About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Pennsylvania with over 20 years of clinical experience in the behavioral health field. I've worked in a variety of treatment settings with a wide range of clients. I have extensive experience treating mental health issues, as well as substance use and process addiction (gambling, eating, sex, spending, etc.) issues. I am truly passionate about helping people in need, having decided to become a counselor at the age of 13. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from York College of Pennsylvania with a double major in Psychology and Sociology and double minors in Criminal Justice Corrections and German. I also received a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. My work as a counselor is not just a job, but a true vocation. I am committed to helping each and every one of my clients to live their healthiest life. I look forward to continuing to work to help people to find the peace, joy, and contentment they deserve in their lives. Please note that due to the nature of the Betterhelp.com platform, I am unable to write letters on my client's behalf.
