I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and national certified counselor (NCC) in Pennsylvania with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, specifically specializing in substance use disorder, trauma, cross addiction, eating disorders, assessment and diagnostics, and PTSD. I have extensive experience working with clients with a wide range of needs/diagnoses including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, ASD, first responders, vicarious trauma, BPD, bipolar, schizophrenia, and chronic pain to name a few. In addition to being an LPC and NCC, I am also a certified career counselor with extensive experience and knowledge in writing resumes, cover letters, interview skills, and career enhancement. I have helped countless individuals jump start their careers, go back to school, or find the motivation needed to take the steps needed to achieve their goals. I have experience working with individuals of varying ages (teen to adult), needs (hearing impaired, speech impaired, learning disabilities), a variety of gender and sexual orientations, with extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQA+ community, individuals in non-traditional relationships, various religious and spiritual beliefs and individuals with criminal justice involvement at varying degrees. I also have both personal and professional experience working with veterans and military personnel. I approach every situation and relationship as unique and special, treating everyone I meet with respect and compassion free of judgement. My counseling style is laid back and interactive. I feel it is best to approach things head on and in a straightforward manner. I understand that counseling will never be a "one size fits all" field and I strive to create a judgement free and safe zone. I avoid cookie cutter goals and treatment plans, individualizing treatment, goals, approaches and techniques based on your individual needs. It is important that the treatment plan that we create together works for you, not me. My goal is to empower you and give you the tools necessary to be your own hero, enacting long-term change. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, client-centered, and solution focused therapy through the utilization of a variety of techniques, including but not limited to: art therapy, music therapy, talk and narrative therapy, journaling, role playing, career counseling, and mindfulness. One of the hardest things we will ever have to do is take that first step towards change. Change can be scary, at times leaving us stuck in a negative pattern, but remember just because its familiar doesnt make it positive. We allow ourselves to become comfortable in the uncomfortable. Congratulations on taking that first huge step, and perhaps the most important step, on the road to recovery. I will be there to support your and encourage you every step of the way. You will never have to navigate this alone again. I look forward to working with you!
