Hi there! I am looking forward to teaming up with you. I have an extreme fascination of the brain, in at least one of my sessions we will talk of how the brain is contributing to your struggles and how we will rewire it to work better for you. It is amazing how a small rewire can make a big change. Not to simplify of course, but to be used as one of the many tools in my tool box to share. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area for the past 20 years (as a LPC), 6 years prior in various other settings. I received my degree from Gannon University in Counseling Psychology (MS). I work with couples, teens and adults that struggle mostly with Anxiety and Depression.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with introductions, build rapport and establish norms you can expect for upcoming sessions. Definitely making sure that I as a therapist am the right fit for you. We will dive into the reasons you are seeking therapy so that we can start a plan for the direction we will be working towards; if time permits and seems natural I like to provide some suggestions from session 1.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been told that I am easy to talk to, there is no feeling of judgement or criticism. I often hear "I can't believe I am telling you this." I go with the rule that I have not walked in your shoes, but would like to help you walk in them in the direction of feeling mentally healthier. I have a tool box of coping skills and techniques to teach, feeling confident to find at least one (but more) that can be of benefit. Holding my degree for 26 years, I have a plethora of experiences in many realms of therapy, from working in ER's, residential setting, mediation for hostile work environments, school based and a number of years in private practice.
