New to Grow
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology from Chestnut Hill College, and my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Temple University. I have experience in the behavioral health field working in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric rehabilitation, inpatient addictions withdrawal management and rehabilitation, and hospice care.
Our first session will be a time when we can meet each other to determine if I am someone you would feel comfortable working with. We complete an intake assessment where I am asking questions about the history of the issues bringing you to therapy as well as how these issues are affecting your life. I encourage you to only share what you feel comfortable with in our first meeting.
I am an intuitive and active listener who finds deep fulfillment in helping others. My capacity for empathy has been lifelong and has led me on the counseling path. I treat my clients with care but full knowledge that it is their journey and I am only the guide. I believe that promoting self-advocacy alongside self-care is monumental in therapy.
I work with clients on improving their quality of life through boundary setting, advocating for needs and identifying what is feeling missing from their lives. As a partner to a person with chronic illness, I appreciate having the opportunity to support other caregivers as they navigate caring for their loved ones and keeping their own needs in mind. I enjoy working with individuals who experience chronic illness and pain issues to improve their wellbeing.
Eclectic
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused techniques, ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client centered care, mindfulness and trauma informed care to best assist my clients in reaching their goals.
