An ideal client for me is someone who is interested in doing a deep analysis of themselves because I believe that looking to the past allows clients to uncover hidden meanings or patterns that they can use to breakdown faulty beliefs, align with core values, find purpose, and heal. My approach works best for adults and teens who are navigating: trauma/PTSD, grief/loss, major life transitions, neurodivergence (ADHD/autism, late diagnosed, chronic masking, etc.), no/low contact family situations, identity exploration, anxiety, OCD, and personality issues.
In our work together, clients often learn to feel safe within their own body, understand how their patterns were shaped by earlier experiences, reconnect with their values/purpose, give themselves space to grieve, and create more authentic relationships.
NOTE: I am an associate licensed counselor practicing under supervision in PA. I would love to connect to see if my approach is right for you.

My work is guided by existentialism, which is focused on the core fears we all as humans experience. In sessions, we will discuss what brought you to therapy primarily as a starting point for deeper exploration. My aim is to find and mend the root of the pain, not just treat the symptoms caused by it, regardless of presenting issue/illness.

Existentialism is the guiding framework I use, but I also pull in various techniques tailored to each client's unique needs. I see the client as the expert in the room because no one knows your experience better than you. I am simply trained to ask the right questions to promote deep self-exploration. You are in complete control of where we go. You lead, I follow.
