Parenting Therapists in Lehigh Valley, PA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a License Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I specialize in treating individuals and couples who are struggling to make changes in their lives. When working with couples I create a safe place where each person feels safe and heard. I assist the couple with conflict resolution, infidelity, and rebuilding trust. In my individual session I help my client realize that what they have experienced in life does not define who they are as a person. We will develop a therapeutic relationship that is warm, empathetic and caring.

This will be your space to heal. I am a first-generation - bilingual therapist. I believe we all deserve someone to empower, validate, and actively listen to us, and provide empathy and compassion in an authentic way. Divulging our emotions, pain and being vulnerable to someone else, is not an easy thing to commit to. My goal is to provide a space, where you feel safe to share your thoughts, life experiences, and emotions. My work will be tailored and focused on your needs and goals as a unique individual for your healing journey.

Let's face it- modern life is hard. We'v got every convenience at our fingertips, but we're disconnected and alone. Research shows that more people suffer from depression, anxiety and loneliness than ever before . We often think we can solve these problems on our own, that we can tough it out and make it through life without help -but we aren't meant to handle life's challenges alone- it goes against nature as humans! Pain is an inevitable part of life, but you don't have to suffer. In our work together, we will discover your strengths, explore your patterns, and help you define and create a rich and meaningful life.

Life is stressful and challenging. Do you feel you weren't given the skills to manage these challenges? Therapy can provide support, build emotional awareness and teach strategies to manage these challenges in order to ultimately help you thrive. I have over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, self esteem, interpersonal conflict/unhealthy relationships, and life transitions. As a mom myself, I have an interest in supporting women during their journey of motherhood, including infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, parenting and relationships.

Are you perceiving your sensitivity as a detriment in your life? Have your uniqueness and neurodivergence been used against you? I am here to help you make that shift and remove each layer of fear that has been planted in you and has led to chaos and lack of acceptance. Evidence-based practice modalities along with holistic approaches can help you regulate your nervous system, learn more about your emotions and manage depressive symptoms to find the opportunities to grow in the process.

A State Licensed Professional Counselor with an advanced Masters degree in Counseling Psychology. I have engaged in years of work with individuals, couples, and families that provide me the skills, strengths, and clinical knowledge to work with my patients in the core areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues of communication and trust. We explore the areas that are most important to patients in helping them move from a place of conflict, confusion, and pain to realizing their potential for happiness and well-being. We can help you understand your current challenges, grow from them, and learn to enjoy your life and your relationships.

Are your everyday routines lacking luster? Does it seem like a struggle to find joy and happiness in the life you have created? Through an integrative mind-body connection approach, we will work together to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to navigate and make sense of the patterns and experiences that affect your daily routines. We will attempt to address the root cause of your ailments while supplying you with the tools necessary to calm not only your mind, but your brain, and body too.

My goal as a therapist is to empower others to reach their fullest potential with their healthiest mind and skill-set. Working together, we can build upon your skills to find balance and relief. I am currently seeing clients virtually, as well as seeing clients in my private practice office on a limited basis due to COVID.
