Your decision to allow me into your life is a privilege. My first goal as your therapist will be to settle any uncertainties that you might have in trusting me to be a safe person to share your challenges, hopes, and desires for your life with. It is my role to be an unbiased, caring, and reliable professional who will support you in your efforts towards moving forward, healing, and reaching your goals.
I am a licensed clinical therapist (LPC) in Pennsylvania and board certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NCC). I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor though the Pennsylvania Certification Board. I have 20+ years of human services experience working with a diversity of populations including young adults, adults, aging seniors, and persons with mental health and addiction co-occurring diagnoses.
I work with clients with a wide range of concerns. My primary expertise is in addiction and mental health. My other areas of counseling competency include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief and loss, career challenges, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and coping with life changes.
My counseling approach will be catered to your specific individual needs and preferences. Some of my most used therapy approaches include: Christian Counseling, Addictions Counseling/Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy, and Trauma Informed Care. I often use Existential therapy which targets the underlying factors that cause internal conflict within.
The thing that I want you to know more than anything else about me is that I am FOR YOU. I am rooting for you to build upon your strengths while you learn to use your weaknesses as steppingstones – leading you to come OUT of your issue(s) and come IN to the NEW YOU - a new way of thinking and a new life!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
