Therapists in Pennsylvania

One of the best things about coming to therapy is the amount of courage it took for you to get here. You know what you want out of life and you know when you are not getting it. There is nothing I dislike more than to see human suffering. I have gone through my own and was determined to not let it ruin my life. Sometimes all it takes is for you to feel heard, understood, and feel validated. Therapy is a collaboration between client and therapist and together we will focus on your strengths and help you understand your worthiness was never in question. Other times you may require more skills and techniques to learn in order to overcome your concerns and issues. My primary focus is anxiety, depression, self esteem, phobias, fears, women's issues, OCD symptoms, and finding meaning to life and answer questions like, why am I here? I also volunteered at a Hospice and did my internship there and have knowledge in grief and bereavement. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor and received my Bachelor of Arts through Ashford University and Masters in Science in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University. I have over 7 years experience working with people from 4 through 89 years of age. These people have taught me so much and I am blessed to do the work I do. I am very much a believer in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I know the way we think has a direct impact on the way we feel. I also utilize a Person Centered approach, meaning I follow my client's lead and the direction they wish to take. The great thing is, is that there are so many different sets of skills and interventions to use, you will find the ones that work best for you. It all depends on each individual's specific needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of the Social Work program at the California University of Pennsylvania. With over 10 years of direct clinical and mental health experience, I have worked with a diverse population of individuals with issues and diagnosis including: substance abuse disorders, PTSD, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, ODD, and Anxiety. I utilize a variety of orientations and therapeutic styles to meet each client’s individual needs while working with clients from a strength-based, positive, and affirming perspective. My successes include assisting clients in learning the skills necessary to cope with depression, anxiety, autism, relationship issues/family concerns, sexual trauma, unresolved emotional issues, stress-management, ADHD, grief and loss, self-esteem/self-empowerment issues, and more. I utilize a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy while also incorporating elements of the Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. These advanced methods promote healing and desired change in a unique, gentle, and respectful manner. I believe every individual has a story that needs to be told and brings a passion to encouraging others in overcoming obstacles in life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on pragmatic and personalized psychotherapy, I can provide individual treatment to those in need while focusing on the strengths of the individual as the main means of meeting any goals.

I am a Dually Licensed Mental Health Therapist with a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. I have been seeing clients with a wide range of concerns since 1996. I use a trauma informed and solutions focused style of therapy meaning that I take into account the whole person and their life experiences, not just their symptoms, and work toward solutions that can bring relief quickly while also attempting to get at the root of the concerns. I have extensive training and experience in working with anxiety and narcissistic abuse. In addition, some of the issues that I have helped individuals cope with include stress, depression and mood related concerns, childhood trauma including emotional/verbal abuse, postpartum issues, parenting concerns, relationship issues, family of origin issues, and life transitions. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness based therapy and somatic therapy depending on what the best fit is for each particular individual. I also utilize education to further your understanding of why you may be suffering and assign homework to do in between session to accelerate change. My goals are for you to become equipped with several tools that you can use to manage your symptoms as they arise, reduce their frequency and severity and come to a better understanding of what ails you - ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life. Whatever your personal goals are, we will work diligently together toward them,
