I am an LCSW in the state of PA and an LICSW in the state of MA. I have been working as a behavioral health therapist for over 19 years. I work with individuals ages 18 and up. I have helped people with a wide range of problems, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, gender identity issues, trauma, and abuse. I also have a strong medical background. I have worked with people who have chronic medical conditions, helping them to live the best quality of life possible. In addition, I have helped those who are considering bariatric surgery, as well as those who have had the surgery and are now having difficulty adjusting to the physical and emotional changes that occur after surgery. My counseling style is warm and interactive. My approach combines cognitive behavioral and solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog to meet your unique and specific needs. It has been an honor and a privilege to assist people through some of the most difficult times of their lives. I enjoy watching people grow and become empowered to make their own life choices and decisions. If you are ready to make some positive changes in your life, I am here to help you through that journey! Website URL:
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me to create a tailored plan that we can use to work through in follow up sessions.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to develop trusting therapeutic relationships with my clients. If a client does not trust their therapist, then treatment will not be successful. I care about my clients, and I want to see them succeed. This is what has kept me in this field for so long!
I have a great deal of experience in working with mood and anxiety related disorders. These disorders can be disabling, and I love helping people get their lives back on track.
I use an individualized, holistic approach to therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different treatment modalities. I believe that there is no single approach that can treat each client in all situations. My counseling techniques are tailored to an individual's needs and personal circumstances.
