About me
I am a Licensed Psychologist in PA. I have worked in the mental health field since 1986 and have been in private practice since 1992. I have worked with many and varied individuals and families during these years. My early training was in Structural Family Therapy and I continue to seek to understand the role the family system plays, and has played, in each client's current life challenges.
I strive always to meet the client where they are in their current situation so that I can begin to understand their needs and goals in seeking treatment. As I learn more about a client and their situation, we can then determine together what treatment modality would best fit their needs and proceed from there. When clients are not quite sure how to express these needs and concerns, the first goal is then to determine what is causing the current distress and what can be done to resolve it. Again, meeting the client where they are in the moment and walking with them through the resolution of any underlying issues is the primary goal of all treatment.
Therapy can be very difficult at times and some sessions are more difficult than others. I can't guarantee that you will leave each session "feeling good" or even "feeling better" as there are often tough things to address. However, it is important to note that this is also a critical part of the therapy. Even in tougher therapeutic times, I will continue to provide support and encouragement to you.
So, welcome aboard Better Help! I hope I can make your life easier in some way.

I am happy she listens and understands me.

Georgette is patient, polite, approachable, and ultimately a delight to talk to and open up with. She is especially helpful and responsive in times of conflict, and a compassionate listener during a conflict. Very flexible when it comes to schedule adjustments and always proposing new resources, such as books, websites, and recipes to assist.

Georgette is amazing to put it simply. She tells me exactly what I need to hear, sometimes not what I want, but what I NEED. I have healed more in the short time I’ve had with her than I have with any one else. She listens to listen, not to respond. She hears me out and address my concerns and gives me tips on what to do when I have anxiety. Truly couldn’t ask for a better therapist.
