I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA. I have been in the field over twenty years. I obtained my MA in Counseling in 2004. For the past seven years I have been working in a jail. I deal with patients with significant mental health diagnosis. I evaluate for suicide ideation, complete intakes and provide crisis intervention. I work with the officers to help understand the patients with mental health. As well as provide as needed counseling to officers that find a completed suicide. Prior to that I worked in a transitional housing program that also served people with significant mental health diagnosis. I have also worked as a mobile therapist, behavioral specialist consultant and was supervisor of a family support program.
Due to the environment I currently work in I mainly utilize a solution-based focus therapy. Besides the patients with severe mental health, there are numerous patients with increased anxiety and depression. It is very focused on appropriate coping skills for the situation. I collaborate regularly with the CRNP and PA to address medication and physical concerns.
I would enjoy the change of meeting with people outside of the jail setting. The therapy I can do there is limited, I would like to be able to expand more and work with a more diverse population of patients/clients.

She has strong listening skills and asks thought provoking questions as well as a strong backbone to call you out if need be. I respect her and would recommend her to anyone struggling with the repercussions of poor decision making.
