About

I am a professional counselor licensed in Pennsylvania with over 7 years of counseling experience working with individuals who struggle with eating disorders, mood disorders, trauma, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, and addictions. My therapy style is warm and accepting. I believe in treating individuals with respect, compassion, and empathy. I use a variety of approaches such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, narrative, eclectic, internal family systems, faith-based, and rational emotive therapies. Each client is unique; therefore, we work together to develop a treatment plan that will meet your specific needs. It takes courage to seek help for a better life and take the first steps towards healing, freedom, and change. I am here to support and empower you on your journey of healing. I look forward to working with you.
