Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Northeast Pennsylvania. I received my master's in clinical psychology from Chestnut Hill College. I have been practicing as a counselor for over ten years. I have worked in the field of mental health and substance abuse for over twenty years.
I have learned from the people in those environments, whether it be a drug and alcohol setting, or a correctional setting.
I have had the privilege of working with adolescents and adults in outpatient and inpatient settings.
