Providing addiction and mental health services to individuals, couples, and families.
My experience as a therapist includes treating those with substance abuse and/or mental health disorders in short and long-term residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and general outpatient counseling. Although familiar with many different therapeutic approaches, I often incorporate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into most of my practice. These therapies are most effective for those seeking treatment for mood (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder) and personality disorders. My specialties include conflict resolution, effective communication, and emotional regulation. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a therapeutic intervention that is helpful in processing painful memories or traumas that are often repressed.
I am currently licensed in the state of Pennsylvania as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and hold a certification as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). I am a Nationally Certified Counselor and also am certified to provide supervision to those interested in pursuing licensure.
