Our counselors offer career counseling in Wyomissing, PA

I am a nationally board-certified, licensed professional counselor. I've worked in residential settings with adults with severe diagnoses and opened and ran a crisis/diversion program for those struggling with mental health, substance abuse, and housing needs. Most recently, I've been a tenured professor of counseling at a community college. I've embraced working with diverse individuals—LGBTQIA+ clients, racial and ethnic minorities, and older adults—and have supervised student affinity groups, founded a diversity scholarship, and provided clinical supervision to several individuals, all of whom obtained their clinical license. 

I believe the skills you need are inside you, and I work with you to identify those strengths and explore what has been in the way. I have a strong connection to identity development, transitions, and overcoming loss—of self and of loved ones. I've regularly worked with severe depression and anxiety, guiding individuals through their symptoms and day-to-day. 

You matter and your experience matters. While no one may fully understand your unique experiences, feelings, and thoughts, having a space to connect with someone who really wants you to live your best life is vital. If you're ready to take that first courageous step and find a good fit for your journey, I believe you can do this.
