Therapists in East Petersburg, PA

I view therapy as an opportunity that clients create for self-exploration, healing, growth, and relationship enhancement. I strongly believe that at the heart of every successful therapeutic outcome is a trusting and supportive client-therapist relationship, and it is in that context that my clients are able to explore historical and developmental issues, and their overall sense of self.

At some point in our life we all experience a traumatic event. For some, these traumatic events (such as sexual abuse, a break-up, domestic violence, death of a loved one) are manageable and symptoms typically subside without disrupting any other areas of life. However, for others, such traumatic events take control over some or all areas of their life and lead to negative long-term consequences. As painful as the trauma is, you can still heal and grow after a traumatic event.

Are you tired of trying the same things over and over again and getting no where? Does time with your partner seem impossible, and bickering is the common way of communicating? Do you want to be the dream team and feel more like the bad news bears? Or are you a parent who is struggling to have conversations with your child/teen? We understand that the desire for a secure, solid relationship with effective communication can seem hopeless at times, but let us help you to breathe easy and create the change you want. We see you and hold hope for each of our clients. Change is possible.

I am open to working with clients from all walks of life, those who know what their goals are, and those who are uncertain about what they expect from therapy. My professional and lived experience helps me relate to clients who have difficulties adjusting to changes in life, as well as older adults, caregivers, and people of all ages struggling with family issues. A psychodynamic approach helps clients feel listened to and encouraged to develop their story, gain insight and self-awareness, & notice the connection between past events and current difficulties.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Are you seeking guidance in managing conflicts?

I am passionate about working with women and children, particularly in supporting clients with relational concerns, self-esteem issues, self-criticism and life transitions. I also assist clients who are navigating a spiritual awakening, the "dark night of the soul", and/or deconstructing belief systems. I consider myself compassionate, patient, and nonjudgmental, viewing each client as a whole person, with past experiences shaping their present moment. With my master's degree in Community and Trauma Counseling from Thomas Jefferson University, I employ an eclectic and holistic approach tailored to each client and their needs.
