Therapists in Dublin, PA

Life is full of challenges that can make or break us. If you’re feeling stuck, we can work together to turn adversity into opportunity for growth, change, and healing. Our thoughts greatly influence the reality we experience and can perpetuate the cycle of negative thinking when distorted by depression and anxiety. We will explore obstacles holding you back from finding contentment, identify goals to promote the change you want to see in yourself, and build upon strengths you naturally possess to develop resiliency for the future.

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.

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.

We currently are offering virtual client sessions and in person sessions. I believe that every individual has the capacity to develop a full life based on healthy communication and utilizing their strengths. Having a space where you can speak honestly and openly without judgement is crucial to healing. I use a strength based, emotion focused treatment array to help you be the best you can be! I have a passion for working with clients processing trauma. My second passion is couples counseling. I base my couples work on methods from The Couples Institute, which is a worldwide model for extensive couples' therapy.

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.

With a compassionate and sensitive approach to the individuals journey in life, we make it a priority to fully understand the nature of our clients concerns and experiences. Our hope is that our clients feel completely heard and develop a sense of trust in the therapy process.

Lets face it, life happens and feeling "crazy," is often the result of the situations we find outselves in! In my practice I focus on treating individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and relationship difficulties, among other issues that impact the way we function in our daily lives. I approach treatment by understanding what events led to the "craziness" and work with individuals to adjust the ways in which they view and respond to situations contributing to the madness. As a result, clients often develop a view of themselves, others, and the future that is more functional.

You have dealt with anxiety and negative thoughts and no longer want these issues to hold you back.

Welcome to PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES. Human beings often struggle with unpleasant thoughts, feelings and sensations that can seem almost unbearable and impact our behaviors and relationships.

We are currently living in very uncertain times. Within this uncertainty, it is important to find a relationship that will help you sustain important relationships.

When we focus on increasing function my clients find their lives to be more workable and enjoyable.
