About

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 45 years of professional work experience. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I know how difficult it is to acknowledge that sometimes in life we need help, and someone who is there to listen to us and offer help and suggestions to address the issues we are struggling with. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families with trauma from either childhood neglect or abuse, or traumatic adult experience and events. I have had considerable experience working with children and youth at risk, parent child conflict, depression , anxiety, and relationship issues. I believe that we can work together as team to address and alleviate the issues that brought you to seek counseling. You have taken the biggest step already by reaching out today and committing to moving forward in your life. I would like to be part of your journey.
