Therapists in Erie, PA

I hold licensure as a Professional Counselor to provide individual and family sessions for children, adolescents, and adults. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered as my primary modalities during treatment. CBT focuses on learning the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors/reactions. Person-Centered provides an encouraging and validating aura to help you reflect on your own strengths and self-worth. These approaches are mixed with humor and light therapeutic challenging to help hold accountability and follow through, which are key to progress. Take that next step and let's get started!

***Taking new clients daytime *** Your story, your pain, and your collection of struggles are unique to you. There is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. We'll spend time understanding exactly what you are experiencing - and why - so when you start making changes that improve your life, they will stick. My job is to give my clients the quickest relief possible which means I provide immediate feedback, tasks to focus on between sessions, and tools to learn coping skills.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. I have nearly twenty-three years of experience as a therapist. My areas of expertise are addictions and couple's counseling. However, over the years I have treated clients who have struggled with anxiety, depression, mood swings, ADD, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, sexual abuse/assault, and eating disorders. I have also worked with a few veterans over the years.

*I am currently at capacity and not taking new clients. Please check back for availability.* What's the one thing we all have in common? We all carry around a bag full of memories, experiences, and stories that impact who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we make our way through life. Carrying all of that around, every hour of every day, can be exhausting. Sometimes the best thing to do is have someone sort through that bag with you so that it can begin to make sense.

Life can be hard at times and trying to figure out how to deal with difficult situations can become overwhelming. During difficult times I believe everyone can benefit from one-on-one support. You have already taken the first step in overcoming these difficult situations by looking for someone to talk to, so congratulations!

I really don't have an ideal client as all individuals are different and have unique strengths and weaknesses that are useful to them in some way.. I tend to take a strength based approach and encourage independent problem solving dialogue. I feel very comfortable working with nearly all ages even younger children so long as their parents are actively engaged with treatment. Depression, anxiety, personal relationships, separation and loss, and disrupted adjustments are all within the scope of my work. Now, with telepsychology there are more opportunities to connect with people.

I help children and adults understand and heal from trauma and anxiety. Trauma can be complex, painful and difficult to navigate alone. It may often feel like things will always be the way they are now. In the counseling process, we will work together to understand trauma, its effects, and what we can do to make changes that work for you and your family. Once we learn about trauma, we then build on your strengths and face the fear together to make the changes you want to make.

Being heard is a universal human need. We all have a story or perspective that impacts our behaviors and decisions. Whether you have trauma in your past, experienced ongoing depression and anxiety, or are feeling confused in a life transition, having a qualified professional genuinely hear your perspective can be empowering! I strongly believe in validating the human experience and treating you with compassion and respect. I have worked with clients from many walks of life and have been honored to be part of their healing progress.

Do you every feel overwhelmed, sad, anxious, or have low self-esteem? Does it affect the relationships around you? I help teens and adults work on strengthening relationships, emotional regulation as well as enhancing social/coping skills. We will work together through this journey of overcoming barriers and empowering yourself in making positive changes. We will use a humanistic approach to therapy that focuses on you as a person and how we can maximize your potential. Together we can build a good therapeutic relationship, identify barriers, and learn new skills/develop a treatment journey that works best for you.

Let’s face it, life in today’s world is difficult enough to navigate without the added feelings of things like anxiety or depression hanging around as well.
