"If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." - Dolly Parton

 

Hi there!  My name is Kelly and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is here to help you do just that - pave a new road for yourself by overcoming obstacles and working toward personal growth.  In therapy, I work to create a safe and non-judgmental space to guide you toward positive change.  Each session is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a deep belief in the resilience of the human spirit.  Our therapeutic relationship will be collaborative, as I work to meet your unique needs and focus on your strengths to empower you on your journey to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

 

I graduated from Penn State University in 2003 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and from Villanova University in 2006 with a Master's Degree in Counseling and Human Relations.  I earned my licensure in the state of Pennsylvania in July of 2008 and I have been in good standing with the licensing board ever since.  I have extensive experience in the behavioral health and counseling field, including working on inpatient psychiatric units (adolescent and adult), facilitating therapy groups for an adolescent partial hospitalization program, being trained in and conducting Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with adolescents and adults, supervising and engaging in drug and alcohol counseling with young adults in an extended care program, working in an outpatient private practice with adolescents, adults, and families, and most recently counseling students at a local high school as a school based outpatient therapist.  

 

With a background in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I am equipped with a diverse set of skills to guide clients toward positive change.  Everyone is always welcome in my counseling space; however, much of my experience thus far focuses on adolescent and young adult populations and their families, women and women's issues, dual diagnosis populations, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, stress management concerns, relationship struggles, and those who suffer from extreme and intense emotions and behaviors. 

 

I consider it an honor to be a counselor and I look forward to getting to know you as my client.  I can't wait to support you as you pave this new road for yourself!
