Therapists in New Britain, PA

We are currently living in very uncertain times. Within this uncertainty, it is important to find a relationship that will help you sustain important relationships. Part of what makes our relationship work, beyond my clinical skills, is when my clients feel heard and understood. My clients often present with a variety of issues including relationship issues, anger, depression, anxiety, and/or problems with unhealthy substance use/abuse. When we focus on increasing function my clients find their lives to be more workable and enjoyable.

I helped individuals suffering with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, Autism, ODD, PTSD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, and grief/ bereavement, etc. While, I have had experience working with clients ages 3-65, I am most passionate about helping children and adolescents. I have worked in co-occurring mental health and substance abuse settings, running parenting, domestic violence, and anger management groups involving both mandated and voluntary clients. I worked in school settings as well. I have also had experience providing career services, leadership development skills, and self-advocacy skills.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

I welcome someone who is ready to make life changes and would like assistance to take them from where they are to where they want to be. A willingness to work with a supportive, experienced (since 1979) social worker/therapist who uses dynamic and interactive approaches, knowing that I am the guide, and you are the one who knows yourself best and that healing comes from within. Relationship, self esteem, body image, career goals, family challenge, sexuality, spirituality, illness, loss, addiction, depression or anxiety related issues. I offered my first TEDx talk called Overcoming the Taboo of Touch, about platonic touch by consent.

Life can be difficult to navigate. Whether it's transitions in family dynamics, unresolved trauma, relationship issues or the stressors of life events, you should not feel you are an island in your own life. Challenges are to be expected, getting help for these challenges is a choice. I have been both a middle and elementary school counselor for 32 years combined. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Custody Evaluator. I believe my passion and experience in working with children, teens and families along with individuals facing life transitions give me the skill set to help clients navigate toward positive, healthy change.

I believe that every person deserves someone in their corner; someone to listen and truly hear what they’re going through. All it takes is one person to believe in you and your ability to grow. With that in mind, I bring compassion, understanding, and energy when joining with clients to build strategies for self-regulation, independence, and healthy relationships. I have a keen understanding of the issues and pressures faced by youth and young adults today in an ever-changing world.

I view each child, teen, young adult, and family as unique. That uniqueness is why I draw from different therapy modalities to support emotional well-being. Anxiety and depression often stem from complicated interpersonal relationships, lack of self-confidence, and feeling unable to control events in our lives. Our joint effort can help you attain the freedom to make positive choices in your life. I bring clinical experience offered in a genuine, nonjudgmental, confidential atmosphere. Drawing from cognitive behavior approaches, insight therapy, and mindfulness practice, my goal is to provide tools to help you in improving your state of mind.

If you find discord between different parts of yourself and between you and people or situations in your life, consider embarking on this journey to personal freedom and self-discovery. This work is about finding your own inner balance and resolution and feeling free to express your authenticity. I work with mood disorders, anxiety, sleep, stress, family and relationship conflicts, compulsions and addictions. I use my own mix of many theoretical and practice techniques in the service of your resolution, integration and wholeness, with special expertise in relationship counseling, spirituality and gender issues.

I accept most insurances. I will help you with your anxiety, help solve your problems and make decisions, feel less overwhelmed, and manage your emotional pain. I will help you organize your life, thoughts, and decisions. I have over 3o years of experience working successfully with children, women, and couples.

Gifting yourself the time for therapy is an act of self care in itself. In this fast paced world we rarely slow down to observe our mental well-being. Taking this time allows us a chance to gain clarity in our life. What could be better than that? Clients seem to benefit from my compassionate, yet direct and humorous approach. I can help you gain self-awareness and self-acceptance through a humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and trauma-informed framework. I love to work with people of all ages, including kids over the age of 7, creating a safe space to explore emotions and process feelings.
