Expressive Arts Therapists in Horsham, PA

Art Therapy sessions give your child a space to TRULY be themselves. Whether your child needs a space to process difficult life situations, freedom to be uniquely themselves, or wildly creative, I will offer them a safe and open-minded space to do so. We can learn ways to manage stress, fear, and other challenging emotions that are appropriate for their developmental level. They will have access to a wide variety of art materials and the ability to integrate drumming, play, and other expressive modalities depending on their (and parent supported) therapeutic goals.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 20+ years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in individual and group settings. My specialties include trauma issues, PTSD, anxiety, grief and loss. Trauma is not specific to violence but results from experiences such as death of family members/friends, chronic and acute illness, animal attacks, natural disasters, dealing with suicide, separation from parents, divorce, domestic violence and war. I work with active duty military, veterans and first responders and their families, engaging EMDR, Accelerated resolution therapy (ART) and Brain Spotting.

Are you having difficulty coping with the stressors of life? Are you stuck in a cycle you want to break? Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Are you struggling with relationships or a major life transition? I can help. I know it takes a great deal of courage to start therapy and how necessary it is to find the right fit. My aim is to create a welcoming environment where you feel safe, trusting and open to be yourself. My approach is warm, attentive, caring and nonjudgmental. I am licensed in PA and TN, offering in-person options for PA residents only and telehealth only for TN residents.

Therapy is a partnership of trust; a safe place to give voice, transform experience and practice new ways of being. What is dark and daunting to do alone becomes possible with guidance and presence. Positive self-care and higher self-trust are key to feeling calmer and energized to make decisions and act in alignment with our authentic self. I support clients to gain insight into self-defeating thoughts and patterns, and learn new tools to cope with hardship with renewed confidence and balance. Clients with intense feelings, burnout and a harsh inner critic learn to relate to themselves and others with more compassion and ease.

We have the capacity to express ourselves beyond just talking about our experiences and feelings. It is in our innate nature to access other ways of processing that utilizes art as a language. Cambridge Dictionary defines "art"- a noun synonymous with expression, as: "the making of objects, images, music, etc. that are beautiful or that express feelings". Still Emerging Expressive Arts Therapy offers an unconventional approach to therapeutic work, utilizing various forms of expression, including: visual art, movement, writing and sound. No skill is necessary, just a deep longing and desire to express yourself free of judgment.

I am also an experienced Keynote Speaker.

My focus of interest is to become a therapeutic container to support the exploration of the mind-body connection within children and teens. I believe that the body carries valuable information about ourselves and our minds are actively trying to interpret it. I specialize in children who seek to improve their body awareness which provides coping skills for self-regulation, positive self-talk and overall physical/mental wellness. I have experience working with children with autism, adopted families, neurodivergent movers and people simply want a better connection with their bodies

Now offering virtual and in person therapy. As one of a handful of psychologists worldwide with a doctorate in Somatic (body-oriented) Psychology, I am able to work with the cognitive, emotional, somatic, spiritual, and energetic aspects of a person. I am an ideal therapist for people that have tried traditional therapy and feel that "something was missing".

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex addiction therapist as well as Level 3 EMDR practitioner. I have been been practicing for over 25 years. I have specialized in infidelity, chronic infidelity, betrayal trauma and sexual addiction treatment since 1996 with a particular interest in working with partners. I develop partners programs utilizing the trauma model which views the partner as a victim of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My private practice office is Blue Bell, Pennsylvania where I conduct groups, individual, couples and family therapy for sexual compulsion, partners and their families.

Momentum, motion, stepping forward. Here you are. I applaud you for taking a step in finding a therapist as a supportive partner on your journey towards continued health and wellbeing. My approach centers us, the therapeutic relationship, as the essential catalyst for transformation. If you are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, grief, or invested in learning more about who you are, we will develop goals together through a collaborative and relational process. Our work will identify your strengths, amplify them, and engage in creative experiences to support you in finding momentum towards greater psychological freedom.

I developed a 'whole brain' creative arts therapy to help clients find the words and images that can express their thoughts and emotions. This enables clients to 'see' how their negative behaviors originally developed as a way to cope with high levels of interpersonal stress. The BrainsmART process empowers clients with strategies that organize their emotions as they discharge past traumas from their body and mind. Once emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-'view' the memories and beliefs and re-route their self-destructive behaviors. The process works creatively to redirect addictive urges into self-empowering action. Call me at 267.261.9987

Welcome, fellow human. I'm so glad you're here. Taking this first step towards healing is a big deal, and you're not alone in this journey. No matter what trauma you are carrying, what grief you are bearing or what relationship challenges you are navigating, you are not broken. You may be feeling disconnected from your authentic self and inner life force. You might feel lonely, flat or exhausted and long to feel whole again. You might identity as intuitive, highly sensitive and/or creative.
