I am licensed in Florida and Pennsylvania with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationships and communication, trauma and abuse, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My job is to help you utilize those strengths. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we'll start with brief introductions. Then we'll begin to explore what has brought you to seek counseling and discuss what the process will be like now that you are here. This is an information gathering session for me so I can start to get to know you, your goals, and help you formulate a plan for change.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a clinician I feel my greatest strength is my calm demeanor. I am fortunate to have a naturally calming presence and believe this is valued by my current clients. I am also very inquisitive and pride myself in asking questions that often deepen exploration and growth in clients.
