Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in central-Pennsylvania. I obtained my Bachelor's from Susquehanna University and my Master's from the University of South Carolina. I have been practicing since 2019 independently, but have been working in the mental health field since 2017. I help individuals learn healthy communication skills, emotional regulation, coping skills, and processing past and/or present events to help them enjoy their lives and achieve their goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first time we meet we will review expectations for therapy and what it would look like to engage in therapy with me. Then the rest of the time we will get to know each other and discuss the specific reasons you are seeking therapy and support.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have spent the last 8 years working within the mental health field directly with individuals experiencing varying mental health symptoms. During that time I have developed a large variety of skills to help individuals learn not only to manage their symptoms in a healthy way and experience relief, but also to help individuals understand the reason for their symptoms and the role they play within their life.

My treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I approach therapy from a very individualized approach, each person is different and therefore therapy should look different to fit each individual's needs. I utilize Person-Centered Therapy to make sure you are getting the tools you will find most beneficial, while also ensuring we are working effectively together. Person-centered Therapy can include the use of other therapy modalities to help get use to the identified goals you have set forth.
Trauma Informed Care
I utilize Trauma Informed Care to ensure my clients are able to engage in therapy and the environment in a safe and comfortable way as we work through the reasons they are seeking treatment. Trauma Informed Care allows me to provide you with a safe environment to process at a rate which feels comfortable for you.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I was trained in DBT in 2020 and have been practicing DBT since then. I utilize DBT to provide DBT-Informed care to my clients, teaching them useful tools for all aspects of their life. DBT can allow clients to improve their communication, improve their emotion regulation, and help them understand their own values and goals more clearly.
Supportive
I utilize supportive therapy through providing a safe environment to work through the most important and pertinent things to you as an individual. Supportive therapy includes utilizing other treatment modalities along the way, but can also just be a place to discuss things and check-in with your own skills use.
