Therapists in Wescosville, PA

Looking for a therapist with extensive experience with behavioral, emotional, and social challenges? I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults experiencing Life Transitions, Adolescent Issues, Post-partum Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Bereavement/Grief, Anger Management, Depression and Anxiety. My approach is empathetic, genuine, and honest, and takes the whole person into consideration in order to foster growth and healing.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

Most of us will experience difficulties in our lives at one time or another, and during these times, we can benefit greatly from some extra support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have seen that therapy can be an effective way to improve wellness and learn new coping skills to manage stressors while engaging in a supportive relationship. I am able to help individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, marital difficulties, PTSD, and ongoing stressors, as well as those wanting help in reaching their personal goals. I enjoy collaborating with other counselors and can also provide career guidance and supervision for licensure.

I consider it an honor to be invited into your journey of personal reflection and growth. I believe that the journey starts with a safe, supportive, environment that allows the individual/unit to freely express themselves. Once a therapeutic relationship has been created, I will provide guidance and suggestions that are based on research-based theories. Some integrated theories include: Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Positive Psychology, and Systems Theory. Guidance is based on a Humanistic Approach that individuals/units can find meaning by focusing on free-will, self-determination, and responsibility.

I believe in focusing on the strengths an individual has and using them as a platform to improve and address their struggles. I offer a warm, inviting, and relaxed therapeutic environment and strongly believe that a positive client/counselor relationship is important to successful treatment. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults with a variety of diagnoses and struggles including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, parenting skills, grief and loss, Bipolar Disorder, life changes, anger management, PTSD, LGBTQAI+ concerns, and more.

As your therapist, I will help you gain insight and coping skills so that you can build resilience, self- trust and HOPE in the face of adversity. I know that life throws us curveballs, but I am here to walk along side of you as you move toward healing. Research tells us that trauma is held in the body as well as the mind. I will give you the knowledge you need to calm your nervous system and move toward a healthier and more peaceful life.
