Female Therapists in Harrisburg, PA

I believe that everyone experiences some hardships in life and they have the potential to overcome their barriers and even achieve breakthroughs. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where people can share their pain, feel understood, heard, and empowered, as well as find the right way to get through the difficult times in their lives. I think a trusting and consistent relationship is very important in healing, so I respect the uniqueness and differences of each individual and I use therapy interventions based on individual's needs.

Change can be difficult. At times, not changing can be harder. Deciding to explore therapy is a wonderful first step. I can help you set and accomplish goals to determine how to move from that difficult place, to where you want to be.

My clinical experience includes over 25 years in the field working in a variety of settings including inpatient and outpatient substance abuse, outpatient mental health , and working with children in foster care. I have an eclectic approach with a emphasis on cognitive therapy. I have an advanced certification in addictions and extensive work with trauma including EMDR.

Therapy can be scary, but so is remaining exactly the same. If you are looking to reach your goals, improve your relationships, or just have an overall better quality of life, I want to help. My goal is to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment where you can work at your own pace to achieve what you want out of therapy and out of life.

My style is using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and discussing current stressors, identifying triggers and core beliefs that cause distortions, looking at what you can and cannot change, using Distress Tolerance and a Wise Mind as well as setting boundaries and using assertive communication. I also support clients who choose to use their faith as a coping tool and incorporate prayer and seeking guidance from a higher power if that is important to them. I assist clients in identifying resources in the community and other support systems to help them reach their goals.

When managing the day to day struggles, it may be hard to identify when something is wrong. At times, it can be even harder to ask for help. The step to reach out to a therapist is tough, so recognize your strength in this moment. Collaboratively, we can navigate the hurdles of your past, the difficulties of today, the worries impacting your future, and locate a community to support your overall well-being.

When we are no longer able to change a situation .. we are challenged to change ourselves. - Viktor E. Frankl

I'm real, down to earth, approachable, and I use humor in our sessions. I don't think therapy should be stale, cold, or sterile. You’ll see that I practice with a nonjudgmental and transformation in mind while sprinkling a lot of compassion all around. I may have gone through lengthy and specific training/education to be in the role I am but that doesn’t make me any better than you or the “expert” of your life. You’re the expert of your life and I have the skill set to help guide you to make meaningful changes in your life. You’ll leave our sessions with practical skills to help you manage the difficult issues you are facing.

Trauma tends to be considered a buzz word. If you have experienced a traumatic event. You know that there is nothing trendy about what you experience. There is a want to escape the memory and constant reminders of the past. The need to move forward and progress in life. However, there is lingering guilt of what has occurred and how it has continued to make an impact. Being able to identify your triggers, cope with them, and replace the negative thoughts about the experience tends to be the common goal. To feel that your past is not holding you back.

In therapy, my goal is to meet the client where they are by individualizing treatment based on the needs of the client. No matter what your struggle is, we will work towards increasing your optimism, challenge unhelpful thoughts and improve overall well-being. I have a holistic approach believing that the mind, body and soul are connected.

What would it feel like to be unconditionally supported, the way you support others? What would change if you had someone that walked alongside you, offering skills, safety, and a healthy dose of humor along the way? If you’re curious about the answers to these questions, I invite you to schedule a consultation to see if we might be a good fit - especially if you are a caregiver yourself. I specialize in "supporting the supporters". Whether you are a parent, caring for a family member, or otherwise in a caregiving role - I understand the deep exhaustion that can come from all you give to others.
