I’m a Pennsylvania‑licensed LPC offering structured holistic telehealth support for individuals navigating life transitions, beginning therapy for the first time, or coping with suicide‑related concerns. I provide steady guidance, practical tools, and a grounding, supportive space to help you build clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of stability as you move through meaningful change with compassion, direction, understanding, and intentional support.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, my goal is to help you feel grounded and oriented. We’ll start by talking about what brought you here and what you’re hoping to understand or change. I’ll ask questions at a comfortable pace to learn about your stressors, strengths, and the transitions or challenges shaping your day‑to‑day life. Together, we’ll identify a few focus areas so you know what we’re working toward, and I’ll explain how therapy can support you—especially if you’re new to the process or navigating suicidal thoughts. You can expect a calm, structured conversation with space to pause, reflect, or take things slowly. I’ll walk you through what future sessions may look like and offer practical tools you can begin using right away. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for; our work starts wherever you are, at a pace that feels manageable and safe.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths include offering a steady, grounding presence and a structured approach that helps clients feel supported as they navigate life transitions, begin therapy for the first time, or work through suicide‑related concerns. I’m skilled at helping you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface—clarifying patterns, identifying stress points, and breaking challenges into manageable steps. I focus on creating a space where you can move at a pace that feels sustainable, with clear goals and practical tools you can use between sessions. My approach blends humanistic values with evidence‑informed strategies, explained in everyday language so you understand what we’re doing and why. Clients often appreciate my ability to bring organization to overwhelming experiences while still honoring their autonomy, strengths, and lived experience.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals navigating significant life changes, feeling unsure where to start, or beginning therapy for the first time. Many are looking for clarity, stability, and a space where their experiences are taken seriously without pressure to “have it all figured out.” I’m especially well‑positioned to support individuals who feel overwhelmed, are moving through grief or identity shifts, or are experiencing suicide‑related thoughts and want a thoughtful, structured place to sort through what’s happening beneath the surface. I work best with clients who value collaboration, appreciate transparent guidance, and want practical tools they can use between sessions. Whether you’re hoping to understand patterns, manage intense emotions, or regain a sense of direction, I offer a grounding therapeutic environment where you can move at a pace that feels sustainable while building awareness, confidence, and steadiness in daily life.
Existential
My existential approach helps clients explore meaning, identity, and the internal shifts that arise during major life transitions. I support you in understanding how your experiences, values, and choices influence your direction. Together, we create space to examine what feels important, clarify what you want to move toward, and build a sense of steadiness and purpose that aligns with your lived experience.
Mind-body approach
With a mind‑body lens, I help you notice how stress, emotion, and physical sensations interact. We use grounding strategies, breath‑based tools, and awareness practices to support regulation and reconnect you with your internal cues. This approach strengthens your ability to understand what your body is communicating and use that information to feel more centered in daily life.
Reality Therapy
Using reality‑based strategies, I help clients explore what they can influence right now and identify choices that support their goals. We look at patterns, needs, and available resources, then work together to build practical steps that move you toward greater stability. This approach emphasizes personal agency, clarity, and intentional action without pressure or judgment.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
With solution‑focused work, we identify what’s already helping you cope and build on those strengths. Instead of dwelling on what isn’t working, we highlight small, achievable steps that bring relief or momentum. This method is collaborative, goal‑oriented, and helps you notice progress, even in difficult periods, while keeping the pace manageable and grounded.
Strength-Based
With a strength‑based approach, we begin by recognizing the skills and resilience that are already part of your story. Together, we identify the skills and internal resources you already use—even when things feel overwhelming—and build on them intentionally. This method supports confidence, self‑understanding, and sustainable growth by honoring what you bring into the therapeutic space.
