I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Pennsylvania and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. In my education, I graduated from Penn State with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Biology as well as La Salle University with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have worked in multiple related disciplines such as the school in special education, a multi-sport coach, and as a family therapist. My work as a Master’s therapist began in 2019 and I opened Bridge Counseling LMFT in December of 2024.

My experience extends to various diagnoses, relational issues, and levels of intensity during my career and I feel comfortable with a wide variety of clients. Some of my clinical strengths include having an eye on people’s story and history as it influences who they are and which patterns they exhibit in their relationships today. The strongest skill I offer in the therapy room though, is an ability to form a meaningful professional relationship with clients that blends eagerness and patience to provide care that is curated to an individual, couple, or family’s particular needs in their stage of healing. I also possess an awareness of matters such as our race, gender, religion, sexuality, and other contextual factors into the lives of clients and I aim to meet clients with humility and curiosity about their lived experience to support them in forging a new and meaningful path forward for their lives.
