Hello! I'm a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I've been treating clients with a wide array of issues for the past 7 years. I started my career in community mental health working with families, teens and children and eventually moved into private practice work treating individuals and couples via telehealth. My clients benefit from an eclectic approach to therapy, where I utilize the best techniques from DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, ESFT, Gottman, and Person-Centered therapies. My clients have expressed increased confidence in their abilities to manage stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms through these approaches.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, also known as the "intake session," I spend time getting to know my clients and their reasons for seeking out therapy. This is a very laid-back, loose style of interviewing that's used to better understand my clients needs and to openly discuss how therapy can benefit them.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with clients of all ages, I've been able to adapt and adjust treatment as needed to meet each individual's needs. Working with individuals of all populations, in a variety of settings, has allowed me to understand and experience firsthand the challenges and difficulties people face throughout each stage of life. As a provider, the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance to me. Over the years, my clients have expressed feeling very comfortable and at ease in expressing their deepest, inner most thoughts and emotions in a very non-judgmental environment.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals of all ages, as each age bracket has it's own unique issues and challenges! I enjoy working with clients who have the desire and willingness to learn new approaches. Together, we can build a "tool box" of go-to coping strategies.
