Teletherapy for Yardley, PA

Reaching out to a professional takes courage. When struggles and unexpected challenges arise, it can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, OCD, and many other psychological and emotional symptoms. Sometimes stress leads to compulsive behaviors, including over indulging in alcohol and substance misuse. We encourage self-exploration into the patterns that keep individuals stuck, and prevent them from moving forward. We help client's capitalize on their strengths to focus on reaching their highest potential.

My goal as a therapist is to assist you in developing skills to help you thrive in life, feel grounded and a sense of peace and happiness. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable in openly sharing your perspectives, hopes, aspirations, fears, and treatment goals. I strive to not only listen, but to truly hear your messages and stories. Throughout my training I have worked with individuals, families and group therapy to children, teens and adults. I draw from modalities that are tailored to each individual, depending upon their concerns.

In any psychotherapy the relationship between the client and their therapist is of paramount importance. With that in mind, I prioritize getting to know each person that I work with in a meaningful way as we engage in the process of symptom reduction. I pride myself on being able to build comfortable discussion with adults, adolescents, and children and tailor communication to best fit each developmental stage. When working with families I ensure that each family members' concern is heard and work to join with each member while remaining focused on addressing the issue which brought them to treatment.

I work with emerging adults and adolescents trying to find their place in this world. If you or your child are struggling with self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, phobias, PTSD, OCD, or other stress disorders, I can help! I practice with a holistic view of therapy - using the mind, body, and soul as part of the therapeutic process. Specifically, I bring solution-focused goals to therapy for behavioral changes that are not beneficial to long-term well-being.

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.

Have you had a car accident and lost everything, including your career and physical health? Did you have to undergo multiple surgeries to fix your body because of the accident? Are you becoming more and more depressed and easily angry at home? Does your family think you need some help? Have you struggled with a lot of anxiety & OCD since you were young? Do you want to make changes to yourself so your husband and daughters can love again? I use a person-centered approach to build rapport with clients. I provide psychoeducation about what depression & anxiety are and how therapy works to help reduce the unknown feelings.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing psychotherapy with adults for over 11 years. I take a multimodal approach, tailoring treatment to each client's individual needs using various therapeutic techniques. Clients have told me that they feel comfortable with me due to my warmth and humor, which creates a feeling of acceptance and nonjudgment. I enjoy helping clients gain the skills to feel empowered in their lives. It is important to me that my clients see positive results and change through this process and feel supported throughout.

I treat clients with anxiety-based disorders, ranging from OCD or panic disorders to generalized anxiety. Additionally, general life stressors, such as client's enrolled in college, is an area that I feel competent in and passionate about. An ideal client would be aware of their challenges and motivated to do the work that therapy often requires. I enjoy working with clients who have goals of increasing their overall life satisfaction, whether through learning skills such as self-regulation techniques or goals of learning about symptoms to reduce these symptoms and increase overall life satisfaction.

My clients come in with varied concerns- cultural-specific relational challenges, parenting challenges, infidelity in marriage, coping with psychological disorders, codependency. They work on building resiliency, to overcome obstacles through application of skills that they learn in their therapeutic process with me. My clients move through their therapeutic journey empowering themselves with the ability to navigate through life challenges. Together we can work on helping you create healthier boundaries in life, gain work-personal life balance, overcome parenting challenges and have a more integrated mental health experience.

"Each of us is born with the potential to be the best version of ourselves. For most of us, along the way, life can get in the way.

Every individual is different, It is not easy to function with debilitating depression, anxiety or any behavioral health diagnosis. Just as one needs help and support with a medical diagnosis, we all need support with behavioral health diagnoses. I am here to offer support in a therapeutic, positive and holistic environment. To meet you where you are. To provide a judgement free zone. I use CBT techniques along with other interventions and tools that I have mastered over the years to meet the person where they are. Often taking the first step is the hardest part, but know that you are stronger just by being here and seeking help.

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. The clients I see also often present with attachment-based traumas, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and difficulties in their personal and work relationships.

I specialize in Substance Use, Anxiety, & Grief. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it's okay to seek support. Whether you're navigating through difficult emotions, facing challenges in relationships, or simply need someone to listen, know that you're not alone. My ideal client is someone who wants to begin their treatment journey. They might be nervous or scared to begin, but they have made their first step to at least try.

My ideal client is someone who comes to me with an open mind about treatment, is willing to challenge themselves, and works with me as a team to set and achieve their goals. I specifically enjoy working with clients experiencing anxiety/phobias, self-esteem/body image/disordered eating concerns, and stress. I would also love to work with clients experiencing sexual concerns. Ideal clients will be open and honest with me, as they understand our sessions are a safe and judgment-free space. They will have patience with themselves as we explore their concerns while also being willing to make changes for their benefit.
