I am a licensed professional counselor with experience in many different areas, including substance use issues, grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I studied at Marywood University and earned a Masters in Art Therapy and have worked in different settings for both Drug and Alcohol and Mental Health therapy.
My therapy style is creative with a focus on you and what you want to work on emotionally, no matter what the problem. I do a lot of work with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), which focuses on changing negative thought patterns that affect how a person's acts and feels.
The first session with me will be a get-to-know-you session, where I will ask questions about your current situation, your past, symptoms related to mental health, and other relevant information that will help me understand you better. This is also a chance for you to ask me questions and get to know me so that you can feel comfortable in the therapeutic relationship.
