Women's Issues Therapists in Altoona, PA

It is a privilege to be an Outpatient Therapist. My clients are the BEST teachers. I would like to teach my clients to be their own therapists and/or to re-parent their parts to function in this world at their highest ability. I completely and thoroughly appreciate and am grateful for every moment even the not so good ones (usually the lesson we need to learn). I want to help my clients learn happiness comes from within, happiness is their responsibility and we ALL deserve to be happy and to feel loved and accepted. The journey is the challenge and turning challenges into opportunities is the goal.

I help women experiencing the major transitions in life and can work with you to develop self-compassion and to find a better path forward. My specialties include reproductive mental health (pregnancy and postpartum support, infertility, reproductive grief and loss, early parenting support, and reproductive trauma), depression and anxiety, adjustment stress, and mood symptoms.

My goal as a therapist is to guide you to a place where life feels more manageable. Healing from difficult experiences or coping with overwhelming emotions can seem like an insurmountable task. The journey to health can be made much smoother by talking to someone who will actively listen and provide you with feedback. You and I can collaborate to find the best pathways to manage or alleviate your symptoms. You don’t have to go through it alone!
