In the past, I have worked as a Counselor and Executive Director for ten years at a Pregnancy Center. For over twenty years I have been working within my Individual and Family Intervention field. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling from Biblical Theological Seminary, now called Missio Seminary. I am also certified in child sexual abuse treatment through Widener University and Family Support Line.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I will be collecting information so that I am better able to understand your needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My approach to therapy is Biblically based with the intention to glorify God while helping others to navigate through life's difficulties. As a registered play therapist, I am able to help my clients (both young and not so young) to confront sensitive issues without fear & stress through interactive play and art. CBT is also combined with other modalities such as Internal Family Services and EMDR.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
