Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I am also a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) to work with people living in California. I have been practicing for 25 years. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, substance use, sexual abuse, low self-worth and many other issues. I work with individuals and couples to help them improve their lives.
I know some people are anxious and nervous starting therapy and i try to make it easy to talk. In our first session we will talk about what has brought you to therapy and how we can get you to a better place.
I am a great listener, supportive, likable, but also blunt. I am good at helping people set goals and work towards them.
We are creatures of habit and keep ourselves in familiar situations, even if they aren’t good for us. To change we need to be open to being uncomfortable and stepping outside of our comfort zone. We all have issues, but helping people focus on the ones they can control instead of the ones they can’t is helpful.
