Therapists in Lancaster County, PA
Many of us go through life carrying limiting beliefs and behaviors that seem to sabotage our efforts to grow and connect with others. I believe these patterns are not disorders to be cured, but ways our mind and body have adapted to survive. For many, these patterns involve anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction. Our task in therapy involves identifying these ineffective patterns and collaborating to rewrite them, one small action at a time. This leads to growth, healing, and ultimately, self-acceptance.

I specialize in attachment based relationship challenges and complex trauma. In addition to those specialities, I support clients who are challenged with depression, anxiety, general stress, and the emotional aspects related to change. I encourage those I work with to think about all areas of wellness including: social, emotional, mental, & physical well-being. I believe it is necessary first to heal from harm done in the past and have an open mind for the future.

While I have knowledge and training to offer to my clients as they face challenges and difficulties, I also hold tight to the understanding that the client is the only expert on themselves. Clients come to me seeking to overcome past hurts, to learn about and potentially begin the forgiveness process, and to develop a picture of the solutions to their problems so they can develop a map of how to get there. Together we can work toward deepening their understanding of self, on strengthening their ability to express emotions and to communicate well, and on creating more positive life-patterns in relationships, in work, and beyond.

Many of us find ourselves without a space to process our lives, relationships, as well as the weight of a world and systems that are unjust and unsafe.

Let's explore opportunities to build meaning and connection, navigate experiences of stress and complex emotions, and overcome personal and environmental barriers.

My most enjoyable times in therapy are the moments when a person realizes they have it within them to recognize a change to be made, the skills to do it, and feels successful. To experience that life changing moment with them is awe-inspiring. Some call this an "A-ha moment," "light bulb going off," or an "epiphany." Instead, I call this the moment when a person switches the channel of their inner voice from: self-blaming, hyper-critical, guilt driven, and fear-mongering to one that is: self-compassionate, self-forgiving, self-empowering, self-accepting, and value-driven.
