I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & anger management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
My approach to therapy is client-centered and integrative. I primarily use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence, empowering them to make positive changes at their own pace. I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach clients essential skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
I aim to create a supportive and collaborative environment where clients can develop the tools they need to manage challenges and achieve their personal goals by increasing self-awareness, practical coping skills, empowerment to change, emotional support, and personal growth.
