Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Pennsylvania. I have over 12 years in clinical practice working with a range of persons from adolescents to senior adults and veterans in a variety of settings. I aim to support people in navigating periods of uncertainty, transition, and change. I have experience in providing therapy for a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relational issues, and life stressors.
Therapy can give you the opportunity to explore what you’re feeling, reflect, learn and grow in a safe, compassionate, and psychologically supportive environment. I adapt my treatment approach based on each individual’s needs, problems and areas of concern. During sessions we can work to identify new coping strategies, explore various ways of viewing a situation, and learn tools to manage life stressors. We can explore what specific goals you have and how to go about working toward achieving those goals.
My passion is for empowering people to identify and utilize their individual strengths on their journey to optimal well-being. I am sensitive to how various social and cultural factors can and do impact the individual. I strive to respect each person’s uniqueness and would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to wellness.
I incorporate various aspects of many different therapeutic approaches due to my belief that therapy should be tailored to the individual.
I support individuals with using their current strengths to find solutions and ways to address current problems they are facing
I can assist with exploring and finding the root cause of current emotional distress while working to find relief and increase emotional awareness and wellbeing in an individual's day to day life
I have supported many people in navigating the impact of grief and loss in the acute stages of bereavement and addressing long term difficulties, developing coping strategies, and supporting improved overall functioning.
I support individuals who may request and/or express a desire to incorporate their faith with mental health treatment. I have experience incorporating Christian faith and the Bible into therapy.
