Female Therapists in Southampton, PA

My ideal client is you – you who are seeking therapy in order to work on or change something or you who are feeling misunderstood or disconnected with others or the world around you. This may be due to trauma, anxiety, or depression or maybe something that you have a different word for – or don’t know the word for it. I can help. We can create goals together to work on as a team in order to make the changes you want.

I view each child, teen, young adult, and family as unique. That uniqueness is why I draw from different therapy modalities to support emotional well-being. Anxiety and depression often stem from complicated interpersonal relationships, lack of self-confidence, and feeling unable to control events in our lives. Our joint effort can help you attain the freedom to make positive choices in your life. I bring clinical experience offered in a genuine, nonjudgmental, confidential atmosphere. Drawing from cognitive behavior approaches, insight therapy, and mindfulness practice, my goal is to provide tools to help you in improving your state of mind.

Are you feeling tired, overwhelmed, angry, or confused? Is there a change in your appetite? Are you having trouble sleeping? Talking with an experienced therapist will help you sort out and clarify issue(s)for change and a more satisfying life. I have over 25 years of experience helping individuals deal with depression and anxiety related to relationships, transitions in life, health, and loss of a loved one or a pet. I also assist people deal with issues related to aging.

I have spent my entire career working with children and their families. I give parents strategies to help them move their children through daily routines. I let parents know what tasks are realistic for their children's age. My style is straightforward in answering parents' concerns. I give concrete strategies that take into account each family's needs and values. Ideas presented are based on the latest scientific research in child development. The strategies I recommend have worked for hundreds of families and for my own two children. I help parents know when to step in and when to step back to raise resilient children.

I am committed to working with individuals, couples, and families. My area of specialty is relationship issues. Life is complicated and taking care of yourself can be challenging. Deciding to enter therapy is a meaningful step in addressing these challenges. It is a privilege to participate in your decision. I look forward to listening to your needs, assisting you in identifying your strengths, and collaborating with you, while providing practical feedback. Having a “good fit” between the client and therapist plays a critical role in laying the groundwork for addressing your unique struggles and needs.

The majority of my clients are people who have struggled to find relief from traditional medicine (and traditional approaches to addressing complex ailments/struggles). I am grateful that these individuals find relief here. Many of my patients have been able to resolve complex challenges in just a few months of biweekly sessions. Areas of specialized care & success include, but are not limited to: trauma, chronic pain, nerve damage, complex medical conditions, grief, spiritual development, struggles with weight, stomach/GI issues, insomnia, anxiety, depression, medication intolerance, and some areas of addiction.

I believe in a collaborative therapeutic process with a person-centered, solution-focused and systems approach. My goal is to work with individuals to help bring awareness to their natural strengths and abilities.

My goal as your therapist is to help you be the happiest version of yourself. I believe we all need to work on ourselves on a daily basis to improve our lives and our outlook. The day to day struggles of life, work, family, friends and finding the balance is a challenge that we all endure. While you may be in need of therapy to help with clinically diagnosed conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and many others, you might also be a healthy individual looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation and desire to move in a new direction in your life.

Thank you for your interest in our counseling services! We bring a personable, down-to-earth, insightful and inviting approach to our work with individuals, couples and families. We value helping people move from "feeling stuck" in unhealthy relational patterns to experiencing greater freedom in their personal lives and relationships. Clients benefit from setting aside focused time to understand what drives these patterns via the lens of attachment needs. Thinking through and verbalizing new and different ways to engage in healthy relationships within the context of a safe, supportive and therapeutic environment can be invaluable.

At North Star Counseling we are conscious of clients in their totality; we take an integrative approach to healing the mind. Ultimately, we seek to heal by helping our clients to break free from destructive behaviors and enjoy a new and improved state of emotional, spiritual and physical health.

A great deal of my professional practice has been working with individuals, groups, couples and families, substance abuse, and LGBTQIA+ populations. I understand that no single approach is the right one for everyone & it is important to meet each person where they are. I believe it is important to tailor the therapy approach to each individual. As such, I use various approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, EMDR, Person-Centered, & Gottman Method for couples therapy. Let me help you get unstuck & develop skills to improve in the ways you would like. I am currently offering IOP and PHP groups.

I believe the therapeutic process is most effective when an authentic connection is developed to lay the foundation for change. Therapy should ideally be a collaborative relationship in which the therapist and client work together to build fresh coping skills and achieve desired goals. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental environment in which clients can explore their own personal pathways to well-being.

An ideal client would present with their struggle in transparency, with the desire to grow, and put in the work to achieve goals. That could be managing emotions, holding a job, rebuilding relationships, or perhaps implementing more self-care. A client who wants to heal, find peace, and promote balance and autonomy. I am very easygoing, and really like to showcase my ability to promote a safe trusting environment. It is okay to feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed in life; I hope to encourage and normalize the need to take care of ourselves.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

Are you struggling with difficult life transitions, depression, & anxiety? I enjoy working with clients who feel motivated to take that first step of exploring reasons why they are feeling unhappy or dissatisfied with their lives right now. I work with clients who want to gain insight & learn tangible skills that they can practice outside of the therapeutic sessions to change their lives for the better. My role as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to help individuals gain insight and feel empowered to create positive change in their lives. I offer a collaborative approach to create a unique treatment plan tailored to your needs.

I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing tendencies, and trauma. My therapeutic approach is designed to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and empowerment. Through thoughtful conversations and observations, I guide you toward new insights and self-discoveries.
