Great to meet you!

Offering Tele-therapy to PA clients ONLY. I am a therapist of 30 years, working with children, teens and adults throughout my career. I have a background in drug & alcohol as well mental health counseling. I am experienced in working with family systems, as well as working with adults individually.

My approach to therapy

I use a variety of methods to help clients achieve their goals. My practice is based on the belief that people have strengths which, when accessed, can be very helpful in reaching their objectives. My goal is to guide clients and families in identifying paths they can explore in making the improvements they are seeking.

I understand many of the concerns individuals and families have, and I approach clients from a collaborative standpoint rather than an "I know best" approach.

What you can expect from me

I believe that experiences, no matter how awful they seem, can be opportunities to learn and grow. I was a child with ADHD, and I have been in recovery myself from addiction for the past 35 years. I view these as strengths, not liabilities.
