Welcome! I like to think counseling is a wonderful journey to help explore yourself and develop helpful coping skills when facing difficulty in life. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 8 years of experience in the field. I have a Master of Arts degree in counseling from Waynesburg University in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.

I have worked with many different individuals, including those who struggle with depression, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. I think of counseling as a process of working together to develop an insightful mind set into who you are and how to make meaning from your experiences. My counseling style involves a high level of active listening upon my part and an overall collaborative effort to help you meet your specific goals and needs. I tend to practice from a person-centered, humanistic perspective. I also have specific training in dialectical behavior therapy, which is an incredibly helpful combination of developing skills in handling highly stressful situations in a healthy way, as well as improve upon communication skills and regulating emotions. I also work with individuals using EMDR therapy as a modality to help resolve unprocessed traumatic experiences. I believe everyone's story and experiences create strengths that can be helpful in feeling better. It takes a lot of strength and courage to start the process of counseling. Something you might want to know about me is that I've been in the client's seat in the counseling relationship and understand just how much strength and courage it takes to talk with a counselor.

If you are here, it’s probably because you are at a breaking point. Tired of feeling down? Tired of feeling exhausted? Maybe you feel alone or ignored? No matter what you are dealing with, it is my honor to walk beside you. My approach to counseling is one of empathy and understanding. I want to help you develop deeper insight into your thoughts and emotions and how they impact your behavior. I will not simply give advice. I will, instead, help you to see yourself from a different perspective. I use an eclectic blend of psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. My goal is to help you not only recognize thought patterns but also to be aware of the framework from which these patterns have emerged. You are in control of this process and my hope is that through this process you will begin to find your voice, find hope and see change in your life.

Nothing is inherently wrong with you. Your diagnosis (if any) is a temporary experience; it does not define you. You don’t NEED me for long, I’m just a guide. But, if something feels off; if your head is clouded; if your career, relationships, or health are stressful; if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired; if you can’t comb through your options; if you feel stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed; if you can’t find relief… I’m here for as long as you need. But the power is in YOU. I’ll help you become so self-aware that you wholeheartedly trust your intuition enough to offer yourself the answers: no doubt, fear, or guilt. Processing confusing or challenging events requires you to step back: when you pause and breathe, you can make choices from balance, with clarity. I will not make decisions for you, or impose advice; I’ll offer tools you need to mindfully operate, so you can make ALL choices (big and small) with confidence. I’ll bring you back to your baseline of JOY. We like to reach for comforts outside of ourselves when in an unbalanced mental, emotional, or physical state. But you have everything you need to feel better NOW. I will show you just that, PLUS build up your confidence, mindfulness, and self-awareness so that you feel secure and satisfied in all areas of your life. This is the yogic path, and it works.
