Female Therapists in Boiling Springs, PA

I believe that growth occurs at the edge of our comfort zone. When we become complacent and just "settle", we have cut off our opportunity for happiness. Together, we can discuss obstacles, concerns, goals, and progress, whether it be related to work, relationships, trauma, addiction, etc... I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I strongly believe that it is important to meet each client where they are at. When this occurs, I am able to offer an integrative approach, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches to meet your individual needs.

Do you find that your mood is affecting your ability to actually enjoy life? Are you struggling to take time for yourself? Maybe you’re a parent of young children in the “giving” years of life and in desperate need of a break. Maybe you’re in the midst of a life transition and are battling self doubt and a relentless inner critic. Maybe something from your past is holding you back, affecting your trust in yourself and others. Together, in therapy, we can address your stress and overwhelm, process your emotions, challenge your thoughts, and heal from past trauma.

I believe that maintaining and focusing on our mental health should be as normal as attending to our physical health, and just as important. Therapy is a way to work through the challenges of life, understand ourselves more fully, and work towards a place of wellness unique to each person. Therefore, I use multiple evidence-based modalities, coupled with a therapeutic style that is impartial, non-judgmental, and encouraging, specific to each person’s needs. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults of all stages of life. I am passionate about working with women's issues & also enjoy working through spiritual/faith issues.

My intention as a therapist is to provide a safe and comfortable space to support your journey of healing and self-discovery. I believe that the therapeutic relationship works best when it is built on a foundation of trust and authenticity, providing an ideal environment to explore emotions, create strategies to manage life's stressors, and to enhance your overall health and wellbeing. I view each individual through a holistic lens, combining mindfulness-based techniques, a person-centered approach, and believe in the mind-body connection. Yoga can also be added to sessions as a way to process emotions and to address self-care.

Are you overwhelmed with your life? Feeling like life is too much for you to handle?Do you feel helpless and alone with no where to turn? I'm here to help you overcome anxiety and depression using mindfulness based cognitive therapy and focusing on the whole person. Let me show you how to build on your strengths and manage life more successfully by removing the blocks that are preventing you from living the life you were meant to live! I'll show you how to make those shifts in a very private, confidential setting along the Yellow Breeches Creek.

I believe that a good therapist doesn't "fix" you, because no one really needs "fixing." My goal is to create a supportive environment to help you express yourself and learn the skills necessary to handle whatever life might throw your way. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, or are just going through a rough time, there are a variety of strategies we can use to get you back to enjoying life. In my sessions, I like to utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to help you feel more confident in your ability to handle life's stressors. The ultimate goal is for you to feel confident in handling whatever life hands you.

On the outside, you look like you’ve got it all figured out and everyone wonders how you manage to do it all. On the inside, you feel like a jumbled mess and have no idea how you’re going to keep it all going for much longer. You’re so used to taking care of everyone else and putting yourself last, if you’re even on your own list at all. I bet you’re having trouble sleeping and difficulty remembering what you even ate yesterday (did you even eat yesterday?).

You are overwhelmed by everything that is expected of you, even from yourself. You rush from one thing to another to try to get everything done but the list keeps growing. It seems like other people have figured it out and you are alone. You are constantly worrying about work, family, and friends. Everything says to take time for yourself and self-care this or self-care that but how? This isn’t how being an adult was supposed to be. Overall, compared to some other people, your life really isn’t "that bad" so why is it so hard for you to get things done or be happy?

If you've clicked onto this page, you're considering making some important changes in your life. Are you faced with a decision? Are you unhappy with how your life is going? Do you need better ways to manage stress? Do you find yourself engaging in self-defeating thought and behavior? Does your relationship need repair? I've been helping people with these problems and more for over 30 years. During that time I've certainly seen a great deal of misery, confusion, and despair among my clients.

Have you been considering beginning therapy for some time? Do you need to talk to someone about any troubles you are currently experiencing or from the past? Do you sense that you're having a bad day but don't know why? Do you and your partner have relationship issues?

Emotional Wound Clinic. Mindfulness Workshops. Self-Help Book Clubs. If you want to experiment with healthier ways of thinking, feeling and being, I can help. According to Brene Brown, we cannot be more connected to others than we are to ourselves, and I have personally come from a place where I was completely dissociated from my own emotions, even after marriage and kids. With the information I learned on my journey to wholeness, I am able to help my clients explore ways to heal their heartache, and connect with themselves and others to find happiness and fulfillment. No magic wands, no fairy godmothers, just learning & experiments

I strive daily to take a compassionate approach while working with individuals including adolescents over 17 and adults. I have experience collaborating in treatment with individuals with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and trauma and I work with individuals who are 17 years and older. I believe a significant part of the therapeutic process is building a therapeutic relationship with my client. Being able to practice this healthy relationship in therapy can help to improve other relationships outside of therapy.

This work is meaningful to me because I get to walk alongside people breaking free of painful patterns and moving towards feeling comfortable with life and themselves. As a counselor I have extensive experience in working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain and addictions. I utilize mindfulness-based approaches to help clients cultivate mind-body awareness and create emotional well-being. Getting to underlying issues of shame, loss of control and grief changes lives. When therapy works, there's more than just insight; people feel it in their body as well as in their mind.

If I really let people in to see the real me, will they reject me? Is there something “wrong” with me that (relationships, self-discipline, fill in the blank) are so difficult? Why can’t I just get it together like everyone else? While many experience these thoughts at some point in life, many people suffer alone in them. These questions can leave us feeling shame, isolation, anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Many of my clients come to me weary. They long to believe that healthy, fulfilling, and safe relationships can exist. I invite you to a therapy process to be seen, heard, and challenged to heal and grow.
