About Us

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”

Education and Background: After graduating from Bloomsburg University in the Spring of 1999 with a degree in Social Welfare and Criminal Justice, I obtained my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from West Chester University. I have been working as a certified school counselor in Bucks County, PA since the Fall of 2003. In 2018, I received my Autism Endorsement Certificate from Holy Family University and joined a private practice in Doylestown, PA as a behavioral therapist. After completing 3,000 supervised hours of clinical therapy at my private practice, I obtained my license to practice counseling (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania.

I currently work with children between the ages of 4 and 12. My specialties include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depressive Disorders, ADHD and Executive Functioning, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I also help children work through issue surrounding family strife, separation and divorce, self-identity, self-esteem, social skills, making and maintaining relationships, school avoidance and transitional issues.

Philosophy: I primarily use a Solution-Focused Therapy approach. Solution-Focused Therapy incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, which help clients to change by constructing solutions, rather than focusing on problems. I will often use an activity-based approach to promote goal setting and enhance therapeutic outcomes. Other counseling techniques I employ are Art Therapy, Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.

Personal: I live in North Wales, PA with my husband and our 18-year-old daughter. My son is a 2022 graduate of West Chester University who lives and works in Chicago. I have a young Basset Hound named Slinky Dog, a certified therapy dog, who loves going to work and is available to come to sessions, by request. I also have two cats, Chuck and River, who prefer to stay at home and bird watch!

“Never let fear hold you back from something you want to do.”

Education and Background: I graduated from Penn State University in 2009 with my undergraduate in education. Immediately after graduating, I continued on to my master’s degree and received a master’s degree from Holy Family University in counseling psychology. From there, I started my own business and ran that for 11 years. In 2021 I decided to take some time off and stay at home with my children until they were in school. In early 2024, I came back to the field and have been actively practicing clinical therapy at a private practice.

I currently work with children and young adults ages ranging from 6 to 24. My specialties include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depressive Disorders, ADHD, anger issues including Oppositional Defiant Disorder, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and school related problems. I also focus on difficult life events such as family separation or divorce, changes in self-identity, or struggles with social relationships and/or school-related issues. These are crucial developmental concerns that can impact a child's emotional well-being and overall growth.

Philosophy: I am committed to helping all children and young adults learn how to create a safe space to explore their emotions and develop coping skills to build healthy relationships within their lives. My therapeutic style is personal, interactive and collaborative. I want to ensure that children and young adults feel accepted for who they are and to encourage an atmosphere of understanding, where feelings, thoughts, and experiences are heard without judgment. I will let clients know that it’s okay to express their emotions, whether through words, art, writing, or physical activities. I also want them to explore different ways of expressing their feelings while feeling confident in themselves. I will teach my clients that it's essential to establish clear, respectful boundaries; ensuring that people feel safe and that their personal space (emotionally and physically) is respected. This can help them develop a sense of control over their environment. In addition to establishing healthy boundaries, I will encourage them to build connections with others who respect and support them. Healthy relationships are key to one’s emotional growth. I will be there to provide ongoing support through counseling and will strive for all children and young adults to gain a better understanding of their personal strengths and abilities to help increase their confidence.

Personal: I currently live in Furlong, PA with my two boys who are five and seven. We also have a very large Great Dane named Rilye who believes she is a lap dog. If you are a dog lover, she is your girl, she loves to lie next to you and be your biggest supporter. 

“Happiness is not something that happens to people, but instead is something that they make happen.” — Edward M. Hallowell, M.D.

He uses psychodrama, art and music therapy, bright light therapy, and calming techniques, and often assigns practical strategies to help children build self-regulation skills.

Education and Background: I am a graduate of Gwynedd Mercy University with a master's degree in school counseling and a certification in clinical mental health counseling. I am also a certified holistic life coach and yoga teacher. My counseling career began with the School District of Philadelphia but after several years, I began to work in private practice.

My approach to counseling is a mix of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I support my clients in learning to identify their thoughts and behaviors while simultaneously developing methods to help them feel empowered. I take a very holistic approach to therapy, meaning I work with clients to enhance each pillar of their well being. Through my counseling style, I specialize in supporting my clients with communication skills, trauma recovery, major life transitions, self-esteem, positive relationships, healthy sexuality, and school/work-related concerns. 

Philosophy: I am committed to creating an open, safe, and consistent environment where clients feel comfortable speaking freely and expressing themselves fully. When a client walks into my office, I want to assure them that it is a space where judgement does not reside. We are all individuals with pasts, presents, and futures who have made mistakes and are actively learning from them. Self-development is a consistent practice that does not adhere to a specific age. No matter who you are and no matter how old you are, we are all actively creating a better world for ourselves. I will assure this level of comfortability by developing a healthy relationship with each of my clients that is both open and abides to a clear set of boundaries. Through this, we can collaboratively conquer any problems and concerns that come along the way. 

Personal: I currently reside in Ambler with my partner, Eric. We have a dog named Brody and a cat named Kitten. I am still an active yoga instructor and practice yoga daily. I love cooking for my loved ones, but I also enjoy exploring new restaurants. Eric and I are travelers at heart and try to travel several times a year. My other hobbies include going for long walks, hiking, reading both fiction and nonfiction, and gardening.

Education and Background: In 2023, I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Delaware Valley University. Immediately following, I completed my master’s degree at my alma mater in Counseling Psychology in May 2026. At my internship site, a local private practice, I gained extensive experience working with various populations (children through adults) experiencing concerns including, but not limited to, neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, self-harm, and adjustment to life transitions. I also have experience co-facilitating assessments for ADHD and autism.

While obtaining my degrees, I worked in various counseling roles in school settings. This included an alternative school that utilized a restorative practice/reality therapy approach. In this role, I provided individual and group counseling, as well as collaborated with families and school districts for students ages 13–18 (7th–12th grade). I also have experience working as a SAP counselor in elementary, middle, and high schools. There, I provided short-term, problem-solving sessions with students, collaborated with schools and families, and conducted screenings and assessments to support families in obtaining outside counseling resources.

Philosophy: I approach each client from an individualized perspective. My eclectic approach includes interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and play therapy. My interests and passions lie in helping children through young adults (ages 4–24) who are seeking support with depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, eating disorders, PTSD, adjustment to life transitions, and emotional regulation.

Personal: I currently live in Sellersville with my husband, George, and our 7-year-old daughter. When I am not working or in school, I enjoy spending time with my family. I also enjoy traveling (especially to warm climates), shopping, reading, watching reality television, and spending time with friends.

It’s never too late for a new beginning in your life

Background/Education: I am a 2023 graduate of Quakertown Community High School. Throughout my high school education, I was involved with “Best Buddies”, a program meant to provide inclusion and long-lasting friendships for children with different abilities. This experience introduced me to the various needs of children and gave me a passion for wanting to be a positive influence in their lives. Taking AP Psychology and speaking with my guidance counselor, who owned a private practice, introduced me to the world of psychology. My senior year, I participated in a field study that took place at my local  police department and the Doylestown courthouse. Through this experience, I learned the impact mental health has on our everyday lives. I am currently in my last year of my undergraduate degree in Counseling Psychology at Delaware Valley University. I have taken a broad range of psychology classes, which enhanced my knowledge of the need for mental health support in the community. 

This summer, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Camelot for Children in Allentown, PA. This is a non-profit organization that enriches the lives of children with medical complexities. It was heartwarming to know that I was able to provide emotional support and bring joy to these children and their families. As an intern at New Outlook Therapies, I will gain hands-on experience and a better understanding of psychology concepts used in real-life situations. I will be enrolling in graduate school next fall to obtain a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. In the next five years, I see myself joining a private practice. 

Personal: I live in Quakertown, PA, with my family and our yellow lab Ace. I enjoy reading fiction, specifically romance/fantasy. My other hobbies include working out at the gym, being outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and learning how to play golf.
