Hello and welcome! 

My purpose for this website is to coordinate various professional activities through a central space, which may be relevant to you, depending on your reasons for visiting.* 

Please use the links above to navigate directly to counseling and psychotherapy services, learning & supervision opportunities, and other professional resources/ information. More information about me follows this intro, with a brief summary. 

As a clinical mental health counselor with the Pennsylvania Counseling Co-Operative, I provide individual therapy that is grounded in social consciousness, aligned with relational ethics, and built around the interests and concerns of each participant within a collaborative process.

Humanism is meaningful to my philosophies of clinical mental health counseling, research, supervision, advocacy, and counselor education, as well my personal worldview. 

I believe: 

(1) in the greater potential (i.e., higher power) of our collective humanity for moving power towards goodness and dignity, despite forces that exploit that same potential power for cruelty, 

and 

(2) that social justice is a prerequisite for humanistic counseling to actually be "human(e)" and for the virtues of humanism to matter in a meaningful way.
