Blue Shield Therapists in Altoona, PA

Though gentle, there is a time to be direct and "cut to the chase" in discovering the exact nature of counseling issues, and developing a plan together to help you move forward in a positive way. Therapy is designed to be short term in nature.

I am an experienced and empathic marriage/family therapist that provides services to individuals, couples, and families for issues including relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, parent/child difficulties, co-parenting struggles, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and trauma/PTSD. I take pride in my ability to make people feel comfortable and safe. My office is a judgment-free space.

Searching for a counselor is a very intimate and vulnerable activity. Seeking help with relationship? Seeking help with managing anxiety? Seeking help with a history of trauma? Have you tried counseling before and it has not gone well? Have you thought about counseling before and never taken that step to make and attend an appointment? Attend counseling to help your healing journey move forward with someone who is not emotionally attached to any of the decisions you need to make. Journeys are a series of steps. I hope you find the courage to move forward in your journey. Soon adding Animal Assisted Therapy.
