Approach:
I utilize a process-oriented approach to counseling which recognizes the individual as a whole. All aspects of the person are considered: behavior, cognitions, beliefs, body sensations, imagining, and dreams. I hold the position that my client is the expert and my role is to be a facilitator to bring about a sense of awareness, improving the individual's contact with oneself and one's environment.

Background:
I attained a Bachelor in Business from Temple University, with emphasis on Accounting and RMI. I later went on to receive a Masters of Arts in Psychology from Phillips Graduate Institute. I have five
 years of critical experience in the Mental Health Profession and have gained practical accounting, budgeting and forecasting experience as Financial Analyst at Electronic Payment Services. Owning and operating retail and manufacturing businesses strengthened this experience.
