I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Pennsylvania, who attained my master's degree from Marywood University. I have over 12 years of experience as a clinician and believe in the value of developing the therapeutic relationship. My experience spans across various age groups from children to the geriatric populations. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma. I believe in providing a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, our focus will be on getting to know you better and understanding your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. We'll explore what brings you to therapy and discuss your concerns. This initial session is an opportunity for us to build rapport and trust while gathering important information to tailor treatment to your specific needs. By the end of the session, we'll work together to outline a plan for future sessions to develop a treatment plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strengths lie in my commitment to building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. I strive to be both supportive and gently challenging, guiding clients towards their goals with empathy and understanding. I provide a safe space for clients to explore and process their thoughts and feelings, whether they bring tears or laughter. I approach therapy with humility, recognizing that I am not the expert; rather I am here to walk alongside my clients on their journey to healing and self-discovery.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working young adults aged 18 and older who are navigating the transition into adulthood. My approach is tailored to support individuals in facing life's challenges whether they're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or adjusting to major life transitions. I'm dedicated to helping clients develop the skills they may need to thrive in their journey towards mental wellness and personal growth.
