Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I received my Masters from Rosemont College and have practiced for 19 years. I'm passionate about working with people who have struggled with substance use as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community. I am well versed in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar and personality disorders.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions so we can get to know each other a bit. We will discuss the reasons and events that led up to you deciding to enroll in therapy and any specific challenges you're having. I will also collect pertinent background information as well. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in addiction treatment for almost 20 years and as a result have worked with people from all walks of life. My empathy and relatability combined with extensive experience (men, women, families, chronically homeless, addiction & co-occurring mental health disorders, child welfare and criminal justice) are my greatest strengths as a therapist.
