Hello! I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I hold a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MS in Clinical Health and Counseling Psychology from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). In addition, I have obtained post-master's graduate credits in Addictions, Psychopharmacology, Career Counseling, and Child and Adolescent Therapy. Finally, I am an EMDRIA trained EMDR therapist. I began my career in therapy and counseling working with individuals in outpatient settings, residential settings, schools, and home-based settings. I have worked with clients of all ages and developmental levels—including clients with anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues; clients with stress-management concerns, career concerns & planning, and clients working through family-related difficulties. I utilize my strong background and graduate education in cognitive-behavioral therapy and EMDR in order to help clients work through a wide range of concerns such as trauma, anxiety, stress, panic, and depression. I aim to provide an environment where individuals can feel understood, accepted, and confident that common goals will lead to success. Additionally, I am trained in trauma therapy and recovery and help clients address current and more complex past traumas in a caring and understanding setting. I am certified in Dr. Karyl McBride’s five-step recovery model for treating adult children of narcissistic parents.
