Therapists in Grampian, PA

Through therapeutic modalities, I have had the opportunity to assist children and families during some of their most difficult times. I provide therapy on an individual and family basis. I have extensive training in trauma therapies and the effects on everyday living but also work with general anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns. I am focused on meeting the client wherever they are in their current state and finding a way to provide them with a safe environment that is focused on healing. At Safe Harbors, we provide hope during life's storms.

Being explorers of the human experience, we do the best we can to find answers and direction through the complexity of it all. As a result of this process, we learn who we are and who we are trying to become. I believe psychotherapy is a means for anyone seeking to better understand their relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.

I believe everyone can make positive changes in their life and therapy is a safe, supportive experience to help navigate through the change process. I provide treatment that is tailored to your needs and is focused on promoting your unique strengths while also addressing any barriers to progress. Whether dealing with a major life crisis or just wanting to improve the overall quality of your life or relationships, my focus is on helping you find the skills and strength to make meaningful change. Emphasizing individual goals and personal autonomy, I create a therapeutic environment that is positive, open-minded and non-judgmental.

Experiences like a persistent state of sadness, anxiety or even anger/resentment can leave you feeling stuck. After a while, being stuck can create frustration and feelings of loneliness. Over a decade of experience in the mental health field has taught me the strength of the therapeutic relationship in supporting people to free themselves from excessive emotional pain and to create new opportunities for happiness, excitement and peace of mind.

"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habit. Keep your habits positive because your habit becomes your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." - Mahatma Gandhi Our thoughts and feelings are not determined by a situation, but by our perception and interpretation of the situation. By changing our thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors we can learn to respond in a positive way, maximizing our potential for a rich, full, and meaningful life.

I feel therapy is beneficial to most individuals and being a therapist as a guide to a improved level of functioning is very important. I feel building strong relationships with clients is vital to helping individuals move forward and concentrate on this within my practice. I I like working with clients that want to adapt and adjust to better handle their overall functioning. Reaching out for support can be very difficult, but working together to move forward can be very beneficial for you, your family, work/other relationships, and your overall level of mental/emotional wellbeing.

I work with client's struggling with a range of emotional health and lifestyle issues. I enjoy using humor in my therapeutic approach as well as strengths-based focus to help you achieve your goals of emotional wellness.

I believe, the single most important element of counseling is the relationship between the therapist and client. The first step is for us to work together to balance both a professional and heartfelt relationship.

I serve a variety of client populations, including, youth, adolescent, adult and geriatric clients. Couples, Family, Individual and Group Therapy are a focus.

I love the counseling profession. I feel privileged to be invited to share with others in their life journey. You may be at a point in your life where you need someone to support you as you strive to understand yourself or your relationships. You may want to make changes but don't know what you need or where to start. Together we can explore your needs, frustrations, and problems and make a plan to address those issues in a way that works for you.

In the current world of ongoing and chronic stress, life issues can interfere with anyone's ability to live their life to the fullest. Sometimes these issues are life crises like the death of a loved one, new life phases like parenting and adjusting to a new born, or downsizing when the last child leaves home. Sometimes these issues are related to efforts to manage what feels like overwhelming stress with things like the over use of alcohol, drugs, video games, gambling, eating, anger or other less productive behaviors. Depression, anxiety, sleep issues and worry can all result from the experience of daily life. Counseling can help.
