Capital Blue Cross Therapists in Palmyra, PA

With over 30 years of clinical practice, extensive continuing education, and an emphasis on what works rather than on what’s wrong, I tailor my approach to the specific needs of each individual, couple, family, and group for whom I provide service. Using proven methods, I am able to offer, among others, supportive, interactional, brief problem-solving, cognitive-behavioral, including trauma focused cognitive-behavioral, and relational psychotherapies. Common themes among my clients are concerns related to relationship difficulties, bereavement, mood disorders including depression, anxiety, childhood behavioral problems, eating disorders, compulsive and additive behaviors, and difficulties related to specific life circumstances.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with a special focus on Intimate Partner Relationships and Trauma Treatment and Care. I see families and individuals with a wide range of concerns and struggles. You will find me to be warm, personable, and caring. With regard to Intimate Partner Relationships, I look for strengths and resources that are already present while also exploring and mapping out pathways to further increase trust, commitment and relational intimacy. While doing all this, I still attend to relational wounds and breaks in trust.

I enjoy connecting with individuals of all ages with a special interest in the needs of women and children. It is a joy to use reparative work to assist people to use their voice with confidence, form satisfying relationships, and influence others in powerful and positive ways. My experience has included working with women who have experienced sex trafficking and exploitation, who have shown me first-hand the realities of resilience and restoration in the face of complex, layered trauma.

Building on my 20 years of professional work as a graphic designer and artist, I now apply these skills in my counseling work which includes an emphasis on art therapy techniques. Art therapy is grounded in the knowledge base of human development, psychological theory, and counseling techniques: it is not a series of art lessons. Techniques used within art therapy work to improve cognitive and sensory-motor functioning, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, and reduce and resolve conflicts and distress.

My approach to treatment is based in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model. I work to help you identify feelings that have an impact on your behaviors and attitudes. By identifying this string of thoughts, feelings and actions, we can work together to make changes that bring about positive outcomes in your life. At times, making changes can be difficult. Techniques of Motivational Interviewing are useful when struggling to determine what changes would be the most beneficial. I approach every session with a trauma informed attitude so events that leave an emotional imprint can be effectively explored.

Life is a gift, but sometimes we find ourselves feeling trapped in unhealthy behaviors, unexpected and difficult life circumstances, and seemingly impossible situations. These stressful life events make it hard to experience hope which is so important in life. Regret's from our past story can prevent us from living well in the present and lead to fears about the future. Unwanted patterns in negative thinking and behavior do not have to control your life. Difficulties can overshadow all the good in life and distort our ability to move towards growth.
