Personal Statement

I believe in providing a safe environment where clients can explore their feelings, fears, and concerns. In attaining a strong and genuine therapeutic relationship, therapy can be a life-changing experience. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a concentration in family systems, I have extensive training in high conflict families, as well as with children and teenagers with behavioral issues. I enjoy working with couples to resolve negative interaction patterns and intimacy issues.  I enjoy working with individual adults to address depression, anxiety, grief/loss, relationship issues, and overall life stress. I am available for individual, family, and/or couples therapy sessions.

I have worked in community mental health for 15 of my 20 years in the field, and have a strong knowledge base of this system. I enjoy working in tandem with other professionals if needed.


I specialize in the clinical perspectives of diabetes management, in conjunction with Endocrinology and Registered Nutrition Services.


I participate in the Bucks County Collaborative Law Group as a Divorce Coach and Mediator.
