Your brain and body are exhausted from overthinking, spiraling, and stressing about things out of your control. You're over the sleepless nights, frustration and letting your mind completely take over your life. It's time shut down all the noise and begin truly living. Therapy with me is both real talk& hype woman. I'm a licensed professional counselor in SC & PA who specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma and stress management. Healing happens when you feel heard, in a space to be the real you without fear of judgment. A space to be validated and reconnect with the most empowered version of you.

Clients should know that I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space while also being direct and goal-oriented. I understand that many individuals come to therapy during difficult or uncertain times, and my role is to help you gain clarity, stability, and direction.

I have extensive experience working with individuals managing complex life stressors, including legal involvement, trauma, and mental health challenges. I also have a strong background in working with clients who may need additional structure, support, or guidance in navigating systems and life transitions.

My approach is collaborative—I meet you where you are while also helping you move forward with practical tools and strategies. I value honesty, consistency, and building a therapeutic relationship that feels both safe and productive.

I have over twenty years of experience working as a counselor. I believe in taking the time to invest in helping people see their own solutions to their problems. I prefer to walk with them on the journey to find these solutions as a shared approach. I sincerely do care about the person and getting to know each and every one I work with by meeting them where they are at. I am willing to incorporate some faith based (Christian) perspectives into treatment if asked yet I will not push this on you. I believe that we all have stories to tell and that these stories shape our every day life. My goal is to help people work on their anxiety, depression or other issues related to their daily lives in a way that they can become more active and healthy in their lives and relationships around them.

About Me

I'm not your typical psychotherapist, and everyone I've had the honor to work with on their life's journey can attest to this. Born, raised and forged in the "Steel City" and sharpened in the "City of Brotherly Love", the term "Alchemist" more accurately describes who I am. I specialize in alchemizing pain into purpose and trauma into triumph. If you're ready to transform your life, I'm your guy!

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 ❤️

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working in the mental field for more than 6 years. I received my Master's Degree at California University of Pennsylvania in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience with anxiety, depression, and trauma. My passion is working with adult women but am open to working with teens as well as adult men.

My background has been shaped by walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult and vulnerable experiences. I began working in hospice care, where I learned the importance of presence, compassion, and creating space for grief and meaning at the end of life. From there, I moved into intensive case management and addiction counseling in a methadone clinic, supporting individuals navigating substance use, trauma, and significant life challenges. Over time, my work has focused more deeply on individuals living with complex trauma, dissociation, personality disorders, severe mental illness, and experiences of domestic violence. These experiences have taught me how important it is to move gently, build trust at a pace that feels safe, and truly meet people where they are. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental presence into the therapy room, with the understanding that healing often begins in feeling seen, understood, and not alone.

I am a doctorally prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across all stages of life. My work is rooted in a genuine belief that mental health care should feel human, not clinical or distant. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and never judged. I see myself not only as a provider, but as someone in your corner who is committed to helping you feel better, think more clearly, and move forward with confidence.
