Welcome! I am the owner of JMW Counseling LLC. I graduated from Keystone College in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and completed my Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling in 2017 from the University of Scranton. I obtained my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Capella University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner.

Our practice specializes in Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Career Counseling, Eating Disorders, Disability, and Advocacy. I have over 8 years of experience in the field. My prior experience includes working as a manager in a mental health group home, a case manager for children and adolescents, and working as a counselor for co-occurring populations.

We enjoy working with clients to build a therapeutic relationship that allows them to understand and process their struggles and concerns, as well as set goals, and develop healthy coping skills.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Shippensburg University in 2015, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Scranton in 2018, and my License in Professional Counseling in 2020. Within my eight years of experience, I have worked within many different specialties including therapeutic staff support, outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric services, marriage and family therapy, sex offender treatment, and group therapy.

I have an eclectic approach in which I offer a combination of person-centered therapy, strengths-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy. In 2021 I was trained in EMDR, and I am currently trained in Level 1 Gottman Therapy. I am working towards Level 2 and will continue training within the Gottman Institute. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders and work with individuals age 12 and older. I feel as though therapy is a place in which an individual should be allowed to discuss fears, hopes, dreams, and everything in between without judgement and with the utmost level of unconditional positive regard.

With a person centered approach, my goal is to assist individuals in reaching their fullest potential by highlighting their strengths and helping them work through their areas of growth and healing.
