Family Therapy in 14618

Do you want to feel more in control of your thoughts? Are you wanting to move more towards the people, places, and things that are important to you? Change can be scary. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. It can make us feel less interested in our favorite activities, like we will never be happy or fulfilled, or that there will never be a solution to what you are going through. Our anxious thoughts can get in the way of being present with ourselves and our family/friends. We all just want to feel grounded in the present moment, like we belong and are prepared to face anything that comes our way.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.

Hello and welcome! If you’ve landed here, you’ve taken the first step in seeking support for yourself or a loved one, and that effort should be celebrated. The idea of sharing details about personal lives with a stranger can be scary. Many people make the choice to connect with a trained therapist and end up finding value in having an unbiased person outside of their friend/family group listen, validate, and share helpful strategies. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2016 and I find great meaning in being able to partner with people as they move closer towards healing and growth.

Are you hoping to renew or deepen passion and joy in your relationship? Wondering how to reconnect and feel alive together? Desiring more harmony in your home or family?

I feel grateful for my job as a therapist everyday. Adolescents, adults, couples, families and parents come to me because they are experiencing depression, anxiety, hopelessness, ongoing family conflict, low self-esteem and other difficulties. If something is not right in your life you can expect me to initially listen intently as we work together to clarify your goals, so that your vision for a different life informs everything we do.

Do you find yourself dreading the next day, exhausted before it even begins? Struggling to feel present–your mind wandering to various stressors or intrusive thoughts? Feeling overstimulated or touched out? So much of our energy can be consumed by worry, stress, and anxiety. You're carrying so much and need a space that's just for you; where you can speak openly, on your terms, and feel safe doing so. Whether you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, burnout, self-esteem, difficult patterns emerging in your relationships, life transitions, postpartum, or parenthood–you don't have to carry it alone.

My goal is to join people where they are in their journey and identify the areas they would like to move through. The process of facing pain and being overwhelmed can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be faced alone. Together we focus on finding healthy and effective strategies to address the pain and stuck points that will lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Goals include increasing awareness of symptoms and healthy ways to address, establishing healthy relationships and interpersonal patterns, managing emotions, and healing.
