Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, struggling with anxiety, healing from past experiences, or trying to navigate a difficult life transition? Hi there! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and I'm passionate about helping individuals feel understood, build emotional strength, and create meaningful changes in their lives. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia and have spent the past five years supporting adolescents and adults as they navigate mental health challenges, trauma, and significant life changes.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, passionate about helping people find strength and resilience during life's most challenging moments.
First session
In our initial session, we will prioritize establishing rapport, provide a brief introduction to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and work together to identify treatment goals as well as any problematic or potentially harmful behaviors.
Strengths
Through my experience working with both adolescents and adults, I have cultivated strong therapeutic relationships by consistently demonstrating empathy and maintaining a non-judgmental stance. This approach fosters a safe, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. By reducing stigma and encouraging open expression of emotions, I enhance clients' receptiveness to therapy and their overall willingness to engage in the treatment process.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, overthinking, stress, low self-esteem, or challenges navigating life's transitions. They may feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure how to move forward. They are looking for a safe, supportive space where they can feel heard without judgment, gain a better understanding of themselves, and develop healthier ways to cope. I welcome clients who are ready to explore personal growth, build confidence, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting changes in their lives, one step at a time.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I bring five years of experience utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals in enhancing their ability to manage emotional dysregulation and challenge negative thought patterns. My therapeutic approach focuses on equipping clients with practical tools to build resilience, foster emotional stability, and create meaningful, value-driven lives. In my work with DBT, I guide clients through a structured framework that emphasizes four core skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills empower individuals to better understand and accept difficult emotions, reduce self-injurious or maladaptive behaviors, and navigate interpersonal challenges more effectively. By integrating DBT and CBT principles, I help clients improve communication, replace dysfunctional thinking patterns, increase present-moment awareness to reduce anxiety, establish boundaries and develop healthier coping strategies for managing life stressors. This approach not only supports emotional regulation and personal growth but also enhances overall well-being and relationship satisfaction.
Psychoeducation
I utilize psychoeducation to assist my client in understanding their diagnosis and to address common misconceptions that may contribute to feelings of hopelessness. This approach has proven effective in helping clients gain insight into the connection between their diagnosis and their emotional responses, thereby promoting greater self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist clients in identifying and challenging negative assumptions, self-defeating thought patterns, and catastrophizing tendencies. This approach effectively addresses symptoms related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulties in social interactions.
