I graduated from Syracuse University with BA in Psychology. I then worked for many years in a few different mental health settings and worked with all ages. I moved to Virginia and began working for a CSB for several years providing individual and group therapy. I graduated with a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with Longwood University, completed a residency and then received licensure as a LPC. I am licensed in NY, Utah and VA. I have 1o years experience in the mental health field prior to licensing and have 3 years of experience post licensure.
Over the years, I have experienced many breakthroughs with clients. Sometimes the past plays a role on present choices that can be self sabotaging. It is a pleasure to witness a client recognize and "break that chain."
Clients can expect an atmosphere of unconditional regard, acceptance and support. Clients will understand that they are ultimately in control of their therapy.
The first session typically includes gathering information and it is a time to get to know one another. Some clients know immediately what they wish to focus on and others are not so sure. As our conversation unfolds, the goals will become clearer to you.
It is important to me to assist people when I am able. I consider myself to be a seasoned therapist and that helps me to be more effective within the therapeutic relationship. It is a real pleasure to be told by a client that they are feeling better.
Highlights
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
One of the goals of therapy is to enable a client to carry the knowledge and tools with them in their day to day to allow for sustainable change. Clients will know that they are in control of their therapy. I employ different techniques to meet you where you are and work at your pace. This is your time.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including: Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), & Solution-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
According to clients, I have been told that I am honest, authentic and direct. If you ask, I will offer my view with the understanding that ultimately, you the client, know what will be best for you! I will work with you as a partnership, at your pace and help you to reach your goals.
