Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Warrington, PA

I'm a licensed clinical social worker that works with young adults and adults but I specialize in working with children (8+) and adolescents. My clients are of diverse populations that are experiencing challenges with education/school, peer relationships, ADHD, depression, anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, mood disorders, and/or trauma. Their goals include being less anxious, develop a toolbox of healthy coping strategies, improve communication and relationships, be more independent, and advocate for themselves.

Although most of my experience has been with teens and young adults, I am open to meeting with clients of all ages and genders. Before becoming a social worker, I was a high school teacher for 23 years and worked as a social worker in a therapeutic school. I am particularly interested in supporting adoptees, sexual assault survivors, young people with learning differences, and LGBTQ+ youth as they heal from loss or trauma, discover their strengths, and construct an authentic identity. I have also run support groups for adoptees, trans/nonbinary teens, and parents of TGN teens.

I focus on identification, awareness, healing, empowerment, and resolution of daily life struggles in a safe, supportive environment. I encourage use of verbal and non-verbal means of self expression as well as identification of strategies of self development and formulating healthy new perceptions and interventions to heal for positive change. My focus is working with adolescents with emotional and behavioral health needs and their families.

I can help you cope with multiple stressors in your life as you manage the symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders. If you are looking for guidance and support, then we would be a great match.

My ideal client struggles with Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Trauma, and/or related conditions. They are motivated for change or at least open to the possibility of change. They are open to feedback and willing to lean into the therapeutic process. They do not need to have clear goals for the therapeutic process right away but are willing to work to identify these goals in the treatment process. They would want to improve their life in some way, or even just their relationship with themselves.

My ideal client is someone who have or is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem and seek to make positive changes in their life. My ideal client is motivated and willing to explore childhood to adulthood experiences while identifying their triggers or stressors. They want to learn different healthy coping skills and tools that will help them maintain their goal to be resilient despite life's unpredictable circumstances, able to regulate their emotions, and improve their self-esteem.

I specialize in working with adults, 18+, who have experienced trauma as a child and/or adult. I also focus on treating women struggling with Depression, Relationship Issues, Grief, Narcissistic Abuse, and Complex Life Issues. I am gender affirming, and work with people of color from different ethnic/cultural and religious backgrounds. I believe that treatment should be personalized to each person’s unique needs and situation, therefore I use a variety of treatment modalities, including Mindfulness and EMDR.

I mainly work with attachment-based traumas, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and difficulties in personal and work relationships. I enjoy working with clients who want to get to the root of their struggles. These clients would like to gain insight into their symptoms, something difficult that has happened to them or to explore cycles and patterns that aren’t serving them. The clients I see often have attended therapy in the past.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

The fact that you’re reading this means that you're ready to feel better. It takes courage to reach out to a therapist and means that you have hope that things can be better.

I have been treating women for over 25 years who are experiencing feelings of depression and/or anxiety that sometimes coincide with lifestyle transitions, such as pregnancy, new motherhood, postpartum depression, miscarriage, infertility, menopause, relationship issues, divorce, PMS or returning to the work force. I work as a partnership in helping each woman to resolve issues in her life, in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I feel that it's very important that your voice be heard. I can help you to find the relief that you deserve. I can help you feel like your "old self" again.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in life; trapped in the same repetitive patterns, problems and relationships over and over as you try to navigate your inner emotional world? Do you feel discouraged and struggle to make the necessary changes to promote healing? We all need to be heard and understood; to have more fulfilling relationships, joy, satisfaction and happiness within ourselves and in our lives. Imagine, for a moment, that you are experiencing yourself the way you are meant to feel. You now have more joy, more compassion, more self-understanding, more fulfilling relationships, more connection with a sense of balance in your life.

Sadness, anger and anxiety are universal experiences; it's when we can't move through them that they begin to define our lives. Getting stuck in a cycle of negative thought and feeling keeps us from reaching our potential. It doesn’t have to feel "strange" sitting down and talking to someone about your life, your feelings and your problems. This Must Be The Place (A Life Counseling Experience) is a private therapy practice, built in the spirit of offering a casual, comfortable, non-clinical setting for people to develop a resource in gaining perspective on their lives, moods and relationships.

Life can be challenging and it is our job to provide you with the tools to cope well with whatever difficulties/demands life may present to you. We have appointments available as of April 2024. At Evergreen Counseling & Wellness, we tailor therapy to your needs and strengths to help you achieve realistic goals. We want you to feel you can handle whatever is thrown your way. We believe that establishing a healthy, supportive therapeutic relationship & providing an environment where you feel safe and able to openly express yourself without feeling judged is critical to heal and grow.

The family is the foundation upon which we develop our understanding of how to interact and form relationships with people. The family is where we develop our first understanding of how to deal with various emotions such as anger, love, happiness, and sadness. It is also where we learn to manage conflict. I believe in taking the strengths and values that already exist within a family and using them to enhance family relationships and Inspire its members to live a healthier and happier life.

Within each of us is a unique essence that is striving to find its voice and grow in a positive and productive direction. For some of us, however, blocks develop that prevent us from growing toward our true potential and, essentially, we become stuck. The role of therapy was designed to help us uncover, understand, and move beyond these obstacles to once again continue our growth. As your therapist, we will work together exploring and eliminating those blockages preventing you from the enjoyment of a harmonious life.

I am here to assist you in realizing your potential. Everyone has tough transitions throughout life and I am experienced at maximizing your coping skills to get you to the other side.
