Congratulations on taking the first step! It can be overwhelming to start something new, but remember that you have already made progress by acknowledging that you want to take action. My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. As a therapist, it's essential to have a wide range of therapeutic tools and techniques to help clients navigate their challenges. Whether it's helping adolescents and teens manage stress and anxiety, assisting adults with depression or trauma, or supporting couples in strengthening their relationships, each client requires a customized approach.
I have over 15 years of experience in the counseling field in various settings including: outpatient and community based settings, PA state vocational rehabilitation agencies, and corporate health programs. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and EMDR trained therapist.
I want you to know that I am committed to supporting you on your journey towards personal growth and mental wellness. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight into your behaviors, and develop new skills to overcome challenges. I promise to be there for you every step of the way
