Hi! My name is Brent. I work to create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can discuss any concerns and gain more insight into your anxiety, depression, or trauma. We will work together as a team to identify your strengths, develop therapeutic goals, and learn new tools to better your own well-being. I can also work with you on managing any behaviors in the home your child may be struggling with.
As a therapist, I often use a strengths-based, integrative approach. This allows me to offer a wide range of treatment options for my clients, helping them to meet their goals in an evidence-based, creative way. We work together as a team to develop the tools needed to achieve your therapeutic goals, decrease your symptoms, and to succeed in your day-to-day life. We will work best if you are ready to work together as a team to accomplish your goals and to make the changes needed to improve your overall wellness.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and I am a Board-Certified Music Therapist. I have a master's degree in Music Therapy and Counseling and I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and trauma. I also have experience providing family therapy for parents and families who may be struggling with their child's behaviors in the home.
I often utilize CBT to help with reframing anxious and irrational thoughts. The cognitive triangle is focused on throughout treatment.
I work with you to identify areas of change, utilizing change talk to work toward your identified goals.

I am completing my certification in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and can utilize some of those skills in working through past trauma while decreasing trauma-related symptoms.
My treatment will be strengths-based, person-centered, and I will utilize a variety of interventions to help you achieve your goals.
