Life presents us with a variety of stressors and demands that at times may feel difficult to manage. Experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, or memories of disturbing past events may feel overwhelming and prevent us from fully living in the present. Or, we may feel stuck and unsure of what to do next. If you are experiencing similar challenges, I want to help you to process them, identify strengths, and utilize those strengths to heal. I will provide a safe, supportive, judgment-free space for you to share your story, help you to be present focused, and cope with difficult emotions and situations.
I am an experienced, trauma-informed, person-centered, licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania working with adults on issues related to trauma, phobias, anxiety, depression, improving self-esteem, anger, and grief and loss.
While I work closely with each individual person to develop a customized treatment plan, I utilize evidence-based approaches such as (not limited to) cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed treatment modalities including EMDR. I welcome you and look forward to helping you achieve your treatment goals.
