Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes it feels downright impossible. You don't have to walk through life alone; let's do this together. I am here to provide a safe space for you to begin the journey of self-exploration and healing. We will work together to explore healthy and effective coping skills to manage difficult emotions. I strive to empower you to be the best version of yourself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children, adolescents, teens, and young adults. I have worked in a variety of settings such as residential, school-based, and outpatient. I help those struggling with things such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, family conflict, and self-harm to gain insight and reduce negative mindsets. I believe that every person has a unique journey that has led them to where they are now. I use a variety of therapeutic practices that are tailored to each individual's goals and needs. These include things such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and play therapy. Let's take the first step to becoming your best self.

I have a special interest working with young adults struggling with body image issues, life stage transitions, trauma, relationships, and anxiety. I use an eclectic approach that is client centered.I show up as a human first and believe that in order to create a space in which my clients feel safe showing up as their authentic selves, I need to first show up as my authentic self. My style is conversational and informal. I seek to help the client get a better understanding of themselves and meet their inner selves with compassion and non-judgement.

I believe that what you're experiencing doesn't define you. I help navigate anxiety, overwhelm, and identity shifts, especially within big life transitions. Using a holistic approach with CBT, mindfulness, and self-care tools, we work together to manage emotions, build insight, and with your true self. You don’t have to do it alone, support is here. You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself. These feelings are valid, and support is possible. Together, we can work toward clarity, calm, and reconnection. If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I invite you to connect for a free 15-minute consultation.

I have enjoyed being in the mental and behavioral health field for over 12 years working with children, adolescents, and adult. As a licensed behavioral consultant, I've supported families and children with Autism, ADHD, and mood-related disorders. As licensed professional counselor, I've empowered individuals through experiences relating to trauma, grief, divorce, adjustment, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and anger management. In 2022, I opened a private practice partnering with therapists to expand providing care. I am grateful for the honor and privilege to be present with you in your inspiring story; with more to still be written. I value a client-centered orientation to embrace each unique person and to individualize treatment to most effectively support accomplishing goals. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, behavior-modification, and play therapy as therapeutic approaches to cultivate growth by focusing care for each specific need.

I am sorry you are going through a hard time, but it is already easy to see you have at least one strength...you get help and support when you need it, you are actively doing it right now. I currently have openings for college students. I am an easy going, non-judgmental therapist who likes to be actively engaged in sessions. I will talk with you to help you see and understand your experiences in a more comprehensive way and I will help you to implement strategies so you do not make the same mistakes over and over again. I am honest. I am safe. I am competent. If you are curious you can reach out (email or voicemail is best) and we can figure out a time to chat for a few minutes to see if we are a good fit. Good luck on your next steps!

I received my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Bryn Mawr College in 1995, and have been a therapist since that time. I have been in private practice in State College since 2006. My approach to therapy is diverse; I tend to practice from primarily interpersonal and psychodynamic perspectives, although I also draw from cognitive-behavioral paradigms. I see my role as provider of a safe and supportive environment in which to help individuals become more aware of the multiple aspects of themselves. A main component of the therapy consists of understanding how each person’s ‘story’ impacts who they are, and affects the difficulties they presently face. Clients are encouraged to consider their readiness for change as well as options for change that are both meaningful and realistic to them.

At Unleashed Counseling, we lean on the healing power of nature and the mind-body connection to help you overcome anxiety and enhance self-compassion. We use practices such as play therapy (with Benji the Therapy Dog), walk & talk therapy, and art therapy, to create a gentle, joyful atmosphere in the counseling room. We create a safe space where we can celebrate you and your desire to grow. We specialize in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, and eating disorders, as well as the trauma often rooted underneath those concerns. Together, we can explore practical and efficient ways to manage stress, achieve goals, and create a happier, more fulfilling life. We can help you feel like yourself again.

I have a passion for working with people who want to live more fulfilling lives with a more genuine connection to themselves and others. My clients feel more empowered in their actions and relationships instead of letting their unhelpful thoughts and behaviors take over, while growing a more accepting and compassionate perspective towards themselves. It’s always a good session when my clients feel challenged and motivated to work towards their goals between sessions. I believe that much of the therapy work is completed between sessions just as much as it is in the hour minutes we will spend together each week. As a therapist, I’m not afraid of bearing witness to your pain and fear while finding ways to recognize joy and hope. I truly believe in each of my clients’ ability to grow and change. As an Exposure-based therapist, I’ll encourage you to take steps to approach your fears and reclaim your life. As a woman of color, I am sensitive to the ways that identity and mental health intersect and impact each other. I take an action-oriented and direct approach. Therapy is an investment in YOU, and I value all that my clients put into this work. I aim to “work myself out of a job” with each client, because I know that the goal isn’t to stay in treatment forever– it’s to live happier and healthier lives.
