About Me
We live life in relationship with others, often focusing on their needs. Sometimes, we lose sight of ourselves, resulting in feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and self-critical. I invite you to take a “time-out” from the chaos of life and focus on YOU. Let’s address the challenges you may be facing at home, work, or school, and within your romantic, friend, and family relationships. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families addressing a range of mental health issues.
Creating a non-judgmental space for clients to feel heard and understood is the foundation of my treatment. I balance practical skill building, utilizing client strengths with addressing the emotional needs of each client. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults to address symptoms of anxiety and depression. I am skilled in several evidence based therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions focused therapy, and family systems therapy. Additionally, I utilize psychoeducation and mindfulness. I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling with a concentration in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling from Messiah College.

Exercise and Mental Health
Your medical provider talks about it, and fitness communities of course tout the success of their specific “life changing” programs. But how helpful IS exercise for you and your mental health?
