About Me

I have been practicing counseling for the past 23 years in various capacities, beginning my career as a staff therapist with a community mental health center in Montgomery County. That job prepared me to work with a diverse population with various issues—it was the perfect place to begin to develop my own philosophies and views on counseling and working in a helping profession. 
 
Later, I worked at Penn State University as a full-time counselor specializing in working with disadvantaged low income adults and helping them access higher education. I also became a licensed professional counselor in my time there. I continued to practice with other mental health centers, as my career took me into an administrative role, overseeing business operations and supervising a small staff.

In 2017 I decided it was time to create my own vision: Arbol Professional Counseling. The vision is to help people achieve their greatest versions of themselves by clearing out a lot of the noise and shrubbery. I use cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness strategies that include guided meditation, as well as existential and psychodynamic approaches to aid in self-discovery and heightened insight.
