Hi! I am a Pennsylvania based Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) currently accepting new virtual clients. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling and Addiction Studies from Immaculata University in 2015 and have clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My goal is to help individuals in all stages of addiction recovery -- this might mean you are considering 12 step meetings for the first time, just completed inpatient treatment, want to strengthen a current recovery program, or would like to develop a relapse prevention plan.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session I will gather some background information, provide space for you to explore current challenges, and we will discuss goals and a plan for follow up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My therapeutic approach is strength based, individualized, solution focused, and direct.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy helping those with a relapse history understand how relapse is a process, not an event. Together we can explore how self defeating behaviors and core beliefs can lead to disfunction in recovery, and create a plan to address and intervene on this process in a healthy way.
