Family Therapy in Jefferson County, PA

In life we are often faced with challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and loss. These issues can shake us to our core, cause us to question ourselves, and doubt our place within the world. Working through these issues in a safe and secure therapeutic relationship can provide sanctuary, comfort, and healing. I can help you work through these concerns, increase awareness, and build connections within your life to cope with challenges in healthy ways.

I have always desired to work in the field of counseling, supporting individuals on their path to understanding their feelings, behaviors, and thoughts in order to make changes and explore solutions. In my work as a pediatric infant mental health specialist and behavioral therapist, I have had opportunity to support diverse needs ranging from challenging behaviors, anxiety, depression, PTSD, domestic violence, relationship issues, and adverse experiences

Do you sometimes feel like you can't quite accomplish what you want - in your personal life, work, or relationships? Does your mind get bogged down or overwhelmed with all of those thoughts and things you want or wish you could be achieving? I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, while owning the ability to work through the situations that arise during our lives. My goal is to partner with you to work through what brings you to this point in your life, and to assist in navigating through your goals to continue on your life path while finding balance in your life.

Anxious? Stressed? Having issues in your relationships? Are you struggling with loss and grief? All people experience difficulties in life. You don't have to face it alone. I appreciate the courage needed to take that first step for help. If you are ready to take that step, contact me. We will work together to get you where you want to be. I help people with a wide range of concerns: anxiety, relationship/family issues, loss and grief, and career challenges. You do not have control over other people’s lives, but you do have control over yours. If it doesn't feel that way, I can help you regain a sense of control of your life.

Have you been feeling lonely, disconnected or not like yourself? Maybe there are issues from the past that you haven't dealt with that you would like to heal without feeling overwhelmed. Possibly you feel swept away by your emotions and don't know how to get them under control. Perhaps you are feeling stuck, frustrated or tired. Oftentimes these issues can lead to anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues. My specialty is in helping you identify & address the root issues, develop the skills to deal with those issues, while getting in better relationship with yourself.

It is okay not to be okay! If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or feeling stuck, I can help. My clients see me because they are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or relational/marital conflict. Others see me to gain insight and understanding to a life transition or temporary problem. I provide a safe and warm environment for my clients to feel understood, encouraged, and hopeful. I use evidence-based and goal-directed treatments. I am passionate about working with people to reach their potential and flourish. Therapy within a Christian framework is offered upon request.

Opening yourself up to someone takes a lot of courage. Just beginning this step, looking for a therapist, shows that courage, whether it's for yourself or a family member. I have worked extensively with children (4+) teenagers, and families over the past 10 years in different mediums. I begin by helping my client to feel safe and and encouraged. One of the most important aspects of beginning this relationship is to encourage clients to identify strengths, resilience, and areas for growth. We will work by applying these strengths to address your goals and develop and practice coping skills to increase your belief in yourself.

We all experience difficulties, and at times it can be tough to sort through our thoughts and feelings alone. I believe that we all have patterns of reactions that arise in our thoughts and behaviors. Some of these patterns may be healthy and some unhealthy. I like to think of the therapeutic environment as a safe place to sort through what makes us, “us”. Within this environment we hope to become more aware of our patterns and decision making. With increased awareness we can make the decisions on what continues to work for us and what no longer serves us well.

My focus is to help you identify and develop your individual goals in treatment. I will guide you to achieve those goals and find ways to better understand and overcome your barriers. I take a strength based approach to provide a safe space for you to share your concerns. I have experience working with a wide range of emotional and behavioral disorders including: anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, trauma, adjustment disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and family systems.

Immediate openings available! Everyone could benefit from counseling at some point in their life - there is immense strength in reaching out for help. Counseling offers the opportunity to find healing in areas of pain in your life, as well as, dedicated time set apart to grow into a better version of yourself. As we work together, I will prompt you to reflect on your values and core beliefs and explore how you can live them out in a more fulfilling way. Our treatment plan will then be uniquely created to meet your needs and align with your values.

I am a licensed counselor with over 20 years experience working with individuals to address various mental health needs. I take a collaborative approach, working with clients to help them develop a “tool box” to address obstacles related to depression, anxiety, marital and family issues, and adjustment to any changes life may throw their way. I have an interest in working with adult women facing periods of transition, such as moving from school into the work force, and navigating changes in interpersonal relationships, career, or family responsibilities. I also enjoy working with clients seeking a faith-based approach to therapy.
