Therapists in Shrewsbury, PA

Finding the right support is important. It takes courage to seek help when you are hurting. Perhaps life has brought you challenges and transitions that feel overwhelming, My goal is to meet you where you are and provide a warm and collaborative environment in which you are supported, cared for, and seen. I can provide you with tools to help rebalance your life so that you can move forward with confidence and clarity. Together let’s create the beautiful story of the life your heart knows is possible. Give me a call and let's find out if we are a good fit.

My therapy approach is straightforward, practical, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I work with the adult population and generally use an eclectic approach that combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based principles (MBSR), Buddhist psychology, and Strength-based interventions. The approach involves helping you to liberate yourself from psychological suffering by increasing your self-awareness, identifying and addressing cognitive factors that promote suffering, and developing and consistently practicing skills to improve your overall well-being. The goal involves living a healthier and happier life.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

For over 40 years I have sought to understand truth and wisdom. I've come to recognize the nature of suffering and each persons desire for release from suffering. I know that healing is a gentle unfolding, created with correct individual guidance, support and care. This assists each person's understanding of their personnel truth and authenticity, which leads a deeper inner awareness of true self, inner wisdom and to peaceful liberation.

To help others, I believe that three traits are essential: competence, caring, and integrity. I continuously hone my competence by updating my skills and keeping up with developments in my field. In addition, I put a strong emphasis on personal growth and cultivating my relationships with others, believing that by living a full and meaningful life, I have more to offer my clients. I care deeply about my clients, admire their strengths, cheer their victories, and resonate with their disappointments. In terms of integrity, I commit to an approach that is kind, straight-forward,and respectful.

I enjoy working with people who are often considered outsiders, those challenge the established norms of our society, in their pursuit of a more holistic future for themselves and our world. This includes activists, educators, artists, fellow mental health professionals, writers, musicians, and those who live in ways unique to themselves. A throughline of my work revolves around the realm of disabilities, many of which remain unrecognized by others. I believe that disability advocacy requires working through issues of power, autonomy, social inequality, and environment.

I am a client-centered therapist that believes that the client is the number one priority. I believe in supporting the whole person and using holistic therapies wherever they can be used. I am currently licensed in both California and Pennsylvania

You’re in enough distress that you're looking for a therapist. Maybe you have a history of trauma and/or addiction and it's too much to handle alone. Perhaps there's illness, grief or loss. You need help to learn to deal skillfully with thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, triggers and flashbacks, Shadow material, and self-sabotage. You can live a free, clear life. There is a way to begin dissolving the hold, not just of psychological problems but, to begin to dissolve the ego itself that creates those problems by investigating the nature of Reality. This is deep psychological healing that can lead as far as spiritual awakening.

Feeling like you don't fit in anywhere? Are you in a transition? Would you like to have a skill set to deal with difficult situations? Have you thought about ways to control your addiction but can't seem to do it on your own ? Are you turned off by certain aspects of recovery programs? Would you like to develop a plan that will work specifically for you that's completely confidential? Are you an adoptee who is unsure of how to approach Adoptive family about searching for your roots ? Are you afraid of a second abandonment ? Is fear of abandonment repeated in all your relationships ? Have people called oyu co-dependent ?

Navigating the complexities of the human experience can be hard and confusing. Despite our best efforts to construct a life aligned with our dreams and aspirations, we often find ourselves confronted by waves of pain, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, stress, and guilt. In the midst of these struggles, it's natural to question ourselves and our behaviors, wondering, “What's wrong with me?” We feel exhausted as we desperately try to change ourselves, seeking any form of relief from the relentless tide of inner turmoil, yet it seems that nothing we do brings the desired results.

Clients who will benefit more from working with me are complex, sensitive persons and couples going through some kind of life transition, or some relational or existential crisis, who want to understand themselves better, integrate the many sides of their identity, "own" their experiences, and reflect about their life course and ways of being and relating. Also persons willing to heal from trauma, to build resiliency and unleash post-traumatic growth. I have lived in Europe, Africa and USA, and have developed an expertise in immigration, acculturation, and international and transnational identities and experiences.

Many of us wrestle to find hope in our lives, move forward, or just make it through the day. Depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and loss can take away motivation, causing struggle and suffering. This can change. Perhaps you're determining which life path to take or are dealing with past trauma, abuse, or painful memories. You don't have to carry this weight alone. I provide an unbiased, nonjudgmental space for adults to explore what is hindering them and overcome obstacles in healthy, ways.

Struggling with emotions that control and confine your life? I offer counseling for adults in a safe and relaxed atmosphere that helps you explore and understand your emotions, while teaching you practical skills to get a better sense of control. I’ve helped numerous people who once thought of themselves as “broken” get to a place where they can believe in themselves and be in the driver's seat with their thoughts and emotions. If you are ready to take control of your life, challenge your inner demons, and finally start living to the fullest, please don't hesitate to schedule a free consultation with me today!

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.

We are constantly transitioning and struggling with life experiences and relationships. Whether it is frustrations due to family or work interactions, or the grief and sadness that follows the death of a loved one, day to day life can be difficult to manage. When we learn how to manage our emotions, discuss what is making us uncomfortable, and work through a major life change, we can make the day to day more manageable. You are not alone in your struggles, and I hope to assist in your journey to making your life less stressful and more fulfilling.
