About

I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 30 years of experience. The majority of my work has been with young adults, and I have experience with clients as young as 5 to those in their retirement years. Although I have years of experience, I believe that my work has kept my spirit young and I am as passionate about my work as I was when I began my career.
I work most commonly with clients affected by anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, separation and divorce, childhood trauma, life changes, women's issues and the impact of nutrition and lifestyle on mental health and wellness. I have experience working with individuals and couples, both in-person and through teletherapy.
I pull from many therapeutic approaches, including CBT, mindfulness, Gestalt, somatic interventions, person-centered and solution-focused therapies. I incorporate exploration of family of origin in helping to gain insight into current issues, and believe that a genuine relationship between therapist and client is the most effective source of change. I believe in viewing my clients from a strengths perspective - all of our habits and ways of coping, both healthy and unhealthy, have developed in part from our experiences. I can help you decide what behaviors no longer serve you in your life goals and find ways to work with your strengths to build new strategies and skills.
Taking the step to explore therapy is the real first stage of change. I would be honored to work with you in taking the next step.
