I started my therapy career as a Drug & Alcohol dual diagnosis counselor in 2016 and have expanded my client base and areas of concentration ever since then. I work with clients suffering from traumatic experiences, addiction, depression, anxiety, grief & loss, personality disorders, and family issues. My client population is 18 and over and I do individual as well as couples counseling, both in person and on telehealth. I use EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, grounding skills, and emotional regulation techniques to help my clients reach their goals.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marywood University. I am trained in EMDR and also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).
My experience has shown me that the number one indicator of a client’s ability to heal is the strength of the relationship that is created between therapist and client. My approach is to always allow you to grow at your own pace, and to form a partnership where together, we can overcome the obstacles in your path and help you to achieve wellness.
