Family Systems Therapists in Strafford, PA

Telehealth in California, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Canada. You are warmly invited you to share in the amazing possibilities of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy can be instrumental in recovery from challenges of mind and heart including: depression, anxiety, trauma, finding purpose, life transitions, and many more. It can make heartbreak understandable, tolerable, and even growth-producing. It can provide the foundation for creating new healthier relationships based on respect, trust, compromise, and compassion. It can take an ordinary life and make it extraordinarily rich and purposeful.

I work with a wide variety of clients and ages (school-age through adult) with a particular interest in adolescents and young adults having difficulty with life transitions. I frequently work with young people who struggle with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD/Executive dysfunction, and high functioning autism. I work with individuals, couples and families.

For most people taking the step to start working on therapeutic goals can be intimidating. I pride myself in utilizing a collaborative approach to treatment that meets clients where they are while also celebrating the progress they make along the way. I firmly believe that within each person lies the key to improving their own mental wellbeing. I help clients find strength within themselves by unearthing their personal key and then apply it to their life. As a therapist and supervisor I focus on family, couples and children's therapy, especially working with neurodivergence and the full autism spectrum using evidence-based models.

Accepting New Clients! Empathy, validation, non-judgement, and authenticity are what you will experience.

I have a firm belief that we are influenced directly or indirectly by our family systems and culture. My mission is to empower each individual by teaching and guiding them along the journey of personal growth and change. I believe everyone’s situation is unique, therefore, I prefer to use an integrative approach where we find which therapeutic modality is best for you.

The desire for healing is a natural part of the human experience that is felt at all stages of life. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story with your unique goals and needs in mind. Through an integrative yet family systems-oriented approach to treatment, I am passionate about serving as a fellow traveler on your journey towards growth.

I am a child, adolescent and family therapist and I am devoted to counseling children, adolescents, and their caregivers in individual and family therapy. I have a broad base of experience helping children and their families address emotional and behavioral issues, including issues associated with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, as well as environmental stresses such as bullying, relationship strain, divorce, single/blended families, and adoption.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in a combination of individual & family therapy for the treatment of children & teens who have depressive, anxiety, stressor-related, conduct, or substance use disorders, as well as other social/behavioral difficulties & grief/loss/separation/divorce. I utilize an integrative theoretical approach informed by developmental, family systems, biopsychosocial, & cognitive-behavioral frameworks, including "3rd wave" acceptance & mindfulness-based approaches. I further emphasize thorough clinical assessment & accurate diagnosis to inform appropriate & evidence-based treatment.

I believe the most powerful tool we can offer others is our ability to authentically, genuinely and completely listen. I have been privileged to work with many children, teens and adults and bear witness to their stories. It has been the most profound gift and I am grateful to have been trusted with the opportunity to hear them. My work as a clinician is grounded in listening. In establishing a safe, supportive and nurturing co-created environment. It is rooted in helping people find their voice and trust their own ability to change their lives. The power of being present and fully in the moment can transform lives.

To others, your teen or young adult appears to have it all. They are bright, accomplished, and successful. But beneath the surface they are stymied by anxiety that affects their schoolwork and relationships. Perhaps they struggle with focus or sleeping, seem angry or stressed, or avoid tasks or situations. They may worry about college acceptance or falling short of having the career and life they envision. Often they feel burdened by the weight of effort or achievements that they perceive as never good enough. They’re ready to make a change - they want to feel relaxed and confident again.

Your desire to change your life and find better ways of coping is a strength you may not yet realize you possess. As a clinical developmental psychologist, I can help you understand your current struggles in context, as part of your developmental journey and the systems of family and relationships surrounding you. In an emotionally safe and confidential environment, I will work with you to uncover the source of your challenges and find alternate coping strategies. I believe it is important to help you identify and use the many strengths you already possess as you work through your current difficulties.
