Hello and Welcome! Here is a bit about me and how I can join you on your counseling journey: I have a master’s degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (2012), am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and a National Certified Counselor. My experience lies in working with individuals with substance use issues, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, stress management, identity issues, and LGBTQ concerns. My approach to counseling is humanistic with a foundation in Existential Therapy. I view the client as their own expert and seek to build a collaborative counseling relationship that will aid in the process of connecting to a meaningful life. I believe that this can be accomplished by exploring personal experience, how we exist in the world, and the meaning we find/create in our lives. It is my belief that the healing is in the lessons that we can discover through the counseling process. It is my goal to be present with the client and to offer a nonjudgmental, understanding atmosphere. In my practice I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches to explore client needs. Some of these approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy and Mindfulness. Through the use of these approaches the client is able to learn to cope more effectively with the conditions of the human experience with a sense of meaning and purpose. Our lives are like a tapestry, with experiences being woven together to create an image. We need the contrast of the light and dark to depict our story. We may not be able to see the beauty or understand the meaning until we take a step back, with another set of eyes, and see our story from a place of compassion. It is then that we can appreciate, and even love, our fate.

I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world by helping others when I was 12 years old. When one of my close friends lost her mother after battling cancer at the age of 15, I thought: “I wish I had the right words to comfort her.” This prompted me to choose to become a counselor. I have learned that what is most important when someone is hurting is to show up. To really be there for them. To hear their story. To listen and to understand what they are going through. I have learned that being vulnerable makes us strong and connects us to each other. In sessions, I will share when I can relate to an issue or situation and help my clients delve deeper into where their feelings, thoughts or behaviors are coming from to get to the root of the problems. I have worked with clients on identifying patterns in their life and finding ways to break negative cycles by changing their thoughts and perspectives so that changed emotions and behaviors will take place. So that healing can happen. I believe healing is possible. I believe we can unlock our abilities and potential by understanding ourselves, our past and our motives and breaking down the barriers of fear, pain and lies that others told us and we told ourselves for years. Change is possible. Therapy can be scary and takes hard work and courage. But with support and commitment we can change our lives for the better and have the peace and love our hearts ache for in life. We need each other. We don’t have to do life alone. I specialize in working with trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues and grief and loss. I work with clients to empower and inspire them to believe in themselves, love themselves and to shine their light in this world. We are all valuable and we all deserve to have a healthy, happy and good quality of life. We all need and deserve to be loved. Helping others brings me joy. I am happy to walk alongside you to help you reach your goals and shine your light brightly.
