as resilient as I am today

Dogs and horses have always been by my side and they never disappoint

They have been my wisest teachers and have shown me the path to simplicity, contentment and unconditional love

For that am thankful ❤️
