Outpatient was the destination and I landed in 2007. Prior to that, I worked in Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services, Family Based Mental Health Services, and a Residential Treatment Facility. Bachelor's in Psychology. Master's in Counseling (Existential, Humanistic, Phenomenological, CBT, MFT). Post-grad in Gestalt. When Covid happened and most of my case-load went to Zoom, I moved my office to my house since it felt silly to drive somewhere just to jump on a computer. It's 15-20 min north of Harrisburg in the cornfields before Halifax. More than welcome to do In-Person or Zoom.
In addition to traditional non-directive psychotherapy, I also offer directive psychotherapy, yoga classes, and barbell strength training.
I have an assistant who handles the phone while I'm in session but we also have online scheduling if you'd like to DIY. Let me know if you have any q's!
