Therapists in Hellam, PA

I am a licensed professional counselor with 20+ years of experience. I am interested in helping people find hope and direction in their lives. Life has been difficult for many during these past few years and many people have been isolated from the support they need. It can be additionally challenging if you have symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, or mania. Through Telehealth and weekly appointments, I am accessible and can help you from the comfort of your own home. See link, lower right side of screen, to schedule directly on my website.

My approach to providing clinical services involves seven main components to help you achieve the success you desire: 1. Connectedness, 2. Goal Oriented, 3. Cognitive-Behavior Foundation, 4. Integrative CBT Approach, 5. Learning Focused, 6. Evidence-Based, and 7. Collaborative.

I am a Registered, Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor who believes in the power of art to transform and heal.

I offer creative arts therapies including art therapy, sand tray, and play techniques to help them overcome challenges.

With over 30 years of clinical practice, extensive continuing education, and an emphasis on what works rather than on what’s wrong, I tailor my approach to the specific needs of each individual, couple, family, and group for whom I provide service. Using proven methods, I am able to offer, among others, supportive, interactional, brief problem-solving, cognitive-behavioral, including trauma focused cognitive-behavioral, and relational psychotherapies. Common themes among my clients are concerns related to relationship difficulties, bereavement, mood disorders including depression, anxiety, childhood behavioral problems, eating disorders, compulsive and additive behaviors, and difficulties related to specific life circumstances.

Each client's psychological and spiritual needs are a focus addressing relational issues, behavioral issues, and mood-driven difficulties with consideration of individually-specified treatment goals. Overarching treatment outcome is healing and restoration and rehabilitation for clients to become healthy, happy and productive individuals.

My ideal client is a client who understands that therapy does not fix you because you are not broken. The ideal client understands that therapy helps them to uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow them to deal with the challenges that arise in life. Therapy is an interactive process between the client and clinician. My treatment strategies are rooted in an existential approach. I do not believe in a one-size-fits all approach therefore I do not prescribe to a set of techniques and procedures, I draw techniques from a variety of therapeutic modalities to better accommodate my clients needs.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I am trained to take a holistic approach to healing. That’s really just a fancy way to say that I help you look at and focus on everything that makes you, you.

I work with individuals to make that easier by creating a safe place to explore strengths, family history, support systems, community, and barriers. Together we walk the journey to healing and change, whatever that may look like.
