Therapists in Pennsylvania
I am highly trained in working with children, adolescents, couples and families.
I practice a multi-modal approach which includes relational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnotherapy, when indicated, in a family systems context. My approach is direct, problem solving oriented and skills building. Often my therapy attempts to increase a sense of well-being while increasing competence and mastery in engaging in the challenges of life.

As a therapist, I will help you take all of the stress and rearrange it into something beautiful for yourself, your relationship, or both.
Life gets messy and complicated. Struggling with the work/life/family balance can be managed by acknowledging the challenge and talking about it. Most clients struggle with some type of anxiety or depression. In the session, we start by working toward developing a coping skill "toolbox" and learning how to recognize when those symptoms start. Most clients want to feel heard and want to have strategies to use to help manage their symptoms. I also find that most clients want a person to listen, someone who is impartial, who can challenge but offer a perspective.

I prioritize emotion as the primary focus in individual experiences and significant relationship interactions.
The process of empowerment through self-discovery was one of the greatest gifts I gave myself and is one of my primary goals as a therapist. I assist clients with discovering strength by working through the emotions and negative experiences that have left them feeling lost, unworthy, and/or defeated. I want clients to know they are not alone and that past or present circumstances do not have to define who they are or who they want to be. Change is not easy, yet within conscious effort, introspection, and clarity, exists the power for clients to direct their lives.

Most importantly, I work with the hope and confidence that we can create a healthy therapeutic relationship that promotes healing and growth for anyone and everyone involved.
For me, to live is to feel loved and connected. From my perspective, almost every mental health ailment is born from that feeling being fractured or broken. As a physical break of the bone requires care in order to heal, so too do we deserve support in emotional healing. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), having received my Masters degree in Community and Trauma Counseling through Jefferson University, I diagnose and treat the people I work with through a social context and strength-based approach. Individuals, couples and families are all welcome here.

Life is never the same after the loss of a loved one; it rattles you to your core. You struggle to regain your balance and grapple with the incomparable pain you feel. You don’t know how to carry on now that your beloved family member, spouse, friend, or pet is gone. They were such a meaningful part of your life and made you so happy. Now, their absence feels like a piece of you has been ripped away. You’re so disoriented from the loss that you keep thinking to yourself, “This isn’t real. They can’t be gone.”

My clients have worked through their grief, finding a healthier work/life balance, and have gotten to a place where they can do their best to live a life that's aligned with their values. My clients are people who want to break away from maladaptive generational cycles and trauma. They want to feel closer to their lineage by exploring different aspects of themselves and their culture. My clients recognize that in order to be a good ancestor for generations after them, they have to put in the work now by unlearning and training their brains to disengage from behaviors that no longer serve them.

I address a wide range of issues including interpersonal violence, depression, anxiety, family/ relationship dynamics, gender, sexuality, identity, grief/loss, and challenging life transitions.
In my individual, couples, and family work, values of collaboration, mutuality, and connection guide my practice. I partner with clients to identify their own unique strengths that can be used as resources to foster growth and change. I am attentive to the role of early family experiences, cultural values, oppression, and stigma in shaping client's experiences. Particularly when addressing painful or traumatic areas, I attend to clients' emotional safety using mindfulness and body awareness. I believe that healing happens in the context of honest relationships and invite my clients to engage in open dialog about our work together.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
