As an LPC in the state of PA I have had the opportunity to work with children and adults among a variety of settings over the last 7-8 years, strengthening my skill set to meet your needs. Our first session will be structured toward getting to know one another, while identifying goals and objectives you believe are important for you to target while in therapy. This will later translate into a more specific and individualized treatment plan that will set the tone for future sessions.

I challenge you to explore strength-based strategies to support independent growth and improved self-esteem.

Building a trusting relationship is key, and I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings.

The people I work best with usually have one thing in common: they've tried explaining how they feel and it never quite came out right. Maybe you've been in therapy before and spent the whole hour narrating your week. Maybe you're anxious in a way that's hard to point at. Maybe you're autistic or have ADHD and every space you've been in asked you to be a slightly different person. Maybe something happened and you're still carrying it. You don't have to arrive with the words already sorted out. That's usually where we start.

I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, panic, OCD, and overwhelming stress. College can be an exciting time, but it can also bring a lot of pressure of academics, relationships, uncertainty about the future, and the feeling that you have to have everything figured out. Seeking support isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you. It’s a way to build resilience and learn how to handle the challenges that come with this stage of life.
