About
As someone who has experienced significant adversity and obstacles in my own life, I understand what it means to keep showing up for yourself, and I bring that lived perspective into my work with compassion, empathy, and a genuine belief in each person’s ability to heal and grow.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I work with teens, adults, and couples who may be feeling stuck, questioning their self-worth, struggling to understand themselves or their relationships, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life. I also support clients who are working through relationship difficulties, seeking to repair and strengthen connections, or learning how to establish healthy and meaningful boundaries.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I help you identify patterns, strengthen self-worth, improve communication, and develop boundaries. You can expect a safe space where you're honest while working toward meaningful goals. I tailor my approach to your pace, helping you gain insight, build confidence, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when handling things alone. You don't need to have everything figured out. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin making sense of what you've been carrying. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, understood, and more connected to the person you want to become.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of experience. I completed my Master's degree in clinical mental health counseling at Kutztown University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based practices. I specialize in depression, anxiety, attachment disorders, psychosis, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and ADHD. I strive to establish a strong therapeutic relationship and create a safe, nonjudgmental environment that fosters trust and understanding. My goal is to empower clients with tools and strategies for meaningful change.
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. These evidence-based practices help clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I assist clients to build resilience, enhance problem-solving skills, and improve their overall well-being.
It takes considerable strength and resilience to acknowledge when we're struggling and need help. I'm committed to being present and providing guidance in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your challenges and work toward positive change. I invite you to schedule a session.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with 2 years of experience. Before becoming a social worker, I spent 2 decades providing counseling and crisis intervention in the nonprofit sector. My work has included supporting individuals, couples, and groups from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating faith-based trauma and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach to guide healing and growth.
I received my Master’s in Social Work from West Chester University. My approach emphasizes safety, trust, and empowerment. I help clients define what healing looks like for them and create achievable goals along the way. I am trained in narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
I believe therapy is both humbling and transformative. It takes courage to seek help and open yourself to the process. My goal is to offer a compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and grow. When you feel ready, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
Pamela: I base my couple's counseling work on Gottman's research, as we can predict with 93% accuracy whether partners will divorce/split up based on four factors.
Kerri: My go-to approach for helping people in couples counseling is to work on improving communication. I find that most problems in relationships can be greatly improved with more effective communication skills.
Pamela: I provide teaching on Gottman's well-researched factors most predictive of breakups and their antidotes.
Kerri: I teach the following tools in couples counseling:
Pamela: I know a client is making progress in couples/marriage counseling when they report increased relational satisfaction (in-session rating scale) and show returning trust & joy in their relationship.
Kerri: I know clients are making meaningful progress in couples counseling when they share that they are spending more quality time together and feel a greater sense of love and trust between them.
Pamela: Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with on-topic videos, readings, and relational exercises I will recommend.
Kerri: Clients can supplement their time in couples counseling by spending time outside of their therapy sessions practicing the skills they learn in sessions. Additionally, they can read books, listen to podcasts, and find resources online about relationships.
Pamela: To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can start building a list of what is and is not working in the relationship, and please include a list of relational goals.
Kerri: To prepare for your first couples counseling session, you can ensure that both partners have signed the consent for treatment forms and that Zoom is set up on your computer or phone. You and your partner can also discuss your relationship goals in order to have a clear view of what you hope to accomplish in couples counseling.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It 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 couples therapy include:
Couples therapy 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 couples therapy 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.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
