My Approach to Helping
I earned my Bachelors of Arts in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Gettysburg College. I interned and worked there at an abuse shelter for women and children. I wrote my capstone on the voices of children within abuse shelters and what we can do to provide for more support for them. To continue on my path to becoming a therapist, I earned my Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU). I interned there as a high school Crisis Counselor. I also interned at a hospital, where I provided support to a plethora of patients and conducted Mental Status Exams on dementia patients.
Since graduating from FDU I have been a Program Therapist at Center for Discovery. I provide group, family, and individual therapy to men, women, and adolescents who suffer from eating disorders and other possible co-morbid disorders.
More Info About My Practice
My approach to treatment is to ensure first and foremost that my clients are comfortable and safe within sessions. I like to maintain a strong and faithful therapeutic relationship to provide the utmost care. I conduct my sessions through a Person-Centered lens but utilize other skills and treatment modalities to produce a treatment plan that best suits the individual. I see my clients as capable, intelligent and strong individuals who can gain insight and control over their lives and current situations. I provide a safe, comfortable, empowering, loving, and supportive environment to guide, educate and inform my clients on how to overcome their struggles, feel that empowerment and enjoy life.
I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and boyfriend. In my free time, I like watching movies listening to music, attending concerts, reading, horseback riding and going to the beach.
