Life Coaching Therapists in North Wales, PA

I love being a counselor and a teacher. I like helping people figure out what they want from their life and how to make the changes and tap into the resources to make that happen. To learn how to create balance in every area. One of my favorite expressions is people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The reason I became a counselor is to help make a difference one person at a time.

My practice is dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families. Entering therapy is a significant decision and making this decision comes from a place of strength. I have an appreciation for this strength, and consider it an important part of the therapy process. Making personal changes can be challenging. The aim of therapy is to help people make changes within their thoughts, feelings, and relationships that lead to being their most authentic self. I consider myself as an invited guest into the client's life and it is an honor to be a part of the process.

I am dedicated to providing services that exceed expectations and are tailored to meet individual needs, wants, and wellness goals. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, ready to make some changes, or seek healing from past trauma or longstanding struggles, I can help. I'll collaborate closely with you to identify the root(s) of current concerns, changes you'd like to see, and how to best approach those changes to come into alignment with the life you truly want. I offer weekday, Saturday and evening appointments to help accommodate busy schedules.

My practice is dedicated to assist individuals, couples, and families by empowering them to overcome adversities. Entering therapy is a step in demonstrating strength and resiliency. I have an appreciation for this strength and consider it an important part of the therapy process. I approach each client with respect on where they are at the time when entering therapy. When personal growth is felt and experienced it can be rewarding and life altering. It is my intention and responsibility to be an active listener, give thoughtful and educational input for growth and healing at the pace and needs of each client.

Are you feeling disconnected, depressed, lost or confused with your life? With demanding relationships, work, school, and other responsibilities, it is rare that we feel we can save any energy for our own mental and emotional needs. In therapy, I foster safe, confidential, and supportive relationships so you may become an insightful observer and active participant in your life. I work within a mindfulness based perspective in which I place an emphasis on the here and now, focusing on what you want to address.

I have worked with persons throughout the lifespan. Most recently, I consulted at skilled nursing homes and assisted care facilities with a focus on illness and end of life challenges. I enjoy working with young adults who are just finding their way in this world and navigating new relationships and responsibilities. I accept clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, phobias, stress, identity development, assertiveness, anger management, and relationship challenges for those who are heterosexual, LGBTQ, caregivers, and parents.

"Working with trauma is as much about remembering how we survived as it is about what is broken." These words were written by Bessel van der Kolk and are words that guide my practice as a therapist. We all face hard stuff in life, and for each person what that looks like differs and cannot be held up to others for comparison. Pain is Pain. The good news, however, is that also means that hope is hope and joy is joy. The hard events we face in our lives are teachers that give each of us an opportunity to face our fears head on and heal to fully embrace who we were always meant to become!

Sometimes when we struggle, we need help finding the strategies to move forward. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with anxiety, worry, loss or sadness. Maybe you are feeling the pressure to be perfect; in your job, as a parent, friend or even when you think about your appearance. What you seek is relief from this constant pressure. Therapy offers you the opportunity to explore where you are, and then take steps, at your own pace, to establish a healthy balance. You don't have to go this alone. In therapy we will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and together, with compassion, help you find the balance you strive to find.

I believe that one of the most important aspects of psychotherapy is establishing trust with your therapist so you can openly and honestly discuss your specific hurdles. My area's of specific expertise are adolescent/adult depression and anxiety as well as working with individuals and couples struggling with infertility. My approach is client focused utilizing a professional network of both traditional and alternative therapies.
