I help people understand that the ability to change exists inside them. I help them to understand the stages of change and how they can use these stages to effective change themselves and their lives.

The most important person in the therapeutic process is the client. Therapy is interactive relationship. This is a group practice with providers who will not simply nod or convey empathy. Together we will look for solutions. We used a solution based approach to assist in exploring the patterns of behaviors, expectations and relationships to form new more adaptive ways to manage the world around you. We are here for you. All the therapist's at this practice understand that your needs are primary. We work hard to set aside our own agendas and be flexible to your needs.

Everyone comes to a point in their life where they find themselves struggling to reach their potential. Whether this struggle includes feelings of depression or anxiety, or it involves a deeper issue, no one has to go through the struggle alone. Sometimes we go through unexpected changes, whether in our professional life, our personal relationships, or even the state of the world. It is times like these where having the right support matters most. I seek to aid individuals in achieving their potential with many of the tools they already have. I also work with people to recognize thought and behavior patterns that tend to get in the way of them being able to thrive. I draw from the cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, solution-focused, and reality approaches to help overcome life's obstacles. Being in therapy does not automatically mean something is wrong with you. It is simply the process of taking a look at your life, seeing what works, and what does not, and making the necessary changes to propel you forward.

I am a graduate of Waynesburg University and I have been working in the field of mental health and substance abuse services for over 13 years. Through self-exploration I found a home in the professional world of counseling. My client approach is grounded in a strong therapeutic alliance and is integrative by eclectic design and is centered on generation awareness. I work closely with clients to create an environment of trust, acceptance, and honesty. I believe wellness is a holistic and inclusive state of being. Through balance, stress reduction, interpersonal relationships, and self-efficacy the road to fulfillment is obtainable. Working through a generational lens, it allows from retrospective awareness, increased insight into current relational patterns, and the ability to intentionally move forward with increased insight.

I am a licensed internationally & board recognized trauma therapist. I specialize in working with angry, oppositional, depressed, anxious, or suicidal youths. My goal is to build rapport with the child and parent to help foster open communication, exploration of challenges, and growth. My approach is to support, educate, and guide as needed. I also offer assistance to: - Parents needing skills (communication, parenting, etc) -Young adultscollege students with a trauma history - Young adults or college students struggling with finding their niche or identity -Young adults or college students experiencing depression or anxiety -Families struggling with at-risk youths (i.e., teens engaging in delinquent behaviors) -Youths being released from residential treatment facilities - Youths with severe mental illness (i.e., bipolar disorder, psychotic symptoms) In therapy I focus not only on validating your experiences (as appropriate), but also exploring challenges of living (i.e., transitions or changes, family difficulties, loss and grief, suicidal thoughts, questioning of faith or spiritual meaning, low self-esteem, culturally related challenges, healing from trauma or abuse, etc) and how they are affecting you. We all face these things, but how we cope with them is the most important part of therapy. My main goal with all of my clients is to hear their individual stories and design a therapeutic approach based on the joint efforts of therapist and client. Each session focuses on building personal insight, spiritual awareness, and concrete tools for coping, adjusting, or changing.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, supportive, and collaborative. My role is to walk alongside you—not to judge or “fix” you, but to help you uncover your strengths, heal old wounds, and create lasting change. I work with people who feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, or painful relationship patterns, and together we build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. I draw from approaches that focus on self-awareness, boundaries, and resilience, while also tailoring each session to your unique needs. You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy—we’ll work together at your pace, with compassion and curiosity guiding the process. My goal is for you to feel more grounded, confident, and free to live a life that truly reflects who you are.
