Hello. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Master's degree at Liberty University. I have been in the counseling field for over 15 years. I support all ages with anxiety, depression, trauma, and family dysfunctions. I am thankful and grateful to have obtained an evidence-based set of skills that I can use to support men, women, teenage, children and families.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The intake process is all about getting to know you and your needs. I am seeking to obtain knowledge and understanding of your concerns, your background history, your family history, present stressors, any medical conditions and most importantly what solutions you are seeking. Together we will devise an on-going treatment plan to your specific needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a clinician having the ability to be relatable, listen to understand, show emotional intelligence, having a solution focused mindset, and possessing the capability to devise a course of action are second nature to me.
