Expressive Arts Therapists in York Springs, PA

Clients ages sixteen through the lifespan are considered for acceptance. I counsel people dealing anxiety, depression, acute stress disorder, PTSD, mood management, grief, loss, suicide of a family member or friend, divorce, relationship issues, chronic or terminal illness, homelessness or domestic abuse. Counseling provides education, and supportive insight so that clients are able to develop healthier coping skills. I provide education and relapse prevention skills for clients with substance abuse and DUI issues. Referrals are made for clients who need more intensive care, due to advanced substance abuse.

I specialize in helping clients who are seeking a deeper connection to their own souls. Many of my clients struggle with a core sense of unworthiness and a tendency to prioritize others over themselves. They struggle with authenticity, self-esteem, feeling like a fraud, and setting boundaries due to early patterns learned in unhealthy family environments. This can result in feelings of isolation and being misunderstood. My approach is safe and supportive and is trauma-informed and spiritually integrative. I help creative, neurodivergent, highly sensitive, empathetic, and spiritually intuitive clients feel seen, heard, and affirmed.

I integrate expressive arts and evidence-based therapeutic practices. I emphasize change and choice through dance and therapeutic practices, awakening the conscious, exploring the past to bridge client’s experiences to their present self. I aim to help clients reconnect to their authentic self by finding compassion, self-acceptance, and a sense of freedom and inner strength. This connection reintegrates the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects into the client’s new narrative.

Hello, the work that I do with individuals, couples and families is based in a mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy approach.

This approach is great for those who experience anxiety, high levels of stress, trauma, depression, or have anger related concerns.

I believe therapy is a collaborative and healing journey. I do not believe in the “one size fits all” philosophy of therapy. Therapy is personal and should be reflective in the treatments used during your time in session. In therapy the client is the driver, and I am a passenger. The client is in control of the process and I as the counselor can be a guide and offer feedback, but ultimately, the client makes the final decision. The client and I create a goal plan and address their specific concerns. I strive to empower clients, so they leave the process more confident and successful.

We all come into this world with a blank canvas. All of our experiences throughout our lives get added to it. Sometimes, like art, life gets messy, and there are too many layers to get through. I am here to walk alongside you as you scrape off and explore the layers in your life and learn to paint a clearer picture. You are the narrator of your own story. Every person has the ability to learn tools to adapt to the crazy changes in this world.

Today more then ever, it is common to feel out of control, unbalanced, and insecure. When these feelings become reflected in food, eating habits, and body image, life can feel all the more confusing and difficult. You may find yourself preoccupied with distressing thoughts, your mood reliant on what you ate, and your self worth dependent on a number on the scale. I am here to help you take control of your narrative and gain freedom from the confines of disordered eating and distorted body image. Through aiming to increase acceptance and self validation while encouraging behavioral change, I am here to help.

As a woman, life pulls you in many different directions. Pleasing everyone leaves you feeling overwhelmed especially after loss or sudden change. Worry, fear, guilt, & obligation spiral. Life hits a tipping point: You need time to yourself, but you feel guilty & yet continuing to avoid how you feel, only makes things worse. Now you're at a turning point. I specialize in helping women, who feel anxious & depressed from major life challenges, transitions, trauma & losses, move forward with renewed confidence & hope. With 30 years of experience, I collaborate with you to decrease anxiety & help you reach your personal goals.

When you are down, therapy helps you look up. When you feel agitated or fearful, therapy helps you find courage and hope. When you crave a substance or addictive behavior, therapy provides healthier tools for self-regulation, When you are swamped by unwanted feelings, therapy help you soften the disruption and return to your "better self." Through therapy and psychoeducation, I can help you replace old, limiting mental habits with more effective ones.
