Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I received my Masters Degree from Lock Haven University. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families of all ages. I began my career working with children and families and now I work with all ages. I am a counselor, advocate, coach, and motivator.
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other. I will attempt to get some background information that will be helpful in treatment. Building rapport is an important part of building a therapeutic alliance.
I like to think I'm easy to talk to. I am genuine and I believe that comes out in my interactions with clients. I'm a great coach and motivator.
I'm here for motivated individuals who are prepared to work to meet their goals. With that being said, I open to work with individuals who are unsure about the process or how therapy will help. I mainly use a person centered approach
Strong background in applied behavior analysis. I have a strong background working with families using ecosystemic approach.
Over 20 years of experience using different CBT techniques. CBT can be effective in treating multiple disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Grief is different for everyone. My approach would be working through the stages of grief, but specific approaches would be determined on the individual.
