LPC, 3 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Mount Aloysius College and have been practicing for a little over 3 years. My background stems from being an inpatient counselor working with drug and alcohol clients, as well as mental health. I found a great passion in helping people in those areas and would like to continue to do that on Grow Therapy.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then identify why you are coming to therapy. By doing so, this will help me understand why you are here and then I can create a specific plan for us to work through in future sessions.
I think my greatest assets as a clinician are being able to help you identify the root of the problem that is causing the current issues/challenges, as well as being able to adapt and focus on what you need in each session.
Throughout my experience as a drug and alcohol counselor, I learned that mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and trauma were very common and correlated with substance abuse. Also, with substance use becomes destruction in relationships, where couples counseling was then facilitated. In addition, loss of hope, purpose, and passion became highly prevalent with clients in this field. With that being said, I would love to continue that work and help people with any type of addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and finding their purpose in life. Therapy can be life changing as I have seen it firsthand and I would love to take that step forward with you!

I really appreciate his thoughtful and empowering approach to healing and growth. He helps you focus not just on working through challenges, but on conquering your goals. It’s this unique combination of support and strategy that keeps me coming back to every appointment. Highly recommend!

Definitely a super chill guy. Maintains 100% professional but super easy to talk to.
I was trained to utilize CBT as a drug and alcohol counselor. It became very effective with not only substance use issues, but as well as mental health concerns.
Utilizing MI can become highly effective, especially when the therapeutic alliance is established. MI allows the client to look inward and find the answers to their own questions/challenges when properly using this modality.
I provided couples counseling with multiple clients when I was a drug and alcohol counselor. When I worked inpatient, the client's significant other could not be in person at that time. We worked over the phone or via zoom. Even though it was not in person, I have found couples therapy online can still be very beneficial.
Existential therapy helps clients when a clear path in life cannot be identified and struggling to figure out their purpose.
