Therapists in Bucks County, PA

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do you or your child have ADHD or attachment issues? As a therapist, I specialize in working with adolescents and emerging adults, and consider it a gift to be part of someone's life journey. Therapy is build on trust, and my role is to help you feel confident that you have the capability to be resilient, happy, valued, and loved.

I believe that if we want a healthy, balanced relationship with others, we must first develop and maintain a healthy, balanced relationship with ourselves. As a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Psychotherapist, Life Coach and Certified Hypnotherapist, I work with individuals, couples and families of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I use an eclectic approach, individualizing each session to the specific needs of each client. In a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment, my clients are encouraged to share openly as we work through problems and find solutions, so they can feel better about themselves, enrich their relationships and enhance their lives.

My ideal client would be someone motivated to engage in motivational interviewing and change work.

The inevitable challenges inherent to the human condition can lead us to question what we know about ourselves and our capacity to live the life we want. Contending with these challenges can be a lonely and sometimes overwhelming process.

Sadness, anger and anxiety are universal experiences; it's when we can't move through them that they begin to define our lives. Getting stuck in a cycle of negative thought and feeling keeps us from reaching our potential. It doesn’t have to feel "strange" sitting down and talking to someone about your life, your feelings and your problems. This Must Be The Place (A Life Counseling Experience) is a private therapy practice, built in the spirit of offering a casual, comfortable, non-clinical setting for people to develop a resource in gaining perspective on their lives, moods and relationships.

Being in private practice for 23 years as a psychotherapist/coach my areas of expertise include: pre/postpartum depression adjustment support, blended family adjustment, parenting support, co-dependency, panic/anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and depression. In addition to my areas of expertise; I have been a speaker, conducted groups and seminars on career/education, workplace stress, addictions, emotional/stress eating, postpartum depression, and relationships.

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.

Establishing a trusting relationship and environment that is warm and supportive where clients feel safe and motivated to engage in their therapeutic journey is my essential goal. My approach to therapy is formulated by the uniqueness of the person along with the uniqueness of the environmental and familial systems within which they have developed. Over the past 23 years I have worked with individuals, groups, families, and couples and have treated several mental and emotional health issues. Some of these issues include: Depression, Anxiety, Grief, ADHD, Self-Esteem, Life Transitions, Relationship/Family, and Attachment.

It is my objective to support an individual in the process of focusing on health and well-being to embrace personal strength and empowerment. It is through the therapeutic process we will identify your capacity, with your own unique resourcefulness and resiliency, to assemble and promote positive change in daily life.

Having a safe place of support and connection to unload burdens goes a long way.

TEENS: I help teens (and young adults), beginning at age 14 years, who are feeling overwhelmed by depression or anxiety and the isolation that it brings. Through a combination of talk therapy and practical skill-building, we'll work together to resolve their burdens and develop a solution for overcoming their challenges. Working through the hard stuff (with a healthy dose of laughter to get through the pain) leads them to a place of peace and relief. Finally, they're able to find joy in being themselves.

I have been working in mental health and substance abuse for over 40 years. I can help those who want a well seasoned professional who can help you identify obstacles in your life and how best to overcome them.
