My aim is to first help clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their goals. Then, I aim to provide evidence based interventions to equip them with the tools necessary to help them feel stronger, and empowered to face life's challenges.
It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, sexual abuse, mood and personality disorders, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and encouraging. I provide support as you examine core issues and change underlying patterns of behavior or simply gain perspective concerning a recent issue.
Hello, I have a nearly 10 years experience in a mental health field, working with populations from all different backgrounds and cultures.
I help people build better relationships with God, self and others. I have a Masters Degree in Professional Counseling. I have over 30 years experience in the field. I have been licensed for 12 years. I have worked with ages 4 - 104. My specialty areas are Christian Counseling, relationship counseling, self-esteem, anxiety, mild depression, adjustment to life challenges, grief/loss, marital, pre-marital, communication and parenting. I have been married with children for 37 plus years.
I know how hard it is to learn to talk about difficult things. That made me want to help others learn to do the same. I started by volunteering at rape crisis and domestic violence shelters. When I was at these places I did outreach in the community and ran support groups for both. For a time, I took rape crisis hospital calls to support people who had come in for sexual assault exams. This work that taught me to be comfortable talking about anything, at any time, with anyone. I have worked with all types of individuals from ages 12 and up. My first Masters was an intensive dive into Human Rights. My second Masters was in Counseling so I could work with individuals to help them beyond the crisis moments. My passion is to help people progress towards healing.
About Me
I'm not your typical psychotherapist, and everyone I've had the honor to work with on their life's journey can attest to this. Born, raised and forged in the "Steel City" and sharpened in the "City of Brotherly Love", the term "Alchemist" more accurately describes who I am. I specialize in alchemizing pain into purpose and trauma into triumph. If you're ready to transform your life, I'm your guy!
I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety. depression, trauma, and disconnect in their relationships. I am a trauma focused clinician and work to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience
working in the field of mental health. I am also a Registered Nurse. I have a passion for
assisting people who seek relief from any type of trauma or PTSD, and desire to help those
with any chronic emotional or physical pain, anxiety, depression, difficulties at work or with relationship
stress. I obtained my Master’s degree in Counseling/Community Psychology from Marist College.
I believe every individual has the capacity and courage to learn, grow, and make positive choices for their present and future. Throughout my career, I have worked with people to strengthen mental health, improve academic and professional performance, and build skills for long-term success. I continued to be humbled by the determination people have to tackle challenges and hardships to improve their quality of life.
