Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Doctorate from Chatham University in Pittsburgh PA and have been practicing for 14 years. It’s my goal to help you identify the barriers that are holding you back from living your best life. Our work together will help you to develop your strengths, coping skills, and confidence in navigating challenges in the healthiest way possible.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Together we can keep taking one step at a time in a pace that feels comfortable for you. It is important to be able to explore together what your needs are and how to meet those needs in a safe and effective way. Individuals need to be in an environment where they feel safe, accepted, and not judged. I welcome the opportunity to help you on your journey.
I specialize in working with people who've experienced trauma, are going through life transitions and are struggling in their relationships with themselves or others. I strive to create a welcoming and safe space, where you can heal, grow and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a powerful therapeutic tool that I utilize in my practice to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting change. By addressing the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, CBT provides clients with the skills and insights needed to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a powerful and versatile therapeutic approach that I use to help clients achieve emotional regulation, improve relationships, and develop effective coping strategies. By integrating DBT into my practice, I aim to empower clients to lead more balanced, fulfilling, and resilient lives.
Psychodynamic
I utilize Psychodynamic Therapy as a core approach to help clients explore and understand the deeper aspects of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Psychodynamic Therapy is rooted in the principles of psychoanalysis, focusing on the unconscious mind, early childhood experiences, and interpersonal relationships. Psychodynamic Therapy is a powerful and insightful therapeutic approach that I use to help clients achieve deep personal growth and emotional healing. By exploring unconscious processes, early experiences, and relationship patterns, clients can gain profound self-awareness and make meaningful changes in their lives.
Faith based therapy
I incorporate Faith-Based Therapy to support clients in integrating their spiritual beliefs into the healing process. Faith-Based Therapy is a holistic approach that recognizes the importance of spirituality and religion in an individual's mental health and well-being. Faith-Based Therapy blends psychological principles with spiritual wisdom. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques while integrating clients’ faith perspectives. This holistic approach ensures that therapy is both scientifically grounded and spiritually meaningful. By honoring clients’ faith traditions and incorporating spiritual practices, clients can find strength, hope, and holistic well-being.
