About
Hello! I am a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with over 8 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings with adults to assist in a wide range concerns to include overcoming traumas, coping and adjusting to change, dealing with stress and difficulties effectively, finding meaning and purpose in life, developing and maintaining a healthy, positive mindset to minimize depression and anxiety, understanding healthy relationships, and learning to feel whole and complete as you are. I am passionate about promoting self-love and acceptance. I enjoy helping others embrace their qualities to appreciate what makes you your own unique self!
Since no two people are the same, one single approach is not the right fit for every individual. I have an eclectic, client-centered style. I am experienced in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Humanistic approaches with a focus on Trauma-Informed Care. I am flexible with my approach to therapy to meet your needs and welcome you to be open about what you feel is most compatible for you. I am a compassionate person and maintain a nonjudgmental approach. I consider myself to be a spiritual person that is very open-minded, and am always open to exploring topics related to your own spirituality if requested.
Reaching out takes courage, and I commend you for taking that first step! Change can be scary, but I am here to support you and encourage you throughout your process of personal growth. You deserve to live a happy and fulfilling life!
Thank you for considering me as your guide through life's journey.
