I enjoy working with people who are feeling motivated to work on their goals. They might struggle with issues like depression, anxiety, social phobia or insomnia, but they have a strong desire to improve their mental health and overall well-being. Their needs could include support, guidance, and coping strategies to manage their symptoms effectively. Their goals might involve achieving a better understanding of their emotions and behaviors, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and improving their quality of life. Ultimately, they want to feel happier, more fulfilled, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges.

I truly care about what you are experiencing. Having the right support is the key to being able to overcome areas that are keeping you stuck. You have managed to cope and survive this long, but perhaps it feels like you don't have all of the tools or insights to find true relief from symptoms or difficulties you are experiencing. You are constantly weighed down by anxiety, holding yourself to high standards with little time for restoration, or haunted by the lingering effects of trauma. Perhaps you have tried therapy before and wonder how to really get the most of it.

The ideal client doesn't exist. Everybody has issues ranging from traumatic experiences, difficulty family dynamics, medical comorbidities... the list goes on. What I ultimately aim to do is maximize and enhance overall well being through a therapeutic alliance. Many people find that their issue is simply not being able to comprehend or emotionally regulate themselves in a difficult situation. They need skills to do this. Their goal is to be able to function independently as much as possible. They want to thrive in the face of adversity because to them that means strength and courage.

I believe in a strengths-based approach to treatment, which means I start by working to understand who my client is, what their concerns/goals are, and how they can best be approached. This allows me to collaborate with my clients to develop effective coping skills for substance use, anxiety, depression, adjustment to aging, grief, relationship stress and boundary setting, or reactions to trauma. I also have experience with queer populations (LGBTQ+). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of professional experience in nonprofit and an additional 5 years in therapy practice.
