Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania and have been in practice for approximately 8 years now. My passion is family-based therapy, which includes family counseling, couples counseling, co-caregiver alliance/ parenting work, and individual sessions. So many aspects of our daily lives are linked with those around us. Whether you want to do therapy alone or alongside someone else, it can be a wonderful tool to help people not only identify their main stressors, but also create a concrete plan to tackle them.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During an intake session, you will probably hear me say something like... "I know this is not the fun part of therapy but it is important to gather background information to inform your treatment." I often find that when people do start therapy, they often appear very eager to get right into the 'nitty-gritty' details of what's been going on for them. I often try to pace clients and find a balance between getting the necessary background information while also allowing space to get things off their chest. During an intake session we will also review the recommended course of treatment, which includes a session schedule that is developed with both the clinician's and client's schedule in mind.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I find connecting with others a very organic and enjoyable process. I often have clients tell me that our sessions feel like they're talking to a friend but yet they still feel like it's professional, helpful, and worthwhile. They tend to like my approach because they feel very comfortable, very quickly, and therefore are able to begin discussing and processing things quicker than they originally expected. I'm readily available and work hard to ensure that each client feels they're getting the support they need.
