Virtual Therapy for Teens, Young Adults, & Families in Pennsylvania
A Safe Place to Land. A Stronger Way Forward.
Growing up, finding your direction, and navigating life's challenges aren't always easy.
Whether you're a teen feeling overwhelmed, a young adult trying to figure out what's next, an athlete struggling with pressure, or a parent unsure how to help, you don't have to navigate it alone.
At Steady Wings Counseling, I provide personalized virtual therapy throughout Pennsylvania, helping teens, college students, young adults, and athletes manage anxiety, ADHD, emotional challenges, and life transitions while building the confidence and skills to move forward.
Growing up with ADHD taught me that there's often more going on with a kid than what you see on the surface. I had plenty of energy and good intentions, but staying focused, managing my emotions, and getting started on assignments didn't always come easily. Whether in the classroom or on the soccer field, I wanted to do well, even if my actions didn't always show it. I had a lot of strengths. I just hadn't figured out how to use them yet.
Having a mentor who saw beyond my struggles made a lasting difference. He helped me recognize that my energy could be enthusiasm, my competitiveness could be determination, and that I had more going for me than I realized. That experience inspired me to become a therapist and help young people and families recognize their own potential.
That's the kind of support I hope to offer when we work together. We'll have real conversations, work through challenges, and build on your strengths, with encouragement and probably a little humor along the way. If that sounds like the kind of support you're looking for, I'd love the chance to get to know you and see how I can help.
Why I Do This
You Don't Need to Have All the Answers Before Asking for Help
Sometimes, the hardest part is feeling like you should be able to figure everything out on your own.
Maybe you're doing your best but still feeling stuck, unsure of yourself, or overwhelmed by expectations. Or maybe you're a parent who sees your child struggling and wishes you knew how to help.
At Steady Wings Counseling, you don't need to show up with a plan or the right words. We'll start with what's going on in your life, talk about what matters most to you, and work together to find a way forward that feels right.
You don't have to figure it all out alone.

Teen and Student Counseling
There's a Lot Going On Under the Surface
Growing up can feel overwhelming. Through teen counseling, I help middle and high school students navigate anxiety, school stress, friendships, and big emotions while building confidence, healthy coping skills, and a stronger sense of self. -

College Student & Young Adult Therapy
There's No Manual for What's Next
From academic pressure and relationships to independence and figuring out your future, young adulthood can bring a lot of uncertainty. I help college students and young adults work through anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions while discovering what matters to them.

Let's Get Back on the Same Team

Sport Psychology & Counseling for Student-Athletes
Your Mind Is Part of Your Game
Performance anxiety, frustration, setbacks, and pressure to succeed can take the enjoyment out of sports. I help student-athletes develop emotional regulation skills, handle mistakes, and strengthen their mental approach to competition.
It's Not Just About Feeling Better. It's About Becoming More Capable.

You don't need to be experiencing a major crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes the signs are subtle, like increased anxiety, ADHD-related difficulties, declining grades, low self-esteem, or struggles with friendships and everyday responsibilities. Whether you're a parent unsure how to help your child, a teenager navigating school and relationships, or a young adult finding your footing, counseling offers a welcoming space to feel heard, work through challenges, and build confidence. If any of this sounds familiar, reaching out might be the first step toward feeling better.

Session frequency depends on your needs, goals, and availability. Many people begin with weekly sessions to establish consistency and build momentum. As we make progress, we can discuss whether a different schedule makes sense.
-
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to counseling. We'll discuss your concerns, personal history, and what you'd like to get out of therapy. There's no expectation to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. My approach is relaxed, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel comfortable while we develop a plan that fits your needs.
-
I offer secure, virtual therapy throughout Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia and surrounding communities. Whether you're joining from your couch or another private, comfortable space (pets are always welcome to make an appearance!), you can settle in wherever you feel most at ease. I'll send you a secure, HIPAA-compliant video link at least 24 hours before your session, so all you need to do is log in and show up as you are.
-
I believe quality mental health care should be accessible and affordable. My self-pay rate is $150 per session, and I accept several major insurance plans, including Aetna, Highmark, Independence Blue Cross (IBX), and UnitedHealthcare. For clients using out-of-network benefits, we can provide superbills that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I also offer a limited number of sliding-scale appointments based on financial need. Please reach out to learn more about our rates, insurance coverage, and available payment options!

Getting started is easier than you might think! I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss what you're looking for, answer questions about our counseling services, and determine whether we're a good fit. Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself, your teenager, or your family, there's no pressure or commitment. It's simply a chance to connect and explore what support might look like.
