About
As someone with significant trauma, I have worked hard to create peace within myself; now I strive to expand my knowledge, share insights, and provide support to others in any way I can.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 1 year of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My passion for helping others began in teaching and caregiving before I discovered my calling in counseling. I work with clients ages 12+ from diverse backgrounds to address trauma, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. I strive to create a space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can take root.
I earned a Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Moravian University. My approach integrates compassion, collaboration, and perspective-building to foster personal growth. I help clients reframe challenges, explore new insights, and strengthen their sense of security and resilience through open dialogue and mutual understanding.
You deserve a therapist who truly sees and accepts you without judgment. I will meet you with honesty, empathy, and respect, creating a safe space where you can do more than survive. My goal is to empower you to build the life you desire, one rooted in growth, peace, and authenticity.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Allentown, PA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Allentown can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.
Mental health conditions can get in the way of your productivity, your career, your relationships with others, and your overall happiness. Just as you would go to see a doctor if you felt physically unwell, psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers can provide a medical perspective to help get your mental health back on track.

If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness that are interfering with your daily life, consider reaching out to a Thriveworks psychiatric provider located in Allentown, PA. We are ready to help you get the treatment you need.
A psychiatrist’s main role in your care is to help diagnose and treat whatever underlying mental health issues you may be experiencing. Once a diagnosis is reached, your psychiatric provider can create a treatment plan that incorporates talk therapy and/or medication. Various forms of talk therapy are often used, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, interpersonal therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). While psychiatric providers are equipped to carry out talk therapy on their own, they may also refer you to a Thriveworks psychologist or therapist to conduct more consistent therapy sessions.
If medication would be helpful for your symptoms, your psychiatric provider will ensure that you are taking the proper amount and can adjust your prescription to work best for your needs. Some of the medications a psychiatrist may prescribe include:
