Dubbed a melting pot in the mountains, Shenandoah, Pennsylvania was once a safe haven for immigrants from over 20 different countries. The borough was also a coal mining hub and the stomping ground of the Molly Maguires, a 19 th -century Irish secret society whose members used violence and torture to get their way. Eventually, many of the murdering Mollies were tried and convicted of their crimes but the destruction they left behind haunted families for generations.

This is true of many of our pasts, which we struggle to let go of day in and day out. Fortunately, there are qualified, professional therapists in the Shenandoah area that can help you overcome any difficulty or past hurt that is stopping you from meeting your potential. All you have to do is reach out!

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The primary focus of my practice is to help my clients to reach their potentials. I have been privileged to work in the helping profession for the past fifteen years. I believe that the entire process begins by identifying those stumbling blocks in the lives of the individuals that prevented them from achieving their desired goals. I maintain a high level of openness with my clients having realized over the year that what matters most in therapy is the client /therapist relationship. I truly believe that it is the relationship that heals. My practice incorporates the client-centered, non-directive approach, the cognitive behavior approach and the eclectic approach with the understanding that every individual is unique and should be treated as an individual. The use of compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard are the core elements of treatment in my practice. I specialize in psychotherapy with individuals of all ages with various mental health diagnoses and behavioral issues. I have extensive experience working with families and children. Additionally, I run Anger management courses. I look forward to working with you.
