I am a board certified, Licensed Professional Counselor ((LPC), in the state of Pennsylvania.
My background is in Community Mental Health. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children for more than 10 years in school, home and outpatient settings, both in person and virtually. I have experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relationship issues and trauma.
My therapeutic approaches are primarily Client Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a Client Centered Therapist, I utilize active listening, compassion, empathy and non-judgement to meet my clients where they are, help them identify their challenges, and develop a plan to help them achieve their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapists help clients explore the connection between their thoughts, feeling and actions.
I generally check messages here a few times per day and respond as quickly as I can. My goal is to respond within 24 hours. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times as I may be tending to other clients, or professional or personal responsibilities.
I thank you for entrusting me with the privilege of helping you to achieve your goals.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Family conflicts, Grief, Anger management, Self esteem, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Domestic violence, Prejudice and discrimination, Sexual assault and abuse, Social anxiety and phobia
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
