I am passionate about with working with my clients and listening to what they want to achieve. I strive to create a safe and supportive space for them to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I specialize in helping adolescents, adults and couples navigate challenges, including relationship issues, stress, anxiety, anger management, depression, OCD and depression. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral health (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention, Anger Management and Trauma Focused Therapy.
I am passionate about providing quality care to adolescents and families. Intervention focuses on client defined goals for positive change. I help clients to learn and practice healthy coping skills and the confidence to use these skills both inside and outside of therapy. I specialize in helping parents, teens and young people to navigate the challenges of the transition to adulthood.
I work to create a safe space of security, trust, and comfort, where sensitive personal narratives can be shared and explored. I used strength-based counseling to help teens, couples and families learn and practice resilience. Skills of emotional expression, assertiveness, and confidence are modeled and practiced within and between sessions so clients feel comfortable using these skills in their every day lives.
I also help couples to communicate better and support the healing process. With help, a foundation can be built around a peaceful, open and honest relationship where both people feel heard, recognized and understood.
I also specialize in help clients and families coping with chronic illness. One of the highlights of my career was publishing a curriculum called "REACH-OUT" (Rapport, Empowerment, Advocacy, Connection in Healthcare and Optimal Understanding of Transition to Adulthood. I have run groups in both the hospital and private practice for more than twenty years. I have discovered that no matter what illness people are living with, there are many common life altering changes that need to be recognized and adapted to for optimal health and functioning. The REACH-OUT groups are designed to help participants feel more in control of their bodies and the decisions they make in their lives.
I am multi-passionate therapist practicing in Pennsylvania. In my private practice I specialize in providing therapy to adults and children as well as couples who are faced with the stressors of life and help with building skills and decision making. I am committed to helping others stop suffering in silence and not only learn how to navigate the complexities of your everyday life but find ways to thrive in the experience rather than just deal with it.
I enjoy working with others and helping people who are finding themselves in turmoil or disconnected in their relationships and help them to learn new ways to open up communicate, deepen their connection and revitalize their relationships with others.
I am an avid believer in the importance of living mindfully and I bring my own experience in mindful living into sessions with my clients. I live in the South-Central part of Pennsylvania with my wife and 3 children.
