Pronouns: He/Him/His

Hello and welcome to everyone reading this! I am grateful to be back at AWC after an investment of time and clinical practice in the healthcare setting. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I have been working in the helping profession since 2014. Throughout these pursuits, I have also become a certified clinician in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and a certified clinician in Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma (ITCT). I am also trained in EMDR and will be continuing to engage in the training and certification process while utilizing the modality in clinical practice.

During my time as a psychotherapist, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals who are seeking therapy as a way to address their happiness, relationships, decision-making, engagements with life tasks and interests, and very importantly, their personal healing. Focusing on how trauma and stress impacts the body and mind, I have found that folks can see desired outcomes for the issues they are seeking to address.

I am grounded and affirmed in culturally responsive and trauma-focused lenses of therapy and theory, and I work with people who not only have experienced trauma and/or stress, but people whom may have been given various diagnostic labels or stigmatized by others while trying to heal. Seeing people heal and being part of that journey is beyond rewarding and creating a safe and supportive environment for that is very important to me. This can allow transformations to occur, and as such, can allow people to process, feel, and regulate through their experiences, thoughts, and feelings over time.

Some things that may be desired by people who see me for therapy are: seeking greater trust in self, increased satisfaction in life, improved performance in academics or relationships, increased assertiveness, management of nightmares or intrusive thoughts, taking things less personally, improved mourning and grief responses, decreased impulsive or risky behaviors, increased emotional awareness, or feeling less irritable when around everyday tasks, family, friends, and loved ones.

I’d encourage you to give this process a chance, if the above resonates with you. We will first talk it out and make a plan together for how to best move forward, whether with me or someone else.
