Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of connection and the importance of safety and stability in relationships. I've seen how challenges in life, especially those stemming from a lack of secure attachments, can significantly impact one's ability to function and thrive. This understanding drives my passion for helping adolescents, couples, and families build trust and safety in their relationships, which I believe is foundational for emotional well-being. What motivates me to continue is the profound impact that therapy can have on people's lives. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Witnessing the transformation that occurs when individuals and families work through their struggles and build healthier relationships is incredibly rewarding. My goal is to help people lead more fulfilling lives, and knowing that I can play a part in their journey toward healing and growth keeps me committed to this work every day.

I believe everyone tries their best, but sometimes life can be challenging. How we connect with safe people and places when we’re young affects how we handle our emotions as we grow up. When we lack stability and security, it can be hard to function well. I am dedicated to helping adolescents, couples, and families find trust and safety in their relationships. My experience includes Marriage and Family Counseling, Individual Counseling, School Counseling, Community Counseling, and Treatment for Opioid Addiction. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I specialize in addressing relational issues in marriages, couples, families, and individuals. My focus is on attachment-based interventions, which help people become safe, secure, and stable in their lives. I use a relational-based, attachment-focused therapy approach, adapting to each individual's unique needs. I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard and understood. My goal is to help people build healthier relationships and lead more fulfilling lives. *Specialties •Mental Health •Psychotherapy *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •PTSD •ADHD •Addiction •Relationship issues •Family counseling •Trauma •Panic attacks •Substance use disorder •Grief and Loss •Counseling •Learning disabilities *Treatment philosophy I believe in support, transparency , and desiring to join with clients where they are in life. *Treatment approach •Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) •Eclectic •Trauma-Focused •Person-Focused •Emotionally Focused •Culturally Sensitive •Attachment based •Family Systems •Support Focused •Relational Focus
