Hello! If you’re a new client, it is a pleasure to welcome you to New Journey! If you’re considering to reach out, I am so thankful that you’re here! I am a therapist who is passionate about matching my approach to your family’s needs and cultural dynamics. We all have goals in mind that we like to work towards, and I aim to be a support in that path. Building a strong, trustworthy, therapeutic relationship is a first step in learning what steps to take in a therapy setting, and implementing therapy into our personal goals helps us learn how to be a better version of ourselves.

My Background

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have held positions as a caseworker, supervisor, trainer, and child & family therapist in the Lancaster community for almost 20 years. I have extensive coursework and training in the field of play therapy. My professional experience includes work with clients from early childhood through adult. Most of my work has been focused around the foster care and adoption realm, along with strong experience in early childhood development.

My Specialities 

Specializations include working with clients with developmental trauma, developmental delays, anxiety, ADHD, parenting difficulties, PTSD, Autism, Depression, and foster and adoptive family dynamics. I am an attachment-based therapist with focus on supporting whole family dynamics through prescriptive, client-centered interventions, parenting support and strategies, as well as tapping into whole family relationships and local community resources. I have also recently been trained in EMDR and look forward to utilizing this modality with clients.
