Our Staff

Throughout my years of work in both community mental health and private practice, I have had the opportunity to work with people experiencing a multitude of stressors and life circumstances. These life events come with a variety of mood and anxiety issues.  I am trained and experienced to assist clients to journey thru these issues.  I assist my client utilizing a variety of tools, while attending to the unique needs of each client.

I offer over 20-years of experience in the therapy profession.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of MD and post-graduate certificate in Marital & Family Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh.

I utilize a variety of tools, while attending to the unique needs of each client.

I am able to work with ages 6 through adult which includes individuals, couples, and families.  I enjoy working with people and helping them to become more empowered and healthy.  I treat depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, stress management, and other life issues.  Often treatment involves the need for a skilled therapist to work with multiples of issues at the same time. I employ a relaxed conversational style of therapy allowing for a comfortable environment for change and growth to occur.

With over 20-years of experience of a Psychotherapist, my work focuses on treating the whole person in a client-centered approach.   I do not use a cookie-cutter type of treatment for my clients.  I use Cognitive Behavioural Therarpy and several other treatment modalities.  I am also certified in Hypnotherapy.  If requested, hynotherapy can also be used to enhance traditional therapy.

I received by Bachelors of Science at LaRoche College and my MSW from the University of Pittsburgh.

I come to The Counseling Place with over 10-years of experience in the field of mental health.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  I have been employed in psychiatric, corporate, community based, medical, and private practice settings. I embrace several therapeutic modalities in my treatment approach, as I believe people learn and respond in different ways.  Most commonly, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), talk therapy, and person-centered care.  I have experience in the areas of depression, anxiety, crisis intervention, relationship issues, personality concerns, and life transitions.  It is my goal to help you find the best paved path to recovery.

I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication Studies with an emphasis in interpersonal and organizational communication from West Virginia University. I obtained my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Pittsburgh specializing in the area of direct practice.
