I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor that collaborates with individuals to identify and help them overcome personal obstacles. I have over 8 years of experience treating children, adolescents, and adults with diverse backgrounds and range of concerns. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Duquesne University.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your therapeutic journey will be unique. Each person is different, meaning each experience will be different. I try to use four phases as a guide but Phases will not always occur in order. This process will happen at a speed and order that best fits your needs. Phase 1 - Orientation/ Rapport Building Phase 2- Goal Exploration Phase 3- Working Phase/Making Progress Phase 4 - Resolution
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I favor an Eclectic therapeutic approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations & techniques with the understanding that each individual has a unique history.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is being versatile, flexible, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I AM NOT an expert on your life. You Are! Help me help you. As a result, I use different approaches to help me use the most effective methods available to address the needs of each individual. My goal is to empower my clients and help them to develop, achieve, and sustain a healthy lifestyle of wellness.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am open to working with anyone that is open & willing to work with me. Keep in mind not everyone will be a good fit. If I am not a good fit for you , please don’t give up on your journey !
