Existential Therapists in East Petersburg, PA

I view therapy as an opportunity to build a meaningful life. This can be through either discovering new meaning or recognizing meaning that's been there all along. In building therapeutic relationships, I aspire to form genuine, authentic connections with patients. My specialities include working with those experiencing existential anxiety or dread, those with complicated grief, trauma survivors, those with persistent suicidal ideation, and those who use drugs and aren't interested in abstinence.

Relationships can be rich and rewarding as well as disappointing and painful. Perhaps you have repetitive arguments that go nowhere, or have reached an impasse, or your relationship has become distant and lacks intimacy. You may be experiencing a relationship crisis involving infidelity or other forms of betrayal. Creating a satisfying relationship that can stand the test of time requires skill, attention, and effort. I help couples develop the necessary relational skills to communicate and problem-solve more effectively, understand each other better, manage reactivity, navigate difficult challenges, and find a path forward.

In my own life, I know of peace and progress, as well as periods of anxiety. I know the joys and disappointments of love in family life. I believe in a healthy lifestyle but know what it’s like to have trouble getting off the couch. I have a wandering mind, yet I benefit from meditating daily. Being a therapist is good for me because every hour with a client is an hour where I am in the present moment. I can be with someone and get out of my own head. Feeling empathy is healing to me, even as it is very difficult, at times, to feel the raw pain of another. It is a constant reminder to me that we are not alone in the world.

I view therapy as an opportunity that clients create for self-exploration, healing, growth, and relationship enhancement. I strongly believe that at the heart of every successful therapeutic outcome is a trusting and supportive client-therapist relationship, and it is in that context that my clients are able to explore historical and developmental issues, and their overall sense of self.

I provide psychotherapy services to children, teens, young adults, families and couples, and over the 30 years of being in outpatient and private practice settings, I can say I love treating the lifespan of all ages. I promote growth and potential. My clinical focus has been primarily in treating anxiety, depression, grief and complicated grief. I use the creative arts to promote the healing process. We all walk different landscapes at different times in our lives and I will help you in walking that landscape you find yourself in. Please feel free to contact me for a phone consult for any questions you might have.

I believe the relationship developed in therapy is a powerful one and strive to create a safe space for everyone who walks through my door, fostering respect for every individual.

Through an insight-oriented holistic collaborative approach, I focus on supporting and empowering clients through their therapeutic process. I have a background in helping clients experiencing concerns related to trauma, life transitions, impacts of shame, depression and anxiety, sexuality, and navigating the coming out and gender affirmation processes.
