Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I am a Lehigh Valley native, but I lived in Arizona for five years during my teen years. I still frequently travel there for pleasure.

Throughout my career as a psychotherapist, I have specialized in childhood trauma and dissociation. I have undergone numerous training courses beyond graduate school focused on these areas. I am certified in dissociative disorders and certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). The NBCC certification demonstrates my continued commitment to high counseling standards and supports advocacy efforts for the counseling profession. Additionally, I am certified in EMDR Somatic healing with The Embody Lab.


Childhood trauma is at the heart of my work. I concentrate on attachment in early childhood and how it impacts us as adults. Since many of us did not have a secure attachment in childhood, it's crucial to heal from past trauma. This work requires patience and understanding. I am a certified EMDR therapist (click “services” to learn more) and utilize EMDR as part of my healing approach.

Here are a few fun tidbits about me:

  • I love yoga and hiking, and I am addicted to lip balm!

  • I continually do my therapy work and understand how scary it can be.

  • I love the southwest and the beauty of the desert.

  • I know life transitions are challenging, and I am going through my own, too. We all do!

  • I wouldn't say I like cooking, but I love enjoying all types of food. 

  • I have felt the frustration of life challenges and the pride of defeating them.

  • I spent nearly 15 years working in a corporate environment.

  • I have eaten a marshmallow PEEPS chick right off the conveyor belt…it was yummy!

  • I am a Reiki Master.

  • I am a 200-hour certified yoga teacher.

  • I fully understand what it is like to be a woman with ADD.

  • I have multiple tattoos, and each holds a significant meaning to me.

  • I have my own therapist and have found healing in the work. In my healing journey, I have experienced Focusing, Action Method, Yoga, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic treatment. EMDR is a game-changer for me. It’s hard to explain the change; you know something is different, and it feels good.

I recognize that searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming. Just like you, my childhood had its share of challenges. It took me a few tries with different therapists and therapy approaches before I found the right fit. That's what I want for you. If I'm not the right fit for you, no problem. We'll find the right person for you.
