My role as a therapist is to not only help clients heal the inevitable relational wounds, but also to help them cultivate the resilience to live life with courage, compassion, and clarity.
I believe that an authentic, caring, and strong connection between therapist and client is essential to facilitate meaningful change and it is an honor to be invited to participate in another person’s transformational journey.

My areas of specialization include: Trauma/PTSD, dissociative disorders, anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, and relationship conflict.
It is not easy to take the first step to ask for help! My approach begins by listening and learning about you, because I believe that you are the expert on your own journey. I believe all people have the inherent strength to make positive life changes. Sometimes you just need to be empowered through compassionate support. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and respectful space for your therapeutic process.

We start out learning everything about you and your life.
I work with accomplished and high achieving people who are struggling in their current chapter of life. Your struggle could present as depression, grief, anxiety, rage... There are particular times in our life where if we haven't been living authentic lives, being able to admit what we want (or don't want), our true selves will still demand to be recognized and dealt with. The need to live authentically never goes away. If anything, the last thing you want is to near the end of your life and be full of regret or wishing you had done things differently.

What you've been through, are going through or will go through is a part of life and not personal.
Many of us experience recurring feelings of loss, being lost, not belonging, unshakable sadness, anxiety about future outcomes. We may have experienced trauma, tragedy, abuse as a child or as an adult, toxic relationships or substance abuse etc. If you are reading this you have survived it and I salute your resilience. However sometimes we struggle to feel healthy and wholesome again. The good news is that no feeling is FINAL. Feelings come and go like the weather based on the thoughts that spin around in our heads. The most efficient way to handle such uncomfortable feelings is to learn how to understand and manage our thoughts.

I've guided clients through the hurdles of social anxiety, imposter syndrome, life changes, navigating relationships, and struggles with asserting boundaries.
When we collaborate, I prioritize creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can authentically express yourself. In our sessions, it's solely about you—your thoughts, feelings, and needs. I listen attentively, asking thoughtful questions to help us uncover deeper insights and recognize patterns. Creativity, to me, transcends traditional forms; it's delving into your personal metaphors, deciphering symbols, and adapting flexible solutions. Together, we'll navigate your challenges with empathy and understanding, fostering growth and healing.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. This is a quote by Dale Carnegie. It is what we truly believe to be true. Hope is always present even when you can't see it. We pride ourselves in helping others see the hope and courage they have inside of them.

I am a licensed psychologist with decades of experience and extensive education/experience-not a professional counselor (LPC) with less education. My approach to therapy is goals-orientated approach and mindfulness using cognitive-behavioral therapy developing client empowerment. Counseling is for adults, age 18 and older and couples. I also provide testing for ACT 235 (Lethal Weapons certification) and ACT120 testing (the MMPI-2 exam and the Nelson-Denny Reading test) for applicants to Pennsylvania police academies, and testing for employment as police officers. I offer quick appointments and service.

My professional specialty lies at the intersection of grief, career, and mental health counseling. I welcome the opportunity to support clients facing challenges, decisions, or transitions that relate to any one of those areas, and thrive when working together to tackle more. Imagine a triangle with grief (coping with loss), career (exercising our strengths), and mental health (balance and contentment) concerns as its three points. I believe everyone has a triangle of different shapes and sizes with these same three points, and my counseling work strives to help clients reshape their triangles into the form that meets current needs.

Life Coaching Therapists

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
