Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Marywood University and have been practicing for 17 years. I have been licensed since 2013. I help adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-confidence, self-compassion, anger management and gender dysphoria. I am passionate serving the LGBTQ population. I have a certification in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to have a thorough assessment of how they are functioning in all life areas and their environment, as we are all impacted by the people and surroundings we live in. Discussion of strengths and self-care will then be explored which are realistic to each patient.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm well versed in media, fandoms and seek understanding of client's interests to build rapport and to use analogies that will help to convey ideas shared.

Trauma-Focused CBT
National certified in TF-CBT. I help addressing trauma reminders, addressing use of coping skills and developing a trauma narrative through a gradual exposure approach to minimize symptoms and discomfort.
