My approach is based upon finding a mutual language that we both understand & incorporating therapeutic interventions into terms you already know. I believe that those who are this far in seeking out support (you are reading an “about me” from a therapist), already have an idea of what they want to improve, be better at, &/or overcome, but might not fully know where to start or how to reach the end goal. I work collaboratively with my clients, to encourage & empower them to manage their own lives.

I am a National Board Certified Counselor (NCC), and licensed professional counselor in PA with 5 years of clinical experience primarily working with children and adolescents in individual, group, and family therapy. I provide a professional therapeutic relationship to individuals experiencing but not limited to anxiety, panic, depression, grief/loss, and relationship issues. I have experience in working with clients who experience self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Treatment is tailored to the client and their presenting concerns with a goal of achieving overall wellness.

Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with children/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in children/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.

Everyday life often brings about many joys but also presents us with many obstacles, challenges, and disappointments that sometimes feel unbearable and lead us feeling overwhelmed, sad, and hopeless. The way we think and process these events lead to how we feel about ourselves in relation to the world. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to treat disorders related to anxiety, depression, grief, anger, obsessions, and compulsions. I assist individuals with developing the tools and skills necessary to make cognitive and behavioral changes that can open doors of opportunity for change, growth and personal fulfillment.

I have worked to create an integrated, evidence-based, and holistic group practice where my vision of the ideal environment for growth can unfold.

We have cultivated an environment of peace, warmth, and acceptance to assure you will be respected, unconditionally.
