I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Slippery Rock University. I believe that developing a meaningful relationship between the client and therapist is crucial for success. I love to empower my clients to work towards their goals. Hearing their success brings me joy. I believe that having a well rounded lifestyle is important to achieving a happy life. Having effective coping skills, getting regular exercise, eating a healthy balanced diet, maintaining positive social supports and feeling a sense of purpose in life are so important for mental health.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will discuss symptoms, background, history of issues and set goals for treatment. I like to get a broad sense of who my clients are and how I can facilitate a safe space for change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have had a variety of experiences from children to older adults. I have worked in a variety of settings from residential to outpatient. I think my empathy to put myself in the client's situation and see things from their perspective as well as see things from a solution focus so that we can navigate the path ro healing together.
