About Me
Growing up in the city of Philadelphia I saw a need for mental health services. It was when I became aware of it in my own family that I was then inspired to educate myself in the realm of psychology and mental health. Having learned myself of what others where going through, I grew in the capacity of understanding the human mind as a passion. I also developed seeing an opportunity to help others. I then from an AP Psychology course in high school went forward in education and career to be here today in the capacity I am to serve you.
I’m invested in providing counseling/therapeutic services to help others. I received my Masters in Clinical Counseling from Eastern University. I soon after attained licensure as a professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I’ve worked in various settings from psychiatric hospitals, programs to even working one to one with kids in schools. I assist with a wide range of topics considering myself a generalist. My counseling style is very person-centered and I favor utilizing CBT, which grants me with a wide variety of various techniques to provide in addition to educate and empower people.
I’m passionate about working with you bringing my expertise and experience into play, whether you schedule an individual, couples, family or group session know that you are in capable hands. Whether your looking for weekly appointments or something as needed schedule at your convenience.
