Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Cedars, PA

With a belief that our inner obstacles create our outer obstacles, the goal of my practice is to help you to understand and remove those obstacles from your life. I will be there to support you as we work together to understand the relationship that you have with yourself as well as the relationship patterns that you have with other people. It is my hope that I can help you with self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-love.

Sometimes it feels like the world just isn't made for us and no matter what we try, we can't seem to find a way around those things that prevent us from getting our needs met. I meet people where they are and attempt to take an outside perspective in helping them meet their goals as we define together. I also try to fully understand a person as it includes where they came from, decisions made through life, and influences outside of their control. I want to help you build the life you want with your own strength.

No matter what events life is throwing your way, I'm here to help you process through any difficult thoughts and emotions that may arise. We can get to the root of the underlying issues and the patterns at hand, so you can navigate these moments with more confidence and understanding in the future.

My clinical philosophy can be captured by the following words… It’s not just in your head, it’s in your brain. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that much of the ongoing emotional and psychological distress we carry throughout life is rooted in traumatic underpinnings, which directly affects the central nervous system. In helping clients understand the neurological reasons behind their distress, and integrating techniques to support rewiring for well-being, individuals become more empowered and confident to creatively assume control for how they want to live their lives.

Experiencing deep pain and suffering can be a scary, lonely place to be. Regardless of the one's experiences and circumstances, I am here to clinically and professionally, yet warmly with compassion and genuineness, help through these times. I love what I do have been professionally helping people through tough times for over 25 years.

Shame dies when stories are told in safe places. Your story matters. Experiencing trauma can make us feel alone, ashamed, & burdened with self-doubt. When you take the brave step toward therapy and healing, you no longer have to do that alone. I work to hold a safe space so that each person who comes to me is able to openly share their story while learning how to access the tools to heal all wounds that they carry. I use Internal Family Systems as an approach to work on the root of pain and to help clients heal. I am certified in DBT therapy to help individuals regulate their emotions and build skills to navigate relationships.

I work well with clients that want to add to their own improvement and are motivated to change. I want to help with this need, or their want to improve. I want to help how you feel, and make you feel more positive. I am a positive, caring, compassionate person and i I listen carefully, and want to help.

If you had a magic wand, how would your life be different? Would your child’s anxiety, fear, and struggles vanish? Could parenting become easy and conflict-free? When your child or adolescent struggles with behavioral, emotional, and trauma issues, it affects the whole family and makes you feel powerless and overwhelmed. Welcome to Invictus Counseling! I work with children, teens, and parents to address behaviors, emotions, and trauma and develop goals to overcome those obstacles. There’s no magic wand – but there is a way to help, to nurture, and to improve.

I think that therapy doesn’t have to be complicated. As a client you can expect to highlight your strengths, speak to your individual experience in a non-judgmental environment, receive unconditional support from someone you trust, and learn new ways to lessen your pain. Therapy is a wonderfully transformative venture, where two people collaborate on how to navigate the human experience. My approach is strengths-based, person-first, and multifaceted to meet your specific needs.

My passion is working with individuals who are motivated to change to live a happy and more balanced life. I love working with diverse cultures and my lived experiences have helped shape my understanding of others. I consider family dynamics and their impact on the individual and am willing to work with an individual, couple or the family to help improve communication and conflict resolution strategies. Working with the needs of my clients gives me the ability to shift my approach. Life transitions are difficult. I am here to listen to your story and give you a safe space to create lasting change.

I believe in treating clients as co-creators in their therapeutic process. I strive to create an affirming, non-judgemental, and empathetic environment for my clients to express themselves authentically. The therapeutic process is one in which I will utilize cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices to facilitate processing, feeling, and connecting to oneself and emotions. My preferred populations are adolescents 14-18, transitional adults 19-25, and adults. I specialize in Autism Spectrum, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, trauma-related disorders,&anxiety disorders,

I specialize in Adolescent treatment and Women's trauma. I have been working in mental health and addictions with adolescents and adults for over twelve years. I have experience in outpatient and residential settings and I'm skilled to work with complex issues. When someone asks me what I do, I have a difficult time boiling it down. More recently, I've come to realize that I help individuals and families in crisis. I work with the whole family, either in or out of my office and I help clients address core issues standing in the way of health, success and happiness.

I have enjoyed clinical social work with adolescents and adults for about 25 years in a variety of settings. I will support your journey of self discovery and growth with curiosity and humility coupled with training and experience. Attachment theory, science, attention to the intersection of multiple identities with emphasis on the relationship between myself and clients grounds my practice. I believe healing occurs in relationships and requires compassion and curiosity. I create a warm, safe, supportive environment to unpack and explore your feelings, experiences and needs to create the live you want and deserve. LCSW available.
