I am a licensed professional counselor and have many years of experience working with teens, adults and elders struggling with inner conflicts, unresolved issues and emotional pain. I offer an inviting space that is free of judgment, where you can work through these issues and conflicts and to enhance your self-exploration. My therapeutic approaches are mindfulness based and are designed to help you gain insight into your life and important relationships. It is my goal to help you apply what you've learned while nurturing change and growth, so that you can experience greater balance and peace in your life.

I am a graduate of Waynesburg University and I have been working in the field of mental health, trauma, and substance abuse services for 20 years. Through self-exploration I found a home in the professional world of counseling. My client approach is grounded in a strong therapeutic alliance and is integrative by eclectic design and is centered on generation awareness. I work closely with clients to create an environment of trust, acceptance, and honesty. I believe wellness is a holistic and inclusive state of being. Through balance, stress reduction, interpersonal relationships, and self-efficacy the road to fulfillment is obtainable. Working through a generational lens, it creates a retrospective awareness, increased current insight into current relational patterns, and the ability to intentionally move forward with increased insight. Over the last 10 years I have worked with professional athletes and their families to create and maintain sustainable current objectives along, transitional adjustments and future planning.

Everyone comes to a point in their life where they find themselves struggling to reach their potential. Whether this struggle includes feelings of depression or anxiety, or it involves a deeper issue, no one has to go through the struggle alone. Sometimes we go through unexpected changes, whether in our professional life, our personal relationships, or even the state of the world. It is times like these where having the right support matters most. I seek to aid individuals in achieving their potential with many of the tools they already have. I also work with people to recognize thought and behavior patterns that tend to get in the way of them being able to thrive. I draw from the cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, solution-focused, and reality approaches to help overcome life's obstacles. Being in therapy does not automatically mean something is wrong with you. It is simply the process of taking a look at your life, seeing what works, and what does not, and making the necessary changes to propel you forward.

Are the relationships in your life not all that you want them to be? Relationships can make life worth living, or they can make your miserable. Whether it is a marriage that isn't going well, a parentchild relationship that never seems to work well, or you just seem to find yourself repeating past mistakes over and over again, sometimes we all need help figuring out how to move forward in a new way. I strongly believe in the power of relationships to help heal us and I enjoy working with people to help them make sense of the relationships in their lives.

I have experience and a passion for working with clients through a faith-based lens, including Christian counseling, healing from spiritual trauma, or deconstruction. I also enjoy working with clients living with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image, self-esteem struggles, relationship or workplace difficulties, and those walking through grief. I have worked in various settings, from helping students better learn when addressing their emotional needs to providing family reunification services to people who have been formerly incarcerated.

If you're feeling "stuck" in some area of your life - perhaps a relationship, your career, or your own personal struggles with anxiety, depression, anger, or jealousy - then you may benefit from a more active, collaborative form of therapy. I am the co-owner of Integrity Psychological Services. We are a dynamic group psychology practice of 17 licensed and experienced practitioners that focuses on active problem resolution - we will not just nod our heads at you while you speak! Instead, we focus on actively providing you with the tools and techniques that help you to achieve your goals. We utilize the following research-based approaches in our practice: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention (EXRP) for the treatment of panic disorders, phobias, and other anxiety, EMDR for the treatment of trauma & loss, and mindfulness techniques and the principles of positive psychology which are based on the "science of happiness."

The most important person in the therapeutic process is the client. Therapy is interactive relationship. This is a group practice with providers who will not simply nod or convey empathy. Together we will look for solutions. We used a solution based approach to assist in exploring the patterns of behaviors, expectations and relationships to form new more adaptive ways to manage the world around you. We are here for you. All the therapist's at this practice understand that your needs are primary. We work hard to set aside our own agendas and be flexible to your needs.
