Children, teenagers, and adults all want to feel in charge of their own lives; I believe in fostering your personal growth and change despite any obstacles you might encounter. As humans, we strive to feel capable, considered, content, centered, and connected to others. I will help you realize your inherent strengths; such as, encouraging parents to feel competent in their parenting strategies; guiding children and teens to respect and understand their parents’ values and expectations; bridging gaps in communication between couples and family members; and challenging you or your child to take new, manageable risks in your life.

As an individual and couples therapist and a parenting coach for over 25 years, I am very experienced at working with clients in crisis. Often a marriage is in trouble or just not enough. Parents are trying hard to be the best parents they can be, but not succeeding. Individuals can be stuck, overwhelmed, confused or feel hopeless. The habituated way we cope often causes us great suffering and prevents us from enjoying our lives.

You are unique! As such, the story you tell me about your life, the way YOU see it, is where we will begin. Using both traditional and mindfulness-based approaches, I as your mirror will help you decide what it is you want to explore about your life... about yourself. From there I'll guide you in the process of gently and compassionately finding ways to effect the changes that help you meet your goals and find the joy, peace, and happiness you deserve.

These are uncertain times. Do you worry that you're falling into an ever-deepening rut of fear, depression, and misery that is robbing you of inner peace and happiness? Do you find yourself ruminating about the future and unable to sleep restfully? I am a Licensed Psychologist in PA, Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, with over 40 years of experience. I trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at pioneer Dr. Aaron Beck's clinic at Penn, and have since trained many psychologists in these evidence-based methods. I am glad to discuss your unique needs and determine if I can help you.

For over 35 years, I have helped people of all ages to ease their burdens, face doubt and overcome emotional afflictions with warmth, empathy, and safety. I believe compassion is the cornerstone of a trusting relationship. More recently I have been guiding people to happier, more meaningful lives and relationships by focusing on their often unrealized strengths to facilitate change, have them live more consciously, and become who they want to be.

Many years ago I changed my life by pursuing a more fulfilling career. The concept that most inspired me was “Neuroplasticity”- The proven concept that we can change the way our mind works and in so doing experience greater well-being. Negative beliefs about ourselves are generally linked to negative things that we experienced in the past, or positive things that we needed to experience but unfortunately never did. By utilizing interventions that target "what happened" or "what needed to happen but didn't" we can increase of self-worth. Since thinking certain thoughts is habitual, we can learn to dismiss "unuseful thoughts".

My work has been devoted to helping people work through relationship issues. Often clients enter therapy feeling lonely, depressed, or anxious. I hope to help clients feel comfortable with therapy and to begin to learn more about their early experiences, which may have led to negative thoughts and/or difficulty in relationships. I utilize EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) to help clients understand how their underlying feelings may result in behaviors which contribute to unsatisfying relationships. My ultimate goal is to help clients change negative patterns and find more comfort and closeness in their lives.

Clients who seek counseling services here can expect a supportive environment where they can explore their emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential. They will discover someone with an open-minded approach to client wellness and who considers the client's work life, family traditions, personal identity, and cultural and spiritual beliefs.

For too long therapy has not been supportive of long-lasting change. Behavioral therapies are supportive in the moment but have fallen flat for many people. They come back to treatment in search of more support, not because the client or the therapist failed, but because treatment is insufficient. My goal is to help the client fully heal without needing to return to treatment. Whether you are going through a life transition, a traumatic experience or you have battled mental health struggles all your life, you will feel empowered as we work together to make improvements in your life!

My style is a relaxed conversation, my experience, is as follows; working within mother baby shelters over 25 years, Adolescents, Level of care (acute med surg) inpatient, First Responders, Law enforcement. Populations that I have worked with include areas of trauma, grief, depression, suicide, bullying, substance abuse, self esteem and includes Life Changes.

I have devoted my work life to helping people who have experienced abuse, neglect, and trauma and who are suffering from the consequences of that trauma.

I get it. You've been wanting to make a change for a while, but it's exhausting just to think about taking on another thing. It's a chore just to manage all the day to day stuff of work and family and making everything run smoothly; much less eating healthy, going to the gym, working on relationships, AND going to regular therapy sessions! It's a spiral that's so easy to get lost in and it's hard to find a foothold to steady yourself and find a way out. Therapy CAN offer that foothold; some guidance to help figure out how to feel peaceful and content with your life, and have the energy to do things that make you feel fulfilled.
