I believe therapy is the process of getting to know and like yourself better. By looking inward, we discover how we support or undermine ourselves with thoughts, feelings, habitual body patterns and behaviors born out of pain and trauma. We start to distinguish our authentic self from who we think we need to be. When we have more information about ourself and more freedom to be authentic, we can then begin to make changes to better support ourself and create a life that is fulfilling.

I have been most helpful with clients who have clear goals or specific issues they want to address. I can work with you in a brief, specific and time-limited ways to help faciliate problem-solving and behavioral changes as needed. I can also work with you long-term to address chronic or longer standing issues of past trauma, family conflict, or issues with self and identity. Most importantly, I work collaboratively to help you meet your own needs by matching the treatment modality and plan with your stated needs and learning/attachment style. I am direct and honest, but always with permission and gentleness. I respect and value all.

As a therapist I support people who feel stuck in their personal or family lives due to feeling depressed, anxious, hurt, hopeless, or angry. All of these issues can make you feel discouraged and our lives become more difficult to manage. But, don't get discouraged. Very often pain in our lives is a necessary component for change and growth even if it does not look like that at this moment.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I recognize the individuality of each person & the importance of tailoring skills to fit your unique needs. Utilizing a solution-focused approach, I delve into underlying causes to alleviate symptoms of trauma & maladaptive thought patterns while fostering healthy coping mechanisms. I obtained my education from California University of Pennsylvania, with a minor in music. Whether you're grappling with depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, PTSD, or adjusting to life's hurdles, I'm here to support you.

I have worked with many individuals, couples, families and therapeutic groups with a wide assortment of issues and problems. I am commited to providing a safe environment to do the work of therapy. I believe that all clients have the capacity to figure out what they believe and then develop the thoughts and actions that are congruent with their own personal beliefs. Helping to facilitate this process is a privilege.

Over the past 30 plus years of providing counseling to children/adolescents, adults, couples and families, I have offered a very safe environment for people to begin healing from relationship issues, past traumas, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, etc. I particularly work with individuals going through life transitions, healing from childhood trauma and/or abuse, divorce, adoption and addiction recovery.
