Trauma Focused Therapists in Shippensburg, PA
I am a resident clinician who has worked in community mental health for more than 10 years in environments as varied as hospice care, juvenile group homes, sexual assault crisis support, and justice-involved individuals. I was raised in a working-class home in northern California and became involved in politics, environmental activism, and community organizing at a young age. These experiences complement my formal education in behavioral science and social work, focusing on clinical therapeutic applications with clients identifying with LGBTQ+, kink, ethical non-monogamy, and ‘geek’ culture.

It's hard to know what to write for these kinds of things. I'm being asked to write about my ideal client, which makes sense in theory, but I have a lot of ideal clients. When someone comes in to see me, they are my focus- I want to listen and get involved in your world. My counseling style is authentic and genuine- my primary belief is that the counseling experience is successful because of relational connection. I do not use CBT or any structured approach, and that is because I strongly believe that there is not one perfect way to do therapy with anyone.

It takes courage to seek help and be willing to talk with a therapist. I believe therapy should be a lively experience, one where the client and counselor have a connection and understanding, allowing clients to grow and achieve their goals. I embrace an eclectic style of psychotherapy, using numerous theories, humor, and creative art techniques. My philosophy encompasses giving individuals strategies and skills for improving their relationships; coping with current life challenges; as well as working through past traumas.

Feeling stuck? Life can be hard sometimes.

As an EMDR trained therapist, I provide EMDR therapy to all ages to address stuck memories and help to reorganize past thoughts, feelings and memories that are related to a traumatic event that can oftentimes keep us hooked or stuck from moving forward in work & relationships, preventing us living our best lives. You are worth it and you ARE capable of healing!

Are you having difficulty making decisions, expressing your emotions, or struggling to improve your personal relationship(s)? Working toward change can be challenging. I view the therapeutic alliance as a collaborative and empowering process best accomplished when the client feels safe to explore and challenge current mal-adaptive cognitive and behavioral patterns. This is accomplished through a variety of therapeutic techniques grounded in Cognitive Behavioral, Reality, and Rogerian dispositions. Evenings preferred.

It's been my experience that people usually seek therapy when they have tried everything they know to improve their life and it's just not working. Clients are often quite desperate when they enter therapy. I believe my job as a therapist is to give people new options for what to do to make things better. I try to help with kindness and humor, drawing on a wealth of knowledge, information, and experience to help my clients achieve their goals, whatever they may be. I am continually awed by the amazing ability of the human spirit to grow, heal, and develop.
