Therapists in Cranberry Township, PA

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" ~ Mahatma Gandhi. Congratulations on taking a huge first step! Therapeutic change starts with building a relationship. I provide an inviting, relaxed environment where privacy and security are built upon to develop a foundation of trust and safety, paced to fit your needs. I encourage and challenge my clients to discover their inner strengths, resources, and resilience. We work together to apply your strengths to create unique processes and develop steps toward achieving long-term change and increased adaptability.

Sometimes we feel like our light has been dimmed by our past experiences and ongoing life stressors. Maybe others have noticed that you have been more irritable, distant, or just "different". Whether it be anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or other life circumstances, don’t let that hold you back from building the life you deserve. You’re here because you finally want to take back control of your life and begin to find yourself again. Your struggles do not have to define you and you deserve to be happy.

Seeking help can feel uncomfortable not only to those who have never sought therapy before, but also to those who have had negative experiences with counseling in the past. With over a decade of experience working with those who struggle with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Behavioral Problems, Depression, Parenting, Relationship Issues, Work Issues, etc., my goal is to create a laid back atmosphere where we work together to achieve your goals.

Many of us have been emotionally wounded by family members, friends, loved ones, co-workers, and/or strangers. Psychological suffering can take on many forms, showing up in our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. Sometimes it can be experienced as sadness, depression, worry, anxiety, etc. This form of suffering, while painful, often points to the parts of ourselves that invite healing. And while the challenges of living with such experiences can be immense, they also present opportunities for growth. The truth is that you can find peace of mind, solace in your heart, and live joyfully, regardless of your past.

I work with individuals, couples and families. I practice psychotherapy, which involves a range of treatments that can help with adjustment problems, emotional challenges and mental health issues. My overall intention is that of support, relief and to help one understand their feelings through talking and education resulting in an improved quality of life.

Compassion, understanding and commitment to quality, collaborative and affordable care is what you can expect from your treatment. I utilize successful treatment approaches to help you positively improve your overall state of being. I specialize in compassionately helping you explore the core issues that are causing your symptoms. You will understand how we will work together to create transitional, life-long change where you will feel safe, secure, confident, capable and connected to yourself and others. A brighter future awaits you! "Invest in yourself and others will too." Take the first step - call for an appointment!

Change is possible. Let's work together to help you achieve inner peace and meaning in life. If you are looking to end patterns or sabotaging habits that stop you from living the quality life you deserve, within yourself or in your relationships, I can help. With my caring, objective, and empathic approach, the therapeutic process is a safe place to help you strive toward transformation or healing emotional or relational trauma. We can develop a foundation for improving insight, discovering your inner strengths, learning to live life in accordance to your core values, and learning how to let that guide thinking and behaviors.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and adults (preschool-age 80+). I am fortunate to have helped individuals over the past 20+ years as they strive to overcome life's challenges and access life's joys. While a variety of therapy techniques that I am trained in can be of value, clients and I select the ones that they find to be most helpful to them personally. I primarily see clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, divorce, school/work and family problems, ADHD, Autism, childhood issues, and processing past traumatic or stressful life events.

My goal is to elicit a safe, confidential space for you to feel comfortable to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. Through our collaborative efforts, we can explore new ways of dealing with stressors. My role is to provide you with unconditional support and empathy through your self-growth process. I believe that self-growth is a continuous journey.

Currently Accepting New Clients - In-Person and Telehealth. I invite you to start a process of recovery and healing. I have over 30 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have expertise in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, childhood behavioral issues, family conflicts that are part of adult and/or youth lives, marital/couples issues, and helping clients who are in recovery from addictions. I also have extensive experience with helping military families/veterans. I am very dedicated to my work and am continuously obtaining new certifications in current modes of treatment.

You miss your old, capable self. Your days are now busy with appointments, interrupted by the side effects of your disease or treatment, and flooded with emotions. Life is sometimes difficult, but chronic illness has made your circumstances even more complicated. You're so tired of feeling lost and waiting for life to return to normal. As others dismiss your concerns with well-meaning statements of hope or offers of vague promises of help, your isolation grows. Hopelessness and fear creep in. You know you need support or guidance, but figuring out who or what will be helpful feels overwhelming. Where do you even begin?

Are you looking for a therapist to get you unstuck on your journey through life? Are you hitting roadblocks on your path to your emotional well-being? Do you need help or assistance resolving obstacles at this point in your life? Or do you need to be heard or find your voice?

Most of us could use a little help dealing with life sometimes. If you have noticed that you are struggling to cope with the situations, symptoms, people, and/or challenges in your life as effectively as you would like or are used to, you may be considering therapy. I applaud your courage and welcome you to contact me to determine if I am the Psychologist for you.
