Hello and Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the state of Pennsylvania. For the past 15 years, I have been working with adolescents and adults that have struggled with domestic abuse and have symptoms of trauma such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, mistrust, and hopelessness, by helping them find their purpose and their "WHY". I help those who find it difficult to work through toxic or unhealthy relationships rather it be professionally or personally. I work with clients that experience emotional pain through their past trauma and help them break free from their pain where they regain their spark and power. Working with me, I will help you transform your emotional trauma into your strength. I have successfully helped clients write their stories, which are now books, about their past trauma and they have shared their stories with others so they too could encourage others to share their story and get the help they need, as there is power in sharing with others who are in similar situations. Again, it's about transforming emotional pain into power and strength. My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of your inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. As a mental health therapist, I'm here to empower you to see yourself as a being with a powerful life story. As we embark on your therapeutic journey together, I will always let you take the lead, after all, you are the expert on your own story. I won't always have the answers, but I will make a safe space for you to find them for yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial meeting, we will begin with a concise introduction and then delve into the particular challenges you're facing. This process will enable me to formulate a personalized plan for us to address in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches, including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), person centered therapy, strength based, trauma informed care and mindfulness techniques, all of which will help you focus on changing your life in powerful ways.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is helping you find your "WHY" and your purpose by being empathetic, compassionate and having excellent listening skills. This makes it easy for me to connect with you and help you to articulate your thoughts and feelings and to guide you to becoming a better you for yourself! I will help you figure out your beliefs and to set attainable objectives that are consistent with your values so that you live a life worth living. I will help you discover your passions, so you can live a meaningful, joyful and fulfilled life. My goal is to empower, inspire and uplift you to become a better YOU!
