Domestic Abuse Therapists in Bethlehem, PA

I have provided my clients with, caring, confidential counseling for over 40 years. My work with clients combines Client Centered,Cognitive, Behavioral, and Family Systems approaches to custom fit therapy to the unique needs of each one of my clients. I assist those I work with in discovering the inner strengths that can empower them to make the positive changes necessary to live healthier, happier lives.

As a Counseling Psychologist I am searching to find health or “ego strength“ in a person. People are capable of having internal positive and negative aspects in play at all times. Working from a psychodynamic model to see the whole clinical picture, I believe insight is crucial but it doesn’t guarantee behavior change. To that end I work from a cognitive and behavioral model to build strength.

After over 20 years of experience working with clients, I have come to view myself as my clients' guide through the emotional landscape of their lives.

Together we form a partnership to determine the direction required for a client's healing, healthy emotional growth, and successful life functioning.

From an early age I have been intrigued by the human mind and how it works. This interest has been enhanced through my study of psychology and human behavior. Psychotherapy remains a complex although understandable endeavor. That doesn't mean it's easy-for either client or therapist. If you, as the client is committed to doing the work in therapy, the process will promote tremendous change and growth over time-even though most of us yearn for a quick, painless cure!

Therapy is a journey you and I take together. In times of pain and discomfort, we have the potential to grow into a stronger version of ourselves. My goal as your therapist will be to create a safe space where we can explore ways to decrease distress, so that you can live life feeling lighter and unburdened.
