Jungian Therapists in Ephrata, PA

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here, taking the steps to find what you need- whether that be to learn more about yourself, develop skills to cope with being a human in this difficult world, or to just be heard in a loving space. LGBTQIA+ affirming, intersectional feminist, sex-positive. I specialize in working with female and non-binary folks ages pre-adolescence into adulthood from all backgrounds and lifestyles. I am currently not accepting men or young children. I specialize in working through issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, interpersonal relationship struggles, and adjusting through life's hardships.

I currently work using Teletherapy in PA and FL. 6 children's openings have just become available! I have over 20 years of experience in both Psychotherapy and Board-Certified Music Therapy where I am trained in both Psychotherapeutic and Medical Models. I enjoy working with those individuals ages 2 through end of life. My life’s work as a teacher, medical worker, trainer, clinician and clinical supervisor have prepared me to treat various patients by providing psychotherapy to other professionals such as physicians, attorneys, bankers, front line medical and auxiliary workers. Helping others to heal is my passion.

I strive to create a safe, supportive environment to explore many of life's difficulties including complex trauma, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship/attachment issues, self-esteem, chronic illness, phobias, loss & grief, mood disorders, & spiritual issues. Using an integrated approach, I incorporate different styles and techniques tailored to each individual's needs supporting the whole person with a mind-body-spirit approach. Working together, we increase self-awareness through the use of breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness as we facilitate the process of psychological & emotional healing.

My primary role as a therapist is to provide a safe, genuine relationship - A place for you to be both the person you're afraid to show and the one you desire to be. Life has a tendency to tangle our needs and dreams, making it hard to access our abilities. I'm here to help coax out those threads of hope and strength to be crafted into your true narrative. You may have a vivid picture of your goals in seeking therapy, or simply a yearning for growth. Together we can make that vision manifest in your day to day life.

I work with those who have worries, sadness, stressors, trauma, or life changes. I will work with you towards a healthy life and relationships around you. I create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences and working towards growth.

Your concerns and challenges are important to me, but so are your personal stories and strengths. My priorities include active listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship while working in collaboration with clients in developing goals and finding solutions. Together, we will explore what barriers are in your way and which strengths will help you foster a satisfying life. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Messiah University with my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Cum Laude from Villanova University with a B.A. in Business Administration and leverage this unique combination for the benefit of my clients.

Are you looking to find greater meaning and purpose in life? As a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist, I specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transitions, be it divorce, new parenthood, or midlife changes or loss. Anxiety, depression, loss of vitality, disordered eating, and addictions are symptoms of a deeper issue whose root cause must be treated in order to fully heal. Together, we will work to understand and heal the issues that are impeding your well-being to bring you back to a state of balance. Additionally, I work with adult individuals struggling with symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression and trauma.

Ever feel run down from taking care of others? Tired to the point of exhaustion but afraid or unable to stop? Unsure how you ended up where you are but sure you don't want to be there anymore? It's an easy place to find ourselves. What isn't easy is getting out of it. I can help. For over 20 years I've been providing a confidential, nurturing environment that in which people can safely figure out who they are and what they’re about. Working together, we explore life’s questions, challenges and opportunities, as well as the stories we're living by and the ones we want to live by.

Feeling like you don't fit in anywhere? Are you in a transition? Would you like to have a skill set to deal with difficult situations? Have you thought about ways to control your addiction but can't seem to do it on your own ? Are you turned off by certain aspects of recovery programs? Would you like to develop a plan that will work specifically for you that's completely confidential? Are you an adoptee who is unsure of how to approach Adoptive family about searching for your roots ? Are you afraid of a second abandonment ? Is fear of abandonment repeated in all your relationships ? Have people called oyu co-dependent ?

I have been doing this work for 25 years. I have gained a lot of experience in that time. I draw from a lot of my own personal experience as well as all the people that I have worked with over the years. I have a background in Jungian Psychology. I feel that the human spirit is an important component to consider in therapy. People come to therapy because they are not happy. I see my job as helping my clients discover the blocks to their happiness and helping them to remove these blocks. The goal of therapy, I believe, is to become happy and to find joy, fulfillment and meaning in life.

I currently have a wait list. The best way to reach me is to contact me by email, providing some details about your specific need and wishes for therapy at this time. I have been in private practice since 1995, and provide psychotherapy in the State College, Pennsylvania area. My office is located just blocks away from the main campus of Penn State University. My approach multi-faceted, although my training is primarily Jungian, psychodynamic, and systems-based. The primary focus of my private practice is individual psychotherapy for adults, although I also work with couples and families.

You're tired of being "strong." Your old ways of coping no longer work, and your "symptoms" keep recurring despite your best efforts. Maybe you have recurring or chronic depression or anxiety, or are grieving a loss. You might be struggling with your creativity, or with your identity. You may suspect that your current struggles are rooted in childhood trauma, and yet, this insight hasn't led to much change... But what if it were true that the source of your suffering is also the key to positive, lasting transformation? I believe that it is, and I am honored to provide a safe space for you to heal, and to get to know your true self.

As a Jungian analyst, my approach focuses on one's unlived life as expressed continually through dreams, fantasies and other symbolic material. By actively engaging this material and understanding its symbolic message, as well as demonstrating its relevance for life lived now, suffering can be dramatically alleviated and a more meaningful, more balanced, and spiritually satisfying life becomes possible. Many consult me specifically for my Jungian orientation but many come also who are not familiar with this approach but who are referred for psychotherapy and profit from it because of its focus on healing and transformation.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here! I am a licensed professional counselor and music therapist with over 10 years' experience serving individuals and families in institutional, outpatient, and community settings. My experience includes work with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, anger-related concerns, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, chemical dependency and other addictive behaviors, motivational and self-esteem problems, as well as those with developmental delays.

I specialize in helping clients who are seeking a deeper connection to their own souls. Many of my clients struggle with a core sense of unworthiness and a tendency to prioritize others over themselves. They struggle with authenticity, self-esteem, feeling like a fraud, and setting boundaries due to early patterns learned in unhealthy family environments. This can result in feelings of isolation and being misunderstood. My approach is safe and supportive and is trauma-informed and spiritually integrative. I help creative, neurodivergent, highly sensitive, empathetic, and spiritually intuitive clients feel seen, heard, and affirmed.

If you are anxious, having difficulty with relationships, depression, self-esteem, or wrestling with an addiction & would like help, let's talk. I have been a psychotherapist for thirty years, and work with children, adolescents, and adults. How long ago did your issue begin? Many people don’t know the root cause of their problem. You may be suffering in silence not knowing where to turn. Counseling can provide tools for surviving the emotional fall out from COVID-19, building happy, healthy relationships, managing stress & anxiety, appreciating your strengths, & feeling good about yourself.

My focus is helping you to discover your own unique pathway through the hardships and challenges that you are currently facing. This path is almost impossible to find on your own when you feel lost, confused, overwhelmed, and in pain. At such times one naturally feels broken, defective, and defeated by troubles that you have tried your best to understand and overcome. In every struggle however there lies a hidden possibility for growth and development that can lead to a renewed sense of meaning and well being. My work is to listen carefully to you, to come to understand your unique life, and how what you are struggling with actually makes perfect sense. By understanding your life and your struggle we can find what is needed to navigate through to a renewed sense of life and meaning.

We all come into this world with a blank canvas. All of our experiences throughout our lives get added to it. Sometimes, like art, life gets messy, and there are too many layers to get through. I am here to walk alongside you as you scrape off and explore the layers in your life and learn to paint a clearer picture. You are the narrator of your own story. Every person has the ability to learn tools to adapt to the crazy changes in this world.
