I have worked with youth and their families in a variety of environments for over 25 years. I have taught individuals and groups in school settings; I have advocated and found resources for persons in broken systems, and I have counseled children and parents in their homes.  Currently, I am providing outpatient therapy in an office setting. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).  LCSW's can provide counseling to individuals and groups and must follow a code of ethics that is monitored by the Pennsylvania State Board.  Additionally, I am recognized as a Board Certified Diplomate by the American Board of Clinical Social Workers.

What is Therapy?

If you are thinking about coming to therapy, you may wonder what it is like. You may feel nervous about the first session. Prior to our session, I will invite you to create an account with my scheduling website.  The secure portal will house forms and information about my office.  You may bring any questions you have about the forms to our first session. During our first session, I will answer any questions you have, and we will discuss what brings you to therapy. Sometimes a person wants to become better at an interpersonal skill such as communicating. Sometimes a person needs to grieve a loss or heal an old wound. Regardless of what has brought you to therapy, my goal is to assist you in recognizing your strengths and skills and to facilitate opportunities to learn new skills. Developing new skills may include the work of discovering patterns that have caused you unhappiness or pain.

You may feel some relief after the first session having let out some of what is on your mind.  However, most clients share that it is not until the second session that the overwhelming feelings that brought them to therapy feel less overwhelming.  Matter of fact, many tell me that after the second session they feel less stressed and no longer feel nervous about coming to therapy. If you have further questions about what therapy is like, do not hesitate to call or email me.
