Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and am licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Villanova University and my Ph.D. in Human Sexuality from Widener University, and I have been practicing for 14 years. I help clients become the best versions of themselves, working through self-limiting beliefs, increasing self-awareness, and breaking through unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. In addition to being a counselor, I am a faculty member at a graduate counseling program in Florida.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, clients can anticipate a collaborative and confidential space. We'll discuss your goals, concerns, and the therapeutic process. I'll gather relevant information about your background and current challenges, working to establish a trusting relationship. We will explore your expectations for counseling and any immediate issues. Additionally, I'll provide an overview of therapeutic approaches we might employ. This session aims to ensure your comfort, clarify objectives, and set the foundation for our work together. Ultimately, the initial meeting is a pivotal step in tailoring the counseling experience to your unique needs and promoting a supportive environment for your personal journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a counselor lie in my empathetic and non-judgmental approach. I am skilled at creating a safe and supportive space where clients can openly express themselves. Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, I tailor my approach to individual needs. My strong communication skills and ability to actively listen facilitate productive and collaborative sessions. Additionally, my commitment to ongoing learning ensures that I stay informed about the latest developments in counseling to provide the most effective support for my clients.
