I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Behavioral Specialist in PA. After graduating in 2004 from Rosemont College, I began my work in Counseling and Behavioral Therapy. I worked for the top companies servicing clients before I decided to go out on my own. I have my private practice, Canopy Counseling Unlimited in Media, PA. I have extensive work with children, adolescents, individuals, families, blended families, and divorced parents. My counseling strength is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you feel, think, and act. The therapy aims to find practical ways to help you deal with problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts. With over 19 years of experience, I have worked with individuals diagnosed with Anxiety(Certified,) Autism (Certified) (both child and adult- with a license in this area), ADHD-(certified,) Bipolar, Depression, Stress Management, Trauma(Certified,) and too many others to list. My license in counseling helps focus on feelings and beliefs while my license in behavioral therapy helps focus on behaviors and environments that impede growth. I use both in my approach. My background in mental health has given me experience in knowing that each person's needs are special and unique and that there are no "cookie-cutter" answers to solve problems. (If that was the case there would be one book and I'd be out of a job.) I believe that therapy should be just as important as seeing your doctor or dentist regularly. With the stress of today, everyone is experiencing some parts of their life that are not what they want them to be. We will find strategies that will help you, I will teach you coping skills that will fit you, and help you process the areas in your life you want to change. You will apply these strategies and be able to see a positive change in your life. I want you to be comfortable coming to see me and feel supported. I come up with lots of ideas to help you on your journey. We will work together to understand the "whys" and build better strategies to improve the areas in your life you want to change. We will look at ways to improve communication with others and develop good self-esteem. I believe that everyone can succeed when they feel supported and not judged. I will meet you where you are and work with you on finding balance. My approach is to help individuals and families bring back and restore the balance that was once there and watch the growth that takes place! The language that I speak is English. Outside of behavioral health care and in my free time, I enjoy building things, remodeling, mission work, snow skiing, travel, spending time at the beach, and of course, time with my family.
You're feeling overwhelmed, and the constant worry and overthinking start to pile up. School already has enough challenges, and now life stuff and Covid is thrown in the mix. Anxiety sucks! It is paralyzing, and you feel stuck under all the pressure to make the right decisions, get all that work done, and keep it together. You may ask yourself, Why am I like this? Why can't I start that paper/project? I can't ever relax!" Maybe you find yourself a sensitive person, or you can't say no. Feelings of shame creep in, and it is a neverending cycle of feeling shut down while trying to navigate life transitions. Our clients are like you. Imagine being able to start that paper or make decisions without spiraling. Or going into a social situation with confidence. Better yet, not feeling alone in a room full of people. We understand how anxiety works and learned the skills to manage it not only for ourselves but to help others like you break the cycle of suffering. We focus on providing a safe space to be yourself as you process and learn skills to take control of your life.
We work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for support through life's challenges. Our clients come to us navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, coparenting conflicts, and court-involved situations. At Pathways MPS, you'll find a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can feel heard and supported. Our small team of dedicated providers takes a collaborative, individualized approach — using evidence-based and trauma-focused methods tailored to your goals, helping you build skills, gain insight, and make meaningful changes.
I have been a licensed psychologist for over 15 years. I have worked with many young adults and college students, and helped them navigate transitions during this time of life. I strive to treat the needs of each client individually and form a collaborative relationship that makes it easy to get the support you need and speak freely. I offer both in person and online therapy so you can access help right from school or home. I am able to provide out of state telehealth if you are located in or travel to another state. Email or contact me through my website for more information. I look forward to meeting you!
In therapy, I strive to create space where clients may explore their inner landscapes and make sense of themselves in their relationships and larger social contexts. I believe that most people have parts of themselves that are affirmed and other parts that have gone underground — perhaps as a result of relational injury, lack of environmental mirroring, or trauma. I seek to develop a supportive relationship where clients can begin to see the unseen and speak the unspeakable and, with self compassion and courage, work to integrate those parts and reduce suffering and experience deeper connection and meaning. That describes, in part, the process of exploratory therapy but what is a session actually like? We talk. People share their stories— maybe the latest relationship entanglement, feeling burdened with perfectionism, dissecting a racial microaggression that happened in class, or a painful memory from elementary school. I’m curious about nuance and felt experience and I reflect and ask questions to help deepen understanding. I work through psychodynamic, intersectional, and multicultural lenses. I have worked extensively with undergraduate and graduate students in both domestic and international settings. And, I have experience working with a range of presenting concerns including anxiety, stress, complex identity, immigration, and loss. I’ve been described as kind, patient, inquisitive, and discerning. Prior to moving to Princeton in 2015, I lived in China for five years during which I worked as a therapist at Community Center Shanghai and NYU Shanghai. I am originally from Taiwan and immigrated to the US as a child. My biracial and bicultural heritage along with my immigrant and expatriate experiences have created a particular interest in working with international students, immigrants, people who identify as mixed race, and students either preparing for or returning from studying abroad. My private practice is conveniently located walking distance from Princeton University campus on 344 Nassau Street. I work extensively with graduate and undergraduate students and accept PU student health insurance (students are responsible for their $10 copay).
We have multiple therapists that offer in-person and virtual sessions. We also have a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on staff for medication management.
I work with teens, adults and couples, helping with navigating difficult life transitions, improving communication skills and emotional regulation, as well as building a healthy sense of self-worth. I utilize a strengths-based and compassionate approach. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful agent for change, and that creating emotional safety within our relationship is paramount. I provide a safe and judgment-free environment so that you can learn to trust yourself and others in your life. I will work with you to help you gain self-awareness and to develop tools for creating the life you want to live. I specialize in treating relationship issues (including recovery from abuse), trauma, anxiety and depression. Together we will work on helping you to gain insight and to become more mindful of your emotions and responses to stress. I am a lifelong learner and am passionate about the work that I do. I know seeking therapy can be an overwhelming experience, and I would be happy to do a free consultation with you to address any questions or concerns you may have about the process. You can also check out my website for more information on my therapy practice.
I believe that warmth, understanding and compassion are the key to any successful and supportive therapeutic relationship and these qualities are the foundation of my practice. I have been providing counseling services to individuals, couples and families for a number of years in a variety of settings and one thing has always been the same; I learn something new from each and every client and the relationship that is built through the course of treatment is where the healing is created. I tailor my approach based on the needs of my clients and collaborate with them to identify their goals.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Springfield Psychological with over 10 years of experience treating adults 18 and over. I strive to create a comfortable atmosphere so my clients can feel heard and understood. I work to collaborate on a treatment plan that will focus on each person's individual needs, such as coping with stress, relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety and depression. I feel that everyone deserves an opportunity to be on a path that enables them to feel fulfilled in their every day lives.

✨ College can be exciting—but also overwhelming. You’re figuring out who you are, building new relationships, and trying to keep up with classes, work, and everything else. But if you’re carrying the weight of family dysfunction, toxic friendships, anxiety, guilt, and lack self confidence, it can feel harder to focus on your future. Maybe you… Worry about a parent, sibling, or you're own addiction issues. Want to explore and get support for traumatic experiences. Struggling with toxic friendships. Feel drained by family drama. Wonder if you should distance yourself from your family but feel guilty for even thinking about it. Worry you’ll ruin a good relationship because of past experiences. Find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, or struggling to set boundaries. Feel like the “black sheep” who got away—and carry guilt because of it. If any of this feels familiar, you don’t have to handle it alone. 👩⚕️ I’m a therapist who specializes in helping students and young adults break free from unhealthy patterns, heal from family dysfunction, and build confidence in who they are and what they want. 💛 You deserve to feel secure, supported, and in control of your own story. I'm here for you. Schedule a FREE 15-minute consultation today. *I am a specialized relationships therapist, so I do not take insurance but we might be able to file for reimbursement from your insurance company. I can help you with this. Reach out today.
College life is exciting - but it can also feel overwhelming. Between academics, athletics, social pressures, career planning, and navigating independence, it’s easy to feel anxious, stressed, or unsure of yourself. I work with college students who are ready to take control of their mental health, build resilience, and feel more confident in their daily lives. I specialize in supporting students who experience anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges related to self-esteem, motivation, or life transitions. I also work with students navigating substance use or patterns that feel out of control. Many of the students I see are high achievers who feel pressure to “do it all” or struggle with perfectionism. In therapy, my approach is practical, collaborative, and personalized. We focus on building skills to manage stress, cope with difficult emotions, and create routines that help you thrive academically, socially, and personally. Together, we explore what matters most to you and how to make choices that align with your goals and values. If you’re looking for a space where you can be honest, be seen, and learn strategies that actually work in the context of student life, I’d love to support you.
I truly believe that your therapist should feel like your best friend that is not your friend. I believe in the therapeutic working relationship. I will work just as hard as you do. You are behind the drivers seat and you are the expert of your life. You know what you need and want. I just want to be the tour guide throughout your healing journey. I have been in the helping profession for over 16 years. I have provided counseling to children as young as 5 and adults over 90 years old. I have experience with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ODD, BPD, anger, PTSD, self harm, grief, addiction, marriage counseling, co-parenting, couples, parent-child, EMDR, and family therapy. I am also EMDR certified. Life can be complicated and overwhelming at times. I would love to help you navigate!
I have had the privilege of helping people in the counseling field since 2015! I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Drexel University in 2017 and I earned my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in School Counseling from Holy Family University in 2020. I work full-time as a school and college counselor and obtained my License as a Professional Counselor while doing so. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing techniques to empower individuals to understand themselves and to achieve their goals by overcoming anxiety, depression, stress, life changes, and difficulty making decisions. I enjoy facilitating sessions for adolescents and young adults so that we can collaborate together for me to warmly provide goal setting, direct feedback, and flexibility in sessions to best support your needs and wellbeing.
