I also specialize in working with children and families involved with the juvenile justice system.
Many times individuals and couples enter counseling seeking a resolution to long-standing conflicts or emotional stressors. You may be experiencing a sense of powerlessness or hopelessness. Our job, together, is to find alternative, healthy ways to address these concerns. My goal is not to instruct you but to trust in your innate ability to find the solutions that work for you. Counseling is the process by which we find those solutions-- so you regain power and control in your life.

I live in the South-Central part of Pennsylvania with my wife and 3 children.
I am multi-passionate therapist practicing in Pennsylvania.

I am committed to helping others stop suffering in silence and not only learn how to navigate the complexities of your everyday life but find ways to thrive in the experience rather than just deal with it.

Choosing the right counselor can be very difficult. Feeling weighed down, frustrated, and not able to move past difficult memories can make a person feel chained to the past. It is important that your concerns are heard, validated, and that your pain is relieved by healing the wounds. Unlike talk therapy, memories can be resolved without talking about them. EMDR and IFS are two evidenced based ways to permanently heal people who have trauma. This is my specialty. In addition, I am offering EMDR intensive therapy for people who desire to resolve the past pain more quickly and effectively. VCAP covers this for sexual abuse.

I have experience helping children and adults facing numerous emotional and behavioral challenges.
Is something keeping you from being your best? We all have great value and the ability to achieve great things. Sometimes, the burdens of this life, including past trouble, negative thinking/emotions, difficult circumstances, poor choices and lack of support can hold us back from reaching our potential. I believe my role as a counselor is to help others be more aware of their own strengths and abilities, so they can set and achieve positive goals. I believe in welcoming people with unconditional acceptance and support, and helping them work through difficulty to build and execute a plan to become the best version of themselves.

Children can share the perfect song to give a glimpse into their soul or can help you see the sadness they carry with a few waves of a crayon.
Throughout my work I have heard parents reiterate how often they have felt judged. Like they were not a good parent because they were falling short of their own expectations or the expectations of others. These parents have not needed to be fixed but to be heard and listened to. Neither do you. I have heard children tell stories of fear that they aren’t good enough. Unfortunately we live in a world where judgment is common. My parents see their children thrive with our empowerment. Which is why I am passionate about working with children and adolescents and families. This will be a safe place for your family.

We are competent in working with individuals, couples, families, children, and adults.
NOW OFFERING ART THERAPY. Many people have had negative experiences with counseling, making them hesitant to seek help again. We are especially skilled at working with those who are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. Clients have described us as “Therapists for people who don’t like therapy”. We try to understand people on an individual level & adapt our skills to meet their needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, & nonjudgmental atmosphere. Therapy should not be simply "learning coping skills", to deal with negative feelings, it should involve working to root of the problem to facilitate long-lasting change.
