CHIP | Children's Program Therapists in Hummelstown, PA

Life is a roller coaster. We all experience ups and downs, twists and turns. And at the end of the ride, we survived even though we may have been anxious, scared or excited. I use a strengths based approach with clients to help them achieve their goals. I am passionate about helping clients find their inner strengths and become their own "cheerleader". Clients are not alone on the journey ... we will journey together to discover strength, resilience and manage the stressors that our roller coaster lives bring to us.

My current focus is in working with those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD - Bravery, Perseverance, Determination) or have the symptoms of BPD (fear of abandonment, fear of being alone, low self esteem, lack of sense of self, mood swings, splitting, anger, emptiness, impulsivity, and lack of organization and structure), parents of those diagnosed with BPD, and all issues of high conflict divorce including Co-parenting, Reunification, and Custody Evaluation.

We are dedicated to thoughtfully serving your unmet mental health needs. We help disrupt any fears or stigmas in seeking care. Ignoring ones MH needs can lead to many unfortunate and unnecessary issues related to employment, relationships, and general uncertainty about your future. Whether you’re a parent dealing with stress from a child's behavior, someone struggling with anxiety or depression, or you’ve recently suffered a loss, we are prepared to support you. We welcome clients who have the desire to be "Elevated". That means you want to move forward eliminate problems/negative behaviors, and be Free from the weight of stress.

My approach to treatment is based in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model. I work to help you identify feelings that have an impact on your behaviors and attitudes. By identifying this string of thoughts, feelings and actions, we can work together to make changes that bring about positive outcomes in your life. At times, making changes can be difficult. Techniques of Motivational Interviewing are useful when struggling to determine what changes would be the most beneficial. I approach every session with a trauma informed attitude so events that leave an emotional imprint can be effectively explored.

With over 30 years of clinical practice, extensive continuing education, and an emphasis on what works rather than on what’s wrong, I tailor my approach to the specific needs of each individual, couple, family, and group for whom I provide service. Using proven methods, I am able to offer, among others, supportive, interactional, brief problem-solving, cognitive-behavioral, including trauma focused cognitive-behavioral, and relational psychotherapies. Common themes among my clients are concerns related to relationship difficulties, bereavement, mood disorders including depression, anxiety, childhood behavioral problems, eating disorders, compulsive and additive behaviors, and difficulties related to specific life circumstances.

Whether you're struggling with past traumas, navigating identity and relationships, or managing overwhelming emotions, I am here to support you. I am a trauma-focused therapist treating teens and adults, with a special focus on the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. I also treat anxiety, depression, BPD, and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). I offer a safe, inclusive space to explore your experiences, better understand your mental health, gain new skills, and find healing.

On the outside, you look like you’ve got it all figured out and everyone wonders how you manage to do it all. On the inside, you feel like a jumbled mess and have no idea how you’re going to keep it all going for much longer. You’re so used to taking care of everyone else and putting yourself last, if you’re even on your own list at all. I bet you’re having trouble sleeping and difficulty remembering what you even ate yesterday (did you even eat yesterday?).

One of the reasons that I choose to primarily work with children is my admiration for their incredible resilience despite some very difficult circumstances. I’m inspired by the resilience of children and their ability to “adjust their sails” when the tough winds of life blow. Despite their strength and determination, children often need a helping hand, a friendly face and a listening ear in order to develop resiliency. I view my work with children and their parents/guardians as “teamwork” as we seek together to identify what is needed to help children express themselves and improve their resiliency skills.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I believe that our challenges and strengths emerge from a combination of our personality, biology, family upbringing, environment, stage of life, and current relationships. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals, couples, and families make sense of these influences and understand the context that affects them. My second goal is to support my clients in making the changes they want within this context. I collaborate with my clients to find what works for them in therapy be it validation, challenge, comfort, support, guidance, or a good laugh.
