Somatic Therapists in Paoli, PA

During these challenging times, there is so much hope in new approaches that integrate mind-body science to improve emotional health and wellbeing. We have the capacity to create new realities when we understand the nature of our own patterns of thought and behavior. Two of the most important steps we can take towards improved emotional health are learning how to regulate our nervous system, and implementing specific strategies to change negative patterns of thinking. We have the profound capability to do this.

An old proverb reminds us, "If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together." Exploring counseling is a courageous choice. I work with adults to address anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Together we ease communication, build confidence, and heal old wounds. With over 20 years of licensed counseling experience, I offer highly confidential in-person and telehealth sessions for individuals pulling from evidence-based methods in the context of an authentic personal connection. My approach emphasizes safety, personal autonomy, and a sense of belonging. Early morning and daytime hours available

As the owner of Life Guidance Associates I love seeing my patients get better! I firmly believe a "good fit" between therapist and patient is key to success! I Integrate evidence based strategies.

It takes some time to fully resolve years of interpersonal relationship problems, previous trauma, unhealthy coping skills, feelings of emptiness, helplessness, powerlessness, anxiety, depression etc. but with patience and persistence it can be done!

In therapy you are my co-worker where you bring what you know about living your life. We bring your family members to help support your therapy when we see that as helpful to you. We also set up support for you through your community of human and non-human life.
