Female Therapists in Enola, PA

The work I do is unique to each individual. Your life story is your own and finding a place to feel empowered, validated, challenged, and grown in healthy and supportive ways is waiting for you. By utilizing numerous modalities, approaches, techniques, and skills, I am able to offer you a place to reconnect with or discover your worth and value. I typically see individuals ages 16 and over as well as couples.

I value and appreciate the courage it takes to open up and talk about stress in your life, relationship difficulties, and regrets. It's important to be able to talk to someone who is nonjudgmental. I value the therapeutic relationship and I believe it is important to find a good match between client and therapist.

If you are struggling with anxiety, substance abuse, grief, and loss, or challenges to adjusting to the world around you, you are familiar with feelings of melancholy, inadequacy, and failure. Therapy is a collaborative relationship that is a courageous step in your journey towards a better tomorrow. I have experience working with adolescences, adults, couples, and families utilizing a variety of techniques that are adapted to individual needs. Together we can discover patterns of current behaviors, feelings, and ideas that are keeping you from reaching your goals.

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.

Are you having difficulty managing life’s challenges such as transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, or attention issues? I understand how scary it can be to take the first step towards change and I am honored to work with you through this. You are the expert on your own life and we will work collaboratively to develop effective strategies to better manage your life. I specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with sadness, constant worries, difficulty concentrating, loneliness, relationship difficulties, traumatic experiences, feeling overwhelmed, and/or stress in the family, work, or school environment.

Your relationships are falling apart, you’re anxious all of the time, and your life has become an out-of-control mess. You wonder why relationships have to be so hard and cause you so much pain. People just don’t get it. They don’t get that when you’re hurt, your emotions take over and consume you. You’d literally do anything to not feel that way. In fact, when you have, you ended up feeling even worse and pushing those very same people away. You’re so desperate for people’s approval and terrified that if they ever found out what you’re really like, they wouldn’t want you anymore.

Deciding to reach out for help is admirable and shows tremendous strength. Everyone faces life experiences and thoughts that impact their mental health. I genuinely believe that everyone has strengths and skills to overcome life struggles. It is important to me that I provide my clients with a comfortable and safe environment to explore those strengths and skills. I believe feeling accepted, no matter what you share, can help you avoid holding back out of fear or disapproval, and lead to meaningful changes and growth.

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

If you're taking the time to read this, congratulations! You've already accomplished two goals: You're not happy with how your life is and you're deciding to do something about it. You’ve taken the initial steps. You may have doubts: “How can just talking to someone change my life? I’ll still have the same problems.” The answer? Talking to someone can make all the difference in the world. While you may have the same life circumstances, you’ll be seeing them in a whole new way, with new ways of working through problems. There’s a saying that goes, “Joys shared are joys doubled; sorrows shared are sorrows halved.” It’s true.

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.

Life can get a little overwhelming at times. Whether it's stress at work, problems at home, or you just haven't been feeling like yourself; therapy can help.
