I have been a counselor for a decade in PA prior to relocating from Brooklyn, NY where I worked in wellness coaching. I take an integrated clinical approach at how the mind and body are impacted by our environments and relationships.

Life can feel hard sometimes. It is easy to slip into auto-pilot and feel helpless. I utilize CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches to help clients be more present in their own lives.

As a counselor, I remain true to myself in the sense that I am direct, warm, honest, compassionate, and expressive with my reactions. I tend to be casual in my approach, so if something is funny, I will laugh with you, and if something is sad or distressing, I will share those feelings with you as well. While it is important to me that I remain as objective as possible, I firmly believe that the therapist themself serves as a tool that contributes to your therapeutic process. For that reason, I believe our connection must be fostered collaboratively and authentically.

Everyday life often brings about many joys but also presents us with many obstacles, challenges, and disappointments that sometimes feel unbearable and lead us feeling overwhelmed, sad, and hopeless. The way we think and process these events lead to how we feel about ourselves in relation to the world. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to treat disorders related to anxiety, depression, grief, anger, obsessions, and compulsions. I assist individuals with developing the tools and skills necessary to make cognitive and behavioral changes that can open doors of opportunity for change, growth and personal fulfillment.

I believe that the foundation of a strong Marriage and family begins with healthy communication and understanding. Through our counseling sessions, I help families develop effective communication skills, build deeper spiritual connections, and work through any conflicts or challenges that may arise. As a Christian Counselor specializing in Marriage and family, I can empathize with most people when dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, ADD, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorders.

I believe effective psychotherapy is grounded in the relationship between the therapist and client. My style is warm, empathic, and interactive. As a collaborative partner, I am committed to providing a space that can hold past, present and future aspects of your inner world that can be intolerable alone, but in therapy can lead to new life possibilities and new ways of being. As humans, our identity is often layered and complex, and I seek to empower your most authentic self.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Between school, work, stress, and feeling less motivated, it's easy to forget to take care of YOU.

Whether you're experiencing a recent difficulty or a long-standing challenge, most of my clients trace depression and anxiety issues back to trauma. When people are traumatized, it often shapes their beliefs about themselves or their lives. Utilizing a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment, I strive to help my clients identify underlying beliefs, address certain behaviors, attitudes and emotions. We collaborate to establish healthier and more effective patterns of behaviors. I believe when we attain insight we can feel increased freedom and optimism; we no longer feel "stuck" and hopeless in our pain.
