Therapists in Mont Clare, PA

My aim as your therapist is to create a space where healing, empowerment, strength, and growth can be experienced. To achieve this, I draw upon interventions of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you meet your goals in therapy. I believe therapy is not one thing for any one person, but that ultimately it can be a place where meaning and wholeness can be found. As your therapist I will always strive to meet you where you are at and to meet your needs in a way that is collaborative and effective.

Are you struggling with wanting change and not knowing how to start? Are you dealing with worry, sadness or relationship struggles? Are you wanting to work through trauma from your past and not able to navigate that on your own? If you identify with these questions I may be the right therapist for you.

Since starting in the field about 20 years ago, I have had the privilege of working therapeutically with diverse populations in various clinics, hospitals, and schools. Over the past several years I have focused on treating clinical and forensic clients through my private practice. I am currently accepting new clients to be seen either virtually or in person at my office in Phoenixville, PA.

As the owner of Life Guidance Associates I love seeing my patients get better! I firmly believe a "good fit" between therapist and patient is key to success! I Integrate evidence based strategies. My style is direct and interpersonal. In treatment we will address not only your current issues but their source. Therapy is always a collaborative experience for my patients. It takes some time to fully resolve years of interpersonal relationship problems, previous trauma, unhealthy coping skills, feelings of emptiness, helplessness, powerlessness, anxiety, depression etc. but with patience and persistence it can be done!

I have specialized in helping adolescents and young adults for 30 years. I have a unique understanding of the challenges that they are trying to navigate. From social media, developing healthy relationships with friends and family making choices about their next steps in life and helping them to gain a stronger sense of self. This is a personal journey, one that I am honored to be a part of. Together we will identify the challenges that are interfering with their quality of life, then we will develop an individualized plan to move forward. I invite you to come in, have a seat, take a breath and your first step forward.

I enjoy working with clients with many different types of concerns or areas in which they would like to grow. I have been working with children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families since 2007. I tailor my treatment approach to each client and I believe that each client is an expert on themselves. I have assisted clients with many different reasons for coming into counseling, and only some of those topics are highlighted here.

Tired of hurting? Frustrated with others giving well-meaning but unhelpful advice? Do you long to be heard? You're certainly not alone. We all ache for different reasons including deep sadness, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, job challenges and addiction. Often, what we need is for someone to truly listen and help us sort through our thoughts and feelings to gain understanding about the situation and ourselves. I believe in the therapeutic process because I know that it's effective. It involves no longer avoiding what is painful, confusing or scary and, with help, walking through it to find both insight and relief.

Anxious and stressed about life, work, relationships? Want to get a fresh start and live a more fulfilling life? Do you want to feel better, think better, and get more out of your life, work, and relationships? I have 30 plus years of experience helping people reduce anxiety, change negative self-talk, and become more value driven in their lives. We will work toward improving coping and communication skills, bolstering self-esteem, and promoting emotional, cognitive, and behavioral change. As a team, we will work towards setting life goals, creating healthy relationships, and reducing that stress and anxiety permanently.

I aim to be your mirror, holding steady through the difficulties and triumphs of self reflection, to support your journey of personal growth. I will help you identify patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you or your vision for happiness and health. Together, we will create time, space and energy for you to reach your goals. I strive to instill hope, improve self-regulation and relaxation, forge new and positive behaviors which serve you in living your life.

Are you feeling stuck and need some guidance for growth? I won't offer band-aid solutions, only lasting and meaningful change. Therapy to me is a process of identifying and understanding who you are and where you want to go. I want to journey with you to the deeper levels of your struggles and find the light. The arrow is a powerful symbol to me that represents the growth we are capable of. In order for an arrow to aim forward, it must be pulled back with the bow to gain strength.

Friends and family may be your biggest resource for support. However, you may be faced with challenges and struggles, that their advice can't address. Or, they may be part of the problem. That's why it's best to turn to a professional who can provide the skill needed to help you face these challenges in an objective, nurturing environment. My years of experience have given me the opportunity to counsel many individuals, couples and families, with a wide range of issues. Let me hear from you. I'll help you get back on track.

For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.

You can’t put your finger on it, but you're sure something is wrong. You work hard to do the right things, but there is a persistent feeling of dissatisfaction. It’s as if you only exist to help others. You take on extra assignments at work even if you’re already overwhelmed. You’re always the one friends ask for favors and advice. Your family relies on you to keep everything running smoothly, and you do it all without complaining. But lately, you’ve begun to wonder what it’s all for. You want so desperately to take a moment to figure out what you want, but so many people are counting on you, and you can’t let them down.

Are you feeling overwhelmed in your relationship, or struggling with communication? Perhaps you are dealing with a life-changing event? I help individuals and couples to overcome their challenges and find more fulfillment and success in their everyday life, guiding them to attain the personal growth they're striving for. I understand the struggles that accompany a busy and demanding lifestyle, and the fears and anxieties that can arise when life suddenly changes course. I can help guide you through the chaos that can often distract us from our ultimate goals while working on healing things that have happened to you in the past.

Families I meet are confronting obstacles related to stress, anxiety, depression, identity, self esteem, and behavior. These challenges are taxing for one person, impacting our family and personal relationships. Many carry this burden, seeking an opportunity to set them and forget them, searching for a new way to live. Hope is found in the family’s inner strength to grow and adapt, even as our roles and identities change. Let’s tap into your power to negotiate the ups and downs of relationships, mental health, and transitions.
