Therapists in Collegeville, PA

In order for effective change to happen in psychotherapy there has to be a good alliance between therapist and client. I seek to provide a sense of safety and understanding so that issues can be explored, overcome or reconciled. I work with people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, stress related illness, anger management problems and relationship issues. My intention is to help people improve their overall health, enhance their well being, recognize their inherent strengths and feel more fulfilled.

Challenges and occasional catastrophes are inevitable, and serve to strengthen our confidence in the long run. If our fear and negativity are running the show, however, we get stuck. Let's pick apart the patterns that do not serve and re-author a peaceful, vibrant future. Using a combination of psychotherapy and coaching allows us to uncover destructive patterns, heal, and then move forward in a positive, purposeful direction. What are the painful ideas, feelings and memories that fuel your reactions?

I have worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings across various age ranges, developmental, and life stages. I have worked with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, victims of trauma, substance abuse, co-occurring substance abuse/mental health diagnoses, relational conflict, bereavement, and other behavioral diagnosis. I use therapeutic modalities, including Narrative therapy, Emotionally focused Therapy, CBT, Person Centered Therapy, systemic therapy, mindfulness and trauma focused techniques. I use an eclectic approach in effort to enable my clients to be their authentic and deepest self.

You are unique! As such, the story you tell me about your life, the way YOU see it, is where we will begin. Using both traditional and mindfulness-based approaches, I as your mirror will help you decide what it is you want to explore about your life... about yourself. From there I'll guide you in the process of gently and compassionately finding ways to effect the changes that help you meet your goals and find the joy, peace, and happiness you deserve.

I will help you to feel comfortable from the moment you arrive in my office. In my work I employ more traditional family-of-origin methods as well as newer modalities such as EMDR and Emotional Freedom Techniques. I work with individuals only, over the age of 21. I have expertise in Anxiety, Depression, Attention Deficit Disorder, Parent-Child, Work and Relationship Issues. I work with numerous mid-career individuals with work stress or those seeking to change career. Finally, I do enjoy pursuing spiritual and existential issues of life.

No matter what background we come from life tends to bring its own suffering and difficulties. I view therapy as a place where challenges and painful emotions can be confronted in a safe and caring environment. My personality is warm and empathetic, and I aim to provide a place where clients feel heard, cared for, and listened to. I view clients as being the author of their own lives. Thus, I aim to be collaborative and to help come up with goals that are important and meaningful to you. My style is action oriented, and I try to push clients out of their comfort zones, through the use of mindfulness and behavioral changes.

My inclusive work focuses on: Helping people to feel regulated and empowered, and to feel seen, safe, and valued for who they are in our process together; those struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression and anxiety; chronic pain, grief and loss, phobias, racing thoughts, crossroads and upheaval; as well as Body Image, with a specific focus on Body Neutrality and Health At Every Size (HAES) – all with mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance.

I am easy to talk to and confide in, sensitive to clients needs and work in a collaborative way to re-empower clients. I help clients feel comfortable, relax and sort out their feelings, clarify their goals, develop healthy, positive attitudes and solve their problems with my support, guidance, skill, and encouragement. Using many approaches I help clients to relieve emotional distress, remove obstacles and make positive, constructive changes. After listening carefully to clients describe their problems, I often use a variety of techniques to help clients resolve their problems. Free information. Free telephone consultation.
