Therapists in Birdsboro, PA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), certified school counselor, and former special education teacher. I earned my PhD from the University of Georgia in the field of Counseling and Student Personnel Services. I believe that every person has unique gifts and amazing potential. I also believe that we all have the ability to grow into our best selves - even though that process can be really challenging sometimes. I enjoy using creative and self-expressive tools to help my clients (mostly older children, adolescents, and young adults) live more joyfully and authentically.

I deeply believe in the power of the family. When you are facing disconnection, fighting with your family, or struggling with your relationships, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless. But, there's so much to be hopeful for. At Thriving Families Center, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based therapy to help every member of your family heal and thrive. With an approach that focuses on helping each individual become their healthiest self and connect as a family unit, our team at Thriving Families can help you get where you need to be.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 20+ years of experience. I am interested in helping people find hope and direction in their lives. Life has been difficult for many during these past few years and many people have been isolated from the support they need. It can be additionally challenging if you have symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, or mania. Through Telehealth and weekly appointments, I am accessible and can help you from the comfort of your own home. See link, lower right side of screen, to schedule directly on my website.

The best way to describe my treatment approach: unconventional. There aren't very many life circumstances that I have not experienced; I do not judge. With me, you have a safe space to explore; a space to delve deep into the person you are now, how you became this person and who you wish to become. What is your dream life? Are your relationships fulfilling? What life do you want for your children? Why haven't you forgiven yourself? Lets talk; revisiting our pain is difficult but, necessary.

I am a passionate, client-centered, and skilled Licensed Professional Counselor. I strive to meet my clients wherever they happen to be in the moment of seeking therapy and help them get to where they want to be through using evidence-based interventions, encouragement, support, and empowerment. It is my privilege to offer help and hope to my clients who are facing challenges in their life’s journey. I strongly believe that clients are the expert on their own lives and they have the answers to their own questions. My role is to work with my clients to find those answers, and help them become the best version of themselves.

Most days your body feels like it is on high alert, waiting for something bad to happen. You have feelings of danger panic or dread, and it is making it more and more difficult to get through your day. Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, you tell yourself, but this nervousness and tension is starting to interfere in your day to day activities- work, family, friends and fun. You can’t concentrate and feel like you overthink everything. A restful night’s sleep seems to be a thing of the past, and you are worried it is impacting your physical health. As your irritability increases, you realize this is no way to live.

As a male therapist in the Stroudsburg and adjacent communities, I assist individuals with addressing the many challenges that persist in our environment, and that promote unexpected, overwhelming stress. I focus particularly on human behavior and the elements that we can control, to the extent that it allows the individual in need to hopefully reap the benefits of living a rewarding and fulfilling life. Historically, men are very resistant toward the counseling experience. I allay their anxiety by providing a friendly, non-judgmental setting for candid dialogue during the process. My practice is devoted to improving social relationships through healthy interventions at all times.

I believe the most powerful tool we can offer others is our ability to authentically, genuinely and completely listen. I have been privileged to work with many children, teens and adults and bear witness to their stories. It has been the most profound gift and I am grateful to have been trusted with the opportunity to hear them. My work as a clinician is grounded in listening. In establishing a safe, supportive and nurturing co-created environment. It is rooted in helping people find their voice and trust their own ability to change their lives. The power of being present and fully in the moment can transform lives.

I believe that a person moves in and out of their various life stages with the desire to learn and sometimes re-learn life lessons.

I work with adult couples struggling in their relationships, communication, and living styles over all stages of life. I work with children and teens in their social, emotional, educational, and family systems. I see adults attempting to clarify and reach life goals involving education, work, independence, esteem, and healthy relationships.
