Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I received my Master's in Counseling and Human Services from Lehigh University and have been practicing for three years. As a person-centered therapist, I approach every client with empathy, respect, and non-judgmental support. My top priority is to provide a safe and affirming space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, ensuring you feel heard and understood.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll begin with brief introductions to help me get to know you and understand the specific challenges you're facing. We will then work collaboratively to create a tailored treatment plan, outlining the goals you would like to achieve during your time in therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my person-centered approach, which allows me to build strong, empathetic relationships with my clients. I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. With a background in intensive outpatient therapy, I am equipped with a wide variety of effective tools to help clients better manage their thoughts and emotions. Together, we can reclaim power and control in your life!

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge distorted thought patterns and behaviors. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, I guide clients in developing healthier thinking patterns and coping mechanisms. This evidence-based approach is particularly effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders, enabling clients to achieve their therapeutic goals and improve their overall well-being.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into my practice to assist clients in regulating emotions, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and developing distress tolerance skills. By incorporating mindfulness techniques and promoting acceptance and change, DBT is especially beneficial for clients dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional dysregulation, and self-harm behaviors. Through structured sessions and skills training, I support clients in building a life worth living and achieving emotional stability.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I employ Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood and accepted. This client-led approach emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness, allowing clients to explore their thoughts and feelings freely. By fostering a strong therapeutic relationship, I help clients tap into their innate potential for growth and self-discovery, empowering them to find their own solutions and achieve personal fulfillment. This modality is particularly effective for individuals seeking to enhance self-esteem, improve self-awareness, and resolve personal conflicts
