Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) based out of Pennsylvania. I earned my Masters from Drexel University and have been practicing in the field for over 10 years. I collaborate with neurodivergent clients and their families/caregivers to identify and achieve their goals. I hold the belief that clients should take the lead in their therapeutic journey, and my role is to facilitate and support this process by aligning with their strengths and values. I have an eclectic approach and utilize affirming, holistic interventions to support a unique journey of problem-solving, self-discovery and acceptance.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I am very aware that opening up to a new and unfamiliar person can be a challenge within itself! During our first session I will have the opportunity to learn about you, your strengths/challenges, supports/barriers, and the goals you have for yourself. If there is any immediate feedback I can offer, I will share it... but this time is focused on building a therapeutic relationship and coming up with our game plan moving forward. If you have any questions for me during this process, let me know!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My style as a therapist has evolved and matured over the years and the feedback I often get is that I am relatable, with a strength in establishing a positive alliance with my clients. I love utilizing humor and creativity to address topics that can be difficult for many. I deeply care about making the session as comfortable and beneficial for the client as I can. I appreciate feedback from clients and am always open to learning new ideas, theories, perspectives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach in my work, aiming to support children, parents, adults, and families. I love working with clients that are motivated to find more self-satisfaction and acceptance. You might be aware of the challenges you currently struggling with and are open to collaboration to find creative solutions. The folks I work with often enter therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck in some (or many) aspects of their life and are ready to process. Some seasons are not exactly easy and I am here to help! This could include difficulties in relationships, within our roles as a student or part of an organization, transitions into parenthood, or feeling more confident in yourself as whole.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

So often our society communicates to us what we are doing “wrong.” During our sessions, I want to help you identify your strengths and build upon them! Together we will collaborate to identify your goals, process the challenges, and cultivate resilience.

Eclectic

I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years and in that time, I have had the opportunity to train in different therapeutic modalities and theories. My goal is to integrate treatment techniques that is tailored to each individual! I believe a client-centered, holistic approach can be extremely beneficial in reaching your unique goals!
