About
As someone who has experienced trauma and life after divorce, I bring a deeply empathetic, real-world perspective to helping others find emotional stability and renewed strength.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 2 years of experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I strive to create a safe, steady space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to move toward clarity and healing. My work centers on helping people build confidence, regulate emotions, and reconnect with their strengths as they take meaningful steps toward personal well-being.
I earned my doctoral degree in nursing from Chamberlain University. My approach integrates evidence-based, person-centered treatment with practical tools that help clients make real progress. I draw from cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based practices to support emotional balance and long-term resilience.
You deserve a space where you can breathe, feel heard, and begin healing at your own pace. Whether you are exploring past experiences, developing coping skills, or seeking greater stability, I am here to support you with compassion and clarity. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to help you begin your next steps toward growth, confidence, and lasting change.

My go-to approach for helping kids in child therapy is to make learning fun and interactive! In child therapy find the best benefit in creating a strong connection with both child and parent because parents have their child 95% of the week, whereas I get 1 hour. Parents are a needed and effective partner in therapy! My go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is building a strong relationship of trust and genuine connection where teens feel safe to share openly. In teen counseling, find the best benefit in mixing fun activities with talk therapy because teens still enjoy fun activities and tend to open up more when you start with an enjoyable opener that takes the pressure off of just talking.
I teach the following tools in child therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in child therapy when the child and parents both report their household feels calmer and they feel more equipped to handle triggers and difficult moments. In teen counseling, I know a client is making meaningful progress when their parents, teacher, and themselves report things are going well outside of the therapy room.
Clients can supplement their time in child therapy with the practice of coping skills, having habitual and expected one-on-one time between parents and child to talk and check-in, and ensuring they are noting items throughout the week that would be important for both parent and child to address in their next session. Similarly, clients can supplement their time in teen counseling by talking openly with parents during habitual one-on-one time with their parent, journaling, and practicing applying skills learned in sessions outside the therapy room.
Thriveworks child & teen counseling in Bethlehem helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health.

Child & teen counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child & teen counseling at Thriveworks in Bethlehem, PA depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child & teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
