Personal Statement
It is my passion and mission to help individuals improve their quality of life. My strongest priority as a therapist is forming a strong relationship with my clients,as to create an environment where they feel safe and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Many would describe my approach as warm, supportive and direct.
I have experience working with individuals struggling with depressive disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, mood disorders, eating disorders, trauma, life transitions, grief, and family conflict. I also have 14 years of experience working with individuals struggling with addictions.
I am proud to be working with the Cognitive Behavior Institute in Cranberry, PA. This practice uses the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to therapy, as this approach is one of the most evidenced based approaches to making effective and positive change.
