I also have a special interest in the mental health of caregivers of those with children or family members with special needs.
Are you struggling to become who you want to be? Do you feel stuck watching the world move as you stand still? Or are you facing a transitional time? Antoine de Saint-Expery once said "A goal without a plan is only a wish". It is time to become who you're meant to be! Together, let's identify the obstacles and practice the needed skills to get there. I find it incredibly rewarding to help individuals learn about themselves, increase self-esteem, and power through the anxiety and depression to cultivate a life filled with satisfaction and social-emotional maturity.

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.

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.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Johnstown, PA provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Johnstown build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
