Therapists in Seven Valleys, PA

You can change your life to be, do, and obtain precisely what you want. But this must start with a decision on goals and a willingness to be flexible in your beliefs and actions to achieve them. I take an active, engaged, and empowered approach to psychotherapy and coaching services to accomplish this. 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.

A lot happens in life, and no one lives your life but you. Surviving trauma can shake our understanding of ourselves and the world, leaving us confused and no longer at peace. My focus is creating a supportive environment so you can think clearly to work toward the life you want while making the life you have work better for you.

I went to Drexel University, obtaining my bachelor's in psychology, and Holy Family University, where I obtained my master's in counseling psychology.

Andy Warhol said, "Change doesn't happen by itself, you have to make it happen." I believe in guiding people to unlock their true potential and overcome obstacles through compassion and authenticity. Let's step outside our comfort zones and challenge our beliefs to make positive changes!

I utilize an eclectic and wholistic approach to counseling. I view healing from the perspective of full-body health as opposed to a mental and physical health separation. As a Christian, I enjoy incorporating the client’s spiritual journey into sessions as well which is done at the discretion of the client.

Life is complicated and fast moving. Life on life’s terms sometimes feels impossible to try and keep up. No one is immune to changes. It’s hard to accept and roll with the punches when your brain is telling you one thing, but your system/intuition is pulling you in the other direction. That feels scary and unfamiliar, maybe even causing you to miss out on life and all the possibilities hidden behind closed doors. Let me help you tear down those walls built by fear and kick open those doors to new possibilities. I embrace many therapy styles that can be compatible with what you need.

My counseling experiences over the years have been incredibly enriching and meaningful. I am continually moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings. Within these programs I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors.

With a focus on deep client connection, precise diagnosis, and effective therapeutic interventions, my practice stands out. I specialize in psychotherapy and psychological testing for diverse diagnoses. Additionally, I offer evaluations for medication management or alternative treatments like medicinal marijuana. Since 2007, I’ve been dedicated to providing psychotherapy for individuals of all ages, couples, and families, striving to alleviate psychological distress symptoms.

Feeling stuck is discouraging. Low self-esteem, worry about the future, and wounds from the past can hold us back from the freedom we crave to truly live and become 'unstuck.' Moving into that freedom requires both trust and a commitment to change. Change occurs as trust develops between a client and a compassionate therapist who serves as a guide through a journey of self-discovery and transformation. IHCW is a community is which pain and suffering meet hope and healing.
