As a gay man who has had unique cultural and identity experiences of my own, I understand the importance of validating and exploring one's experiences with personal context in mind.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 2 years of experience providing counseling to adults navigating identity, emotional processing, and life transitions. I value openness, collaboration, and validation in the therapeutic relationship and work best with clients interested in self-exploration and understanding their internal experiences in a supportive, affirming space.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology from Temple University. My work is grounded in a person-centered, gender-affirming, sex-positive, and culturally informed framework. I draw from emotion-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and internal family systems.
Seeking support can feel difficult, but it can also be deeply rewarding. I strive to create a gentle, collaborative environment where you feel heard and respected. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, supporting your ability to reconnect with yourself and take an active role in your healing.

My go-to approach for helping people in Christian counseling is to help them to understand the spiritual meaning of the challenges that they are facing --- that is, why Christ would have given them their current challenges. Of course, sometimes God's will is completely beyond our understanding, but in many cases, I have found it possible to discern how an individual may be able to derive spiritual benefit from the hardships that they are facing. I find that this perspective can be advantageous because it gives hope and a positive perspective to situations that had previously been experienced as unmitigated disappointments or tragedies.
I teach the following tools in Christian counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in Christian counseling when they are able to report that they are feeling more hopeful and open to their faith.
Clients can supplement their time in Christian counseling with having a private conversation with Christ and also by developing a deeper connection to their faith community.
To prepare for their first Christian counseling session, a client can pray to God for help and guidance.
Christian counseling in Wyomissing is a form of faith-based counseling that utilizes psychological and spiritual techniques to guide and support. Often, Christian counselors often incorporate prayer and scripture-reading into treatment to help practicing Christians work through their challenges.
Christian counseling works by focusing on themes of hope and healing through one’s faith. At Thriveworks, your Christian counselor will discuss Christian values and relate them to your unique struggles. You can expect to discuss the following with them:
Christian counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Christian counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on what challenges the client might be working through, the severity of those challenges, as well as other needs or preferences.
Faith is a very important component of life and an overwhelming majority of people identify with a particular faith. We understand that you may want or need to talk about spiritual and religious issues in your life. We are here to listen. We understand that your beliefs could create both great joy, and even great turmoil. We are here to help you make sense of it all.
We also understand that you may want someone who shares your same beliefs. It’s also essential to trust your counselor. Sometimes that means connecting with them in terms of their belief system. Many times, it means you share the same worldview and values and this can be important when working with a counselor whom you want to trust. It can also help in treatment. If you think you could benefit from Christian counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Reading, PA.
Christian counseling is about addressing your life issues in relation to your faith. Christian counseling is also when a counselor integrates biblical truths and insights into clinical practice to help minister to hurting people. This is in addition to using the traditional psychological theories of intervention of this world. Christian counselors believe that the word of God was inspired by the Holy Spirit and is a trustworthy source of guidance and direction. They believe that the bible can be a resource used for teaching and correcting and can be invaluable source of inspiration and instruction that brings powerful healing. It can be an anchor in an ever ending ocean of change.
Spirituality and religion are often, unfortunately, a taboo topic that people are afraid to talk about. However, this is unfortunate because this subject is often an “untapped resource” for healing. Research has shown spirituality and religion to have numerous health benefits such as giving hope, increasing coping skills, as well increasing emotional and physical health, and boosting family relationships. It is also a protective factor for adolescence in decreasing delinquency, substance use, and sexual activity. It can help with increasing self-regulations skills and moral reasoning. It can even impact educational and behavioral success at school.
There is power in believing in something greater than yourself and time and time again, research has shown that spirituality and religion have sociological, psychological, and biological benefits. The field of neuroscience is even finding that spirituality and religion can change your brain. However, unfortunately, religion can also be a negative factor as well. It can be a source of guilt, shame, and doubt as well as source of oppression, hate, and terror. All of which may be a reason to talk with a trusted counselor.
We can help you tap into this untapped resource. We can help by giving you an opportunity to talk about and understand your beliefs and how your beliefs shape who you are and impact your thoughts, feelings, actions, and decisions that you make in life. We can help you get connected with your spiritual or religious community for support, use rituals such as prayer, scripture reading, and/or mindfulness to increase your faith and unlock power in your life, as well as help you to use the power of forgiveness.
At Thriveworks Reading-Wyomissing, we understand that faith plays a vital role in the healing of emotional, physical, and behavioral problems and pain. We want to empower you to overcome trials and tribulations in your life. Sometimes integrating your faith into treatment is the best course of action. Counselors understand that there are biological, psychological, and social factors that are at play in your life. We also understand that there are spiritual ones as well and this is a more holistic approach to care.
Call a Thriveworks-Reading-Wyomissing counselor and we will find the right counselor for you! We offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurances, and provide many additional benefits. Plus, we believe that anyone can benefit from counseling and coaching no matter what religion, age, gender, race, ethnicity or socioeconomic class you may be! Reach out today. Let’s start thriving.
