Hi! I am a Pennsylvania based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) currently accepting new virtual clients. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling and Addiction Studies from Immaculata University in 2015 and have clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My goal is to help individuals in all stages of addiction recovery -- this might mean you are considering 12 step meetings for the first time, just completed inpatient treatment, want to strengthen a current recovery program, or would like to develop a personalized relapse prevention plan.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session I will gather some background information, provide space for you to explore current challenges, and we will discuss goals and a plan for follow up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My therapeutic approach is strength based, individualized, solution focused, and direct.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy helping those with a relapse history understand how relapse is a process, not an event. Together we can explore how self defeating behaviors and core beliefs can lead to disfunction in recovery, and create a plan to address and intervene on this process in a healthy way.
