As Confucius once said, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Welcome to a safe space, I commend your bravery & vulnerability to seek help for your mental health. Are you looking for a therapist that's adaptive to your needs and will also challenge you to become the best version of yourself? If you are, I may be a good fit for you. A little about me, I'm an empathic, yet irreverent, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor (CAADC) in PA. I'm also certified in DBT, a gold-standard treatment for BPD.
The goal of my practice is to help you find ways to improve your mental health symptoms so you can obtain the quality of life you desire and deserve. Whether you struggle with anxiety, emotion dysregulation, low self-esteem, relationship issues, addiction, or self-harm, I'm here to help. My non-judgmental, empowering approach has helped many clients succeed.
I use several evidence-based treatment methods, which I integrate based on your specific mental health needs. My clients often tell me they feel comfortable from our first interaction and describe me as caring, trustworthy, optimistic, intelligent & solution-oriented. Email me today to see how I may be a good fit for you!
