I also have had training in ecosystemic structural family therapy in which helps examine behavioral patterns in the home.
Research shows at least 1 in 5 people struggle with an anxiety disorder. Helping someone with anxiety or OCD has become a true passion of mine- or the "bread and butter" of my therapy skillset. I am a state licensed professional counselor drawn towards helping children and adults to be the best version of themselves. I primarily use a short term, problem solving approach also known as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but often use a "neapolitan" combination approach in working with people to tailor to their each individual needs.

I have experience working with a wide variety of issues, including substance abuse/ addictions, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, legal difficulties, anxiety and depression, and working with individuals and family members of those suffering from chronic mental illness.
As an experienced therapist, I approach each client as an individual, with unique stories, experiences, and struggles; it is my intention to help each person develop a deeper and more postive understanding of themselves, and hopefully the world around them, including their relationships and activities; I believe we are all given gifts and abilties and my goal ultimately as a therapist is to assist in others discovery and developing the qualites that make them unique and can lead to a satisfactory and meaningful existence. I believe in learning about clients in a non-judgemental and person centered manner.

I am experienced in cognitive behavioral therapy and a family systems approach to help couples and families resolve conflicts and be more "at ease" with each other.
Meaningful personal growth and self-efficacy can be realized by any person, couple or family in the face of personal challenges. These can be internal (despair, depression, grief, anger, or anxiety), external (lack of supportive relationships, disharmony), and interactive (blaming, perceptions and reciprocal reactions to each other's behaviors). How well you manage to cope, survive and eventually thrive in the midst of these challenges can be aided by establishing a genuine collaboration with a competent therapist. Teletherapy makes it even easier to select and engage with a licensed counselor who fits your particular needs.

Trauma tends to be considered a buzz word. If you have experienced a traumatic event. You know that there is nothing trendy about what you experience. There is a want to escape the memory and constant reminders of the past. The need to move forward and progress in life. However, there is lingering guilt of what has occurred and how it has continued to make an impact. Being able to identify your triggers, cope with them, and replace the negative thoughts about the experience tends to be the common goal. To feel that your past is not holding you back.

Peter's Mountain / Camp Hebron area. Watch out for deer. It's only 15 minutes from the Burg but it's a whole different world up here. My wife and I moved up here in '19 right before Covid. Turned out to be a good thing because Covid dismantled my practice so I hit the 'easy button' and just moved my office to my house. I never intended to be a 'teletherapist.' It feels like 'phone a friend' to me and not actual treatment. But I begrudgingly did Zooms for a couple years. In my 20 years of experience, the two years of Zooms were the only two years I didn't enjoy. (I'm no longer doing them.)

Deciding to reach out for help is admirable and shows tremendous strength. Everyone faces life experiences and thoughts that impact their mental health. I genuinely believe that everyone has strengths and skills to overcome life struggles. It is important to me that I provide my clients with a comfortable and safe environment to explore those strengths and skills. I believe feeling accepted, no matter what you share, can help you avoid holding back out of fear or disapproval, and lead to meaningful changes and growth.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
