I grew up in suburban Philadelphia and obtained my graduate degree in Counseling Psychology from Arcadia University with a specialty certificate in Trauma. I have worked in the mental health field for over ten years and am licensed in the state of Pennsylvania (License # PC010428). My work experience has been with many different populations and settings, including home-based care, local crisis centers, community mental health agencies and now, in private practice. As I have advanced my career, I have concentrated my interest in Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors.
In our sessions we will talk about significant history and life experiences, identify areas of dysfunction, and identify strategies proven to improve function and wellness. I provide extensive psychoeducation to clients so they can better understand how their disorder disrupts their life, and teach strategies and skills patients can utilize in their everyday life.
I also recognize that clients are more than their disorder, and oftentimes sessions lead us to gain control over what you sought treatment for, but remain for continued growth. I am able to offer both short term focused treatment for a specific mental health concern, as well as on-going supportive counseling for other identified stressors.
We are only given one life, so let’s make sure it’s great!
