EMDR Therapists in Port Carbon, PA

Suppose you returned home one night to your "empty" house on a corner to find the door smashed open, and sounds of someone inside and things falling on the floor. Afraid, you walk around the corner where your neighbor then tells you she saw smoke coming from your window and the firemen are inside finding the cause. Your attitude toward the intruders completely changes when you understand their purpose. I give clients similar insight about the problems hurting them and their relationships. It's tragic to suffer and to fear solvable problems because you don't understand them.

At Wellsprings, we recognize the importance of forming safe connections between the client and the counselor to help the therapeutic relationship. Our commitment lies in understanding your personal history and unique experiences so that our counselors can develop a tailored plan that caters to your needs. During therapy, your counselor will support you in understanding your goals and recognizing any challenges that could hinder your progress. We want to assist you in developing the skills needed to overcome these obstacles.

Please note that I work only with clients in California at this time. Often, when we connect with therapists, we present with clear issues we want to address. Other times, we could be struggling to interpret how a life event may be affecting us. When I work with a client, I like to know and understand that person deeply, including where they feel they are now in life, and how is it they got here, to this point. We will delve into moments in your earlier life that you believe may hold some importance, some current relevance, what I term the echo of our pasts. It is this exploration that makes therapy both enlightening and releasing.

I combine empathy, humor and creativity when working with clients. I have found that one of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship. I am person-centered, collaborative and focus on a healthy working relationship that builds on my client's strengths and experiences. I am trained in a variety of evidence based counseling theories and have over ten years of experience working in the mental health field. I enjoy working with teens and adults. An instillation of hope, collaborative relationship and readiness for change are all ingredients for healing and wellness.

My focus is on providing telemental health to individuals and couples located in PA, FL and NY. Life issues and anxiety, depression and relationship concerns are my primary focus.

My passion is helping people find their strength to cope with life challenges.I work alongside clients to help them discover and embrace their personal power. I feel my life work is to help people gain strength to move beyond the struggles of life and realize their full potential.

Have you been wondering if your current challenges are due to past traumatic life events? Do you struggle in relationships? If so, I may be the Therapist for you. I specialize in trauma therapy for teenagers and adults. If you or your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or life stressors, therapy with me can help with positive changes to strengthen self-esteem and confidence. Clients who work with me report living a more fulling life with less worry, sadness and fear, after working on core issues.

Many years ago I changed my life by pursuing a more fulfilling career. The concept that most inspired me was “Neuroplasticity”- That we can change the way our mind works and in so doing experience greater well-being. Negative beliefs about ourselves are generally linked to negative things that we experienced in the past, or positive things that we needed to experience but unfortunately never did. By utilizing interventions that target "what happened" or "what needed to happen but didn't" we can increase our self-worth. We can't undo "what happened" but we CAN undo the impact that hurtful experiences/relationships have had on us.

As an LCSW, I have worked in the mental health field for over a decade. I graduated from Widener University in 2020 with my MSW and a certification in trauma treatment. I attended Penn State University and graduated in 2011 and from there began working in the mental health field with adults in a residential setting. This is where I found my passion for helping people heal from traumas.

Navigating difficult times in our world today can seem overwhelming. Finding a therapist to help you do so, the right one, is an important first step to recapture your resilience.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of worry and anxiety? Are you struggling with uncertainty and feel like your emotions are all over the place and stick around for days? You don't enjoy life as much anymore and you don't know where to start. Therapy can help with all of these struggles and get you back on the right track. If you want to get back to the life that you enjoy, feel free to reach out to me for a free consultation.

Life is too short to be living a life that 'does not work'. Family of origin patterns often interfere with successful relationships; using Imago therapy we can uncover and heal emotional patterns that prevent marriages from thriving. The stresses of life can be overwhelming especially if one is not in a good relationship with oneself - are you your own best friend? Sometimes anxiety or depression or anger get in the way of a satisfactory life; it doesn't have to be that way and I can help you change what needs to be changed.

It's been my experience that people usually seek therapy when they have tried everything they know to improve their life and it's just not working. Clients are often quite desperate when they enter therapy. I believe my job as a therapist is to give people new options for what to do to make things better. I try to help with kindness and humor, drawing on a wealth of knowledge, information, and experience to help my clients achieve their goals, whatever they may be. I am continually awed by the amazing ability of the human spirit to grow, heal, and develop.

First we will talk about your concerns and ways you’ve already tried to address your issues. During the evaluation we will create a plan that will address your current situation with respect to your history. As we evaluate patterns we can work to understand and reprocess any traumatic memories. Together we can build a connection based on trust and honesty. Your confidence will improve as we practice using creative tools and new skills. As you move forward, sessions can be scheduled at comfortable intervals to provide ongoing, affordable support for as long as you need.

Identifying a need for support and reaching out for help can feel vulnerable. In my practice, I foster a safe and nurturing environment to support your journey of self-exploration and healing. I see myself as a partner in your process. My style is warm and compassionate and I employ an integrative, collaborative and creative approach to therapy. I carefully attend to how our social location in the world and intersecting identities influence individual experience. We will begin by building an authentic relationship and co-creating a direction that fits your individual, therapeutic needs.

My ideal population is adults struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, or substance use - however I believe that everyone deserves to have a therapist who is dedicated to them, and I would never turn away a client unless their needs were out of my scope of practice. My ideal client is someone who is motivated for therapy and is willing to learn.
