I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, family dynamic issues (relatives, siblings), self-motivation, self-esteem, & confidence-building. I also have extensive experience working with depression and OCD. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am big on increasing sleep, mindfulness, accepting the NOW and moving forward rather than revisiting the past. We can always explore the past - but we should not continue to live there.
