About me
I'm an experienced licensed counselor who enjoys helping people work through the challenges and obstacles that life has thrown at them.
I believe in focusing on the strengths an individual has and using them as a platform to improve and address their struggles. I offer a warm, inviting, and relaxed therapeutic environment and strongly believe that a positive client/counselor relationship is important to successful treatment. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults with a variety of diagnoses and struggles including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, parenting skills, grief and loss, mood disorders, life changes, anger management, PTSD, LGBTQAI+ concerns, and more.
I currently have availability for virtual appointments only. I utilize interventions from various modalities and believe in treating each client as an individual. I also am experienced at providing letters for HRT and gender affirming surgeries. Additionally, I provide supervision for therapists that are seeking licensure in Pennsylvania.
