About
Having witnessed the realities of trauma, burnout, and resilience firsthand, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and build confidence in their healing journey.
I am a licensed associate professional counselor (LAPC) with 6 years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, crises, and life transitions. I specialize in helping clients explore how past experiences shape their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My background includes crisis work, inpatient care, and trauma-informed support, and I am passionate about helping clients feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania. My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients challenge unhelpful patterns and build practical coping skills.
I believe everyone has the capacity to heal, even when life feels overwhelming. I strive to create a safe, empathetic space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we can develop tools that foster clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being. When you are ready, I am here to help you take the next step.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Allentown, PA is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Allentown, PA work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
