My interest in psychology and my desire to become a therapist started when I witnessed family members and friends struggle with depression and anxiety. In 2005, I graduated with my bachelors of science in psychology and in 2009, I graduated with my masters in clinical counseling psychology. I currently hold a license in professional counseling through the state of Pennsylvania (PC009755).

I truly care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. Since 2008, I have helped a diverse group of clients cope with circumstances that are unique to their lives.

In my therapy sessions, we’ll work to solve current problems and improve positive thinking and behavior. I will help you “re-frame” your reactions and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles. I have a laid back approach to therapy. I do not utilize only one form of therapy; I customize my approach to fit my client and their concerns. I do pull a lot from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients change the thought patterns that are not working for them, but I also take a compassion focused approach. We will work together to silence your inner critic and learn ways to increase self-compassion. I focus mainly on the treatment of mood disorders (depression, anxiety, and bi-polar) and trauma. I am pursuing further education in the treatment of trauma and I am also working towards my certification in addictions counseling.
