About My Clients

I work with Tele-Health Clients that would like to increase their awareness & patterns. Clients should take away a way to "re-write" their personal narrative.

My Background and Approach

My THERAPEUTIC APPROACH utilizes a Narrative perspective while blending Cognitive and Mindfulness models. I use these perspectives to tailor a wellness plan that fits your needs. I emphasize expression and a humanistic approach. BACKGROUND: I received my Masters of Social Work (MSW) from Millersville University and completed my LCSW licensure hours while working at UPMC.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have worked within the human services field since 2007 and have become passionate about normalizing the WANT of Mental Wellness. MANTRA “Sickness consists essentially in wanting what is not good for us." - Erich Fromme
