Therapists in Thornton, PA

I know that life changes can be unsettling, you may be feeling complicated emotions or you may find yourself repeating behaviors that don’t get you where you want to be. I am confident, together, we can affect a positive change within only a few sessions. I work with everyday people. Parents, adolescents, client with chronic pain, even immigrants like myself before becoming a US citizen. You are welcome here. Let’s right the wheel, and take control.

Are you trying to manage your stress in the ever-growing tumultuous environment? Are you working from home having a hard time juggling with family life? Perhaps you have a challenge with practicing effective communication? Or maybe just talking about your issues can be difficult, and that's ok. Do you want to learn more about yourself, how to cope in a healthy way, and have better communication? I can help. In my practice, I respect the unique experience of each individual. I see the particular difficulties that each faces. I listen and interact with empathy and provide insight and support. No two treatments are the same.

All clients are welcome, whether you have specific therapy goals or seek help with self-discovery and a nudge for change. I provide a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals (aro/ace affirming), alternative communities and relationships, neurodiverse experiences, both secular and faith-based exploration of existential questions, loneliness and community building, and immigration/ cultural discovery - to name a few areas of personal investment.

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.

We are passionate about helping adults & couples struggling with anxiety, relational distress, life transitions, sexuality & gender. It is essential to create a safe and shame-free space for clients to explore their emotions, sexual issues, fears of intimacy, and vulnerabilities in order to make powerful changes. If you find yourself feeling lonely, disconnected from your loved ones, experiencing self-doubt and allowing fear to control your life then we can help. Through this process you will learn ways to self-regulate your emotions, practice self-love, create healthy boundaries in your relationships, and take control of your life.

I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults (16+) manage anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum concerns/fertility issues, emotion dysregulation, increase pleasure and mastery, and feel more confident engaging in their everyday lives. I have intensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches such as CBT, DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma treatments such as prolonged exposure (PE) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) to help clients live more fulfilling lives, become unstuck, and build a life worth living.

My first goal when working with a client is to create a space of absolute safety, a space where people feel at ease to share the fullness of their suffering, to share their hopes and their dreams. I use a whole-person approach and learn not just about a person’s pain but also about their strengths and their vision for a better future. Together, my clients and I create a healing field that allows their deepest knowledge to flower. We transform confusion into clarity and habitual patterns into fresh action arising out of wisdom.

Navigating the complexities of the human experience can be hard and confusing. Despite our best efforts to construct a life aligned with our dreams and aspirations, we often find ourselves confronted by waves of pain, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, stress, and guilt.

We have cultivated an environment of peace, warmth, and acceptance to assure you will be respected, unconditionally.

Do your thoughts or feelings seem overwhelming at times? Do you want to explore how your brain works and what's going on with your feelings? When in an argument, do you give in, people-please, or bang your emotional head against a wall? Do you and your partner struggle to communicate?

Do you experience pelvic pain, sexual pain, or sexual difficulty? Are you wanting to open your relationship or explore your gender sexual identity? If so, reach out!

The journey of life can sometimes be trying, difficult, and uncomfortable, but I believe that by working together, you can open new pathways and attain your goals for a happier future. I look forward to working with you to explore the past, create meaning in the present and embark on an exhilarating future.
