My outlook on therapy is based on the principle that we as humans are always changing and growing. Throughout life, we all face obstacles or challenges that we must work through in order to reach our optimal self. My goal through therapy is to process current and past experiences in order to grow and identify how they impact the present and future. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have experience in various levels of care including outpatient, in-school, and partial hospitalization. I received my degrees in Developmental & Family Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am currently also pursuing my PhD in counselor education.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I strive to get to know my client in a personal manner that does not involve being robotic with several questions. I used open-ended prompts to help clients explore their experiences, symptoms, and current needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use RCT, Strengths-Based, Person-Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches in my work to shape positive thinking and increase awareness. I strive to create a safe, empowering environment where you can learn and grow. My mission is to facilitate your growth through self-exploration and validation
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Areas of clinical focus include emerging adulthood, phase-of-life stressors, anxiety, depression, postpartum, trauma, LGBTQ, and family relationships. If you are interested in exploring challenges and growing towards your ideal self, please contact me and I would be happy to help you through the process.
