French Therapists in Duncansville, PA

Relationships can be hard. They can be a source of tremendous joy and excruciating pain, sometimes both at the same time. They can end before we are ready or they can last longer than we would have wanted. I believe that healthy interpersonal relationships are an important part of mental health and that the most important relationship, the one that makes all the other ones possible, is the one we have with our own self. Sometimes it can be hard to figure it out all on your own which is where therapy can help. It is another relationship after all, albeit very different from the others.

I support individuals and families on their paths towards greater self-understanding, acceptance and awareness. I emphasize resilience as advocated by schools of positive psychology, mindfulness and a wellness model of therapy. I work closely with clients to identify and unravel the distortions in their perception and communication which interfere with healthy relationships and a healthy sense of self.

The life you are living might not feel like the life you want. Do you feel controlled by your emotions instead of being in control of them? Do you feel like a prisoner of your circumstances? Are you overwhelmed and frustrated but can't find a way out? As soon as you deal with one thing, something else would happen and just bring you down. All this would leave you feeling emotionally, mentally, and spiritually depleted. Sounds familiar?
