Hello! I’m a therapist at Olive Branch Therapy Group and a Licensed Associate Counselor. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Shippensburg University and my graduate degree from Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania-Lock Haven. I graduated with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

My Therapy Specialties:

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults. I have a particular interest in working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and life changes.

What drew me to this work: 

I have always wanted to help others. This drive combined with my passion for promoting mental health and reducing the stigma surrounding it made this line of work the perfect fit. In many areas of my life I have been the one others turn to for a listening ear. I really enjoy connecting with others and consider it a privilege to help clients reach their goals.

My style: 

I consider the therapeutic alliance to be one of the most important aspects of therapy and strive to create an environment that is warm, welcoming, safe, and free of judgement. I am caring, empathetic, and challenging. I believe that each client is the expert on their own life and I empower each client by helping them see the strengths they have already

I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as a Mindfulness based approach, however I am flexible to best meet the needs of each client. I recognize that each client is unique and emphasize this by individually tailoring my approach. My goal is to help clients maintain hope.

A Little About Me: 

Iced coffee and crochet are two of my favorite things.

Services I offer: 

In-person individual therapy.
