About My Clients
The therapeutic process is a journey that you will be able to control, with support and professional guidance. The focus of the initial therapy session is why the client is seeking therapy at this time. It is important to answer any questions and discuss any expectations the client may have during the initial interaction. In my experience, this helps to begin building a mutual trust and respectful therapeutic relationship.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania with extensive experience working with addiction and mental health disorders in a variety of inpatient as well as outpatient settings. This has exposed me to every aspect of the mental health and substance abuse field. I have treated children through seniors and understand that each client presents differently and should be treated as such. I am a Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional. I use mindfulness techniques in combination with CBT while taking a holistic therapy approach.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Taking the first step to seek therapy can be very overwhelming and intimidating but it is also very brave. I have learned that the therapeutic alliance is a critical component for a successful therapy experience. Providing a nonjudgmental and supportive environment is critical for developing a therapeutic relationship. I strive to validate my clients experience and support them in a way that feels safe.
