The city of Farrell in Mercer County, Pennsylvania was built in the 1900s along the edge of Shenango River. The city went through a dramatic decline in population decreasing from over fifteen thousand in the 1920s to approximately 4,700 residents today. In an attempt to foster growth, the city offers incentives to companies and business owners and as result is home to some big name industries and corporations.

It can be easy to lose ones sense of self in a city, which may seem like it is lagging behind. Depression and anxiety over financial or relationship woes can have a deep impact on your mental health. Luckily the city of Farrell has a wide range of mental health services and professionals who specialize in various types of mental health issues. Some community counselling centres even provide free online resources to help you get started.

I am licensed in Maine with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy related issues, & parenting issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I came to the world of therapy the long way, following two decades of outdoor leadership, adventure group work, mountain guiding, and experiential education. I found many connections between my work as an outdoor leader and my work as a therapist. I believe the same principle used by leaders to help folks achieve their goals in the backcountry apply to our everyday lives. I feel I can be most helpful to those who accept being challenged and are working towards goals. When working with clients I combine the principles of experiential education with more traditional, psychiatric treatment modalities, such as CBT, narrative therapy, and MI. I believe good therapy should be safe but also effortful and aspiring to bolster personal growth.
