Adults Therapists in Jersey Shore, PA

I often introduce myself as one of the most awkward counselors people will meet, but only as a reminder that it’s okay to be human. Are you also neurospicy and maybe just need time to take off that mask? Let's do that. We can also develop tools needed to advocate against whichever systems of oppression you find yourself most affected and marginalized by. My clients often seek support for issues related to lifestyle design, behavior change, childhood trauma, identity + sexuality, gender affirming care, attachment issues, relationships, and substance use/abuse.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor- licensed in Pennsylvania with over 17 years of experience.

I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Motivating people to help them help themselves has provided past clients with long term success.

Picture it: you walk into the therapy office or sit in your favorite comfy chair to start your Telehealth session. You're identifing your triggers, building coping skills, and decreasing thought patterns that cause you to feel overwhelmed, less-than, and stuck. You're building healthy communication skills, creating and enforcing boundaries, and building trusting, secure attachments. You're overcoming life's challenges with greater ease and feeling more confident. You're learning to be your most authentic self. All of these things can be possible through therapy and I'd love to support you through the process.
