Balance and Grow Counseling Center

Balance and Grow Counseling  Center I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a certified school counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been a therapist for more than 15 years.

I can honestly say that I love my job and I love the opportunity to meet clients where they are. My theoretical orientation of therapy is solution focused therapy and cognitive behavior therapy. I spend time, looking at your thoughts because we know that negative thoughts can lead to anxiety and depression. Examining those thoughts, developing coping skills can help you be successful. I believe that you have the tools to solve your own problems, with my help. We can start to develop themes around your concerns in order to develop individualized coping skills for you. I work with children, adolescents and adults and tackle a multitude of concerns. From ADHD, anxiety, work/life balance, stress, trauma and many other issues that you bring to me. Personally, I am married and a mom. I completed my Ph.D in 2024 in Counselor Education. I am an adjunct professor at IUP in the psychology department. I love to read, to walk and all things Harry Potter. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on this journey. I have a certified therapy dog, Maisy, who is a mini golden doodle. She offers love, snuggles and cuteness while you are in session. Here is the link to my site which can be used to book a session and to learn more:

Kids are not the only ones that need to be prepared for what to expect over Christmas.

Others may need to be told in advance that your child may not want to hug them, much less give them kisses, to get their presents or treats. The first person they have to reluctantly hug for something in return may be the trigger that makes the rest of the night unbearable. You can ask your child to say please and thank you but that’s it, no one should expect more than that
A child should never be forced to show affection to someone to get a gift. This is sending the wrong message to our children and increasing their anxiety. It may be hard for relatives to understand this but if you make it clear that the rules of your family are that you never force a child to hug or kiss someone, then at least this won't be a surprise on the day and hopefully won't cause offence.

We are so very grateful for each and every person who took a child’s name off the Angel tree and who bought presents for them! 💚❤️

This is what the holidays are about! We were able to provide for 25 students from Leechburg Area School District

It was wonderful to partner with Honeybee & Co. the most generous, caring business. Merry Christmas!🎅🏼🧑🏻‍🎄

Sometimes looking at social media can cause us to compare ourselves with other’s 🤔comparison steals the joy from today😀 do not measure yourselves by what others do🎄there are no rules for the holidays- you don’t have to:
❄️have an elf on the shelf or one that does over the top tricks
❄️buy for every single person you know
❄️have a huge event and fancy dinner
❄️visit with family
❄️bake 🍪 (I ordered mine😀)

The point is do what YOU can do and make it joyful and fun! 🎅🏼🧑🏻‍🎄
