Licensed Professional Counselor
Hello there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at our Bridgeville clinic with 20+ years of experience working in the mental health and counseling field. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh and earned a Masters degree in Community and Agency Counseling at the California University of Pennsylvania. I utilize a variety of counseling approaches and am skilled in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing which have been proven to be effective treatment styles for anxiety, depression, trauma, drug and alcohol issues, stress management and life transitions. I work with adolescents (12+) and adults.
I believe that clients are at the center of their own treatment and uses session time with clients to create realistic and attainable goals. I spend time empowering clients to see the control they have over their own outcomes, and assisting clients in seeing their true potential to live and love the life that is their own.
My compassion, experience and desire to navigate clients away from negative thoughts and toward strength based decision making has allowed me to become a true support through all of life’s ups and downs. Outside of work, I enjoy going to concerts and music festivals, spending time with my husband, 2 kids and 2 fur kids.
