Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in 17601

In today’s society it is sometimes difficult to manage our mental health. We become anxious, depressed and sometimes our relationships suffer. Many of us suffer from traumatic experiences that we have not properly processed. It is important to find ways to cope with our anxiety, overcome our depression, process our trauma and learn to communicate in a positive manner in order to build healthy relationships with others as well as with ourselves.

Life's challenges can seem so overwhelming at times that we lose sight of our inner strength. Together, we will nurture and rebuild that strength so that life can feel good again! Imagine the life of a seed - buried beneath the dark, lonely, constricting soil. If the seed considered its future, it would feel bleak and hopeless. Yet within that seed lies the unseen power to break through the soil with strength and grace. We are in many ways, just like that seed - full of potential! Whether you are seeking help for your child or yourself - I am here for you. Just as importantly, I will be here to encourage you with a caring heart!

When life throws curveballs, we all need a little help. Whether you desire to build new skills to manage life, or desire to process difficult life experiences, I am here to provide authentic and open-minded support.

Life can be overwhelming. Whether you’re feeling stressed, struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in depression, or unable to break free from obsessive thoughts, therapy can help you move forward. When we experience trauma, life transitions, difficult relationships, and even everyday stressors, it impacts how we think, what we feel, how we see ourselves, and ultimately our ability to thrive. It is my mission to create a safe space where you can begin to see yourself differently, overcome challenges, and find hope and freedom!

I work with individuals (ages 14 & up) looking for relief, a change, direction, & for things to not feel so hard anymore. I am licensed to see patients state-wide in CA & PA & have an online teletherapy practice. My treatment style focuses on working to help patients gain a better understanding of what is going on & then teach strategies to lessen intrusive, anxiety & to build confidence. The reason I am able to achieve great results with my patients is that I help them figure out what factors & maladaptive patterns get in the way & teach them strategies to help alter these patterns so they can reach their full potential.

At Wellsprings, we recognize the importance of forming safe connections between the client and the counselor to help the therapeutic relationship.

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.

Is there an anxious voice in your head that sometimes speaks at full volume? Do you feel alone, uncertain, or "less than"? Or maybe you feel like you just can't stay on top of your life. You procrastinate and only get things done by self-medicating with panic? You may have habits you don't feel good about... you overeat, shop too much, spend countless hours online or in front of tv, or get too much or too little sleep. You might feel stuck, frustrated, or like something is missing. Or maybe you are a parent who feels worried and unsure about how to help a child or adolescent who is struggling?

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.

For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.
