Hi! I’m a licensed professional counselor based in Huntingdon Valley, PA. Before becoming a therapist, I taught immigrants from over 10 countries. I’ve also taught for a year in Japan, and for 3 months in Ghana, Africa. My approach is non judgmental and compassionate, while helping clients understand the root of the patterns that have caused suffering. I also specialize in helping couples and families learn new communication techniques.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will take the lead - you don’t have to worry. I’ll guide us through what feels like a natural conversation, where we will explore your goals for therapy as well as get a wide sense of where you’ve been and how you got to this place.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that my greatest strengths lie in my ability to help out clients at ease, as well as help them unpack and understand their deeper needs, fears, beliefs and hopes.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I especially enjoy working with couples, as well as with people looking for guidance and support with relationship issues. I am happy to work with people who may be nervous about counseling, feeling unsure what to expect, and who fear feeling judged. I value the opportunity to create a safe space where they will be seen, heard and understood, especially if they haven’t always felt comfortable sharing their feelings.
