I'm credentialed by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and licensed as a professional counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and California. I'm a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), through the Pennsylvania Certification Board and Florida Certification Board. I work purposefully with those experiencing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use, and trauma. "If you have come across my profile, chances are you may be at a crossroads in life. We've all been in this place at one time or another, and I can help you grow as you navigate through the process. The power lies in the process itself! Change requires a decision, coupled with the willingness to take action. As a seasoned therapist, I understand that counseling is a contact sport, requiring participation and teamwork. Therefore, I implore you to invest in yourself!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
"During the first session, you can expect to open the lines of communication. We'll review your intake form, and hopefully, we can build rapport as I get to learn a little bit about you. But remember, all relationships take time."
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
"My greatest strength is my authenticity. I practice empathy and compassion."
