Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Camp Hill, PA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with school aged youth and adults. My passion is working with children and adolescents with a specific focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. I have seen this method work time and time again for those struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, somatic disorders, familial conflict, and so much more. CBT can be applied in many situations and its effects are more profound when it can include a caregiver or family member. Of course, for younger children (7 and younger), methods will vary and likely include the caregiver.

Therapy can help you uncover things that keep you stuck and help you gain insight into yourself.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Private Practice providing outpatient therapy for pre-teens, teens, and adults. 13 years ago a lifelong dream of becoming a therapist was realized and prior to my role as a therapist, I put my passion to work in developing community programs that continue to support victims of crime, homelessness, and grieving families and their children. As a therapist, I have experience in treating children, adolescents, and adults with diverse backgrounds with a wide range of concerns.

My counseling practice focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication within families, couples and individuals.

If you're feeling stuck and frustrated that you can't seem to manage your life the way you would like, it may be time to seek help. Many people struggle and suffer unnecessarily, when all they need is a fresh perspective, a nudge in the right direction, or a new skill or two to help them reach their goals. With a focus on acceptance and empowerment, my goal in working with you will be to help you understand and accept where you are and how you got there, then establish goals for moving toward the life you desire.

Thank you for visiting my page. I know it can be difficult to reach out for professional support when life is feeling out of control or one is feeling stuck. Feeling sad or anxious can be part of life that sometimes one does not have the tools to overcome. I want to offer you a safe harbor to be able to explore your negative thoughts and feelings you are experiencing. Through a collaborative effort we will work to relieve feelings of being stuck and improve your over all wellbeing.

I strive daily to take a compassionate approach while working with individuals and families, adolescents, and adults. I have experience collaborating in treatment with individuals with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and trauma and I work with individuals who are 17 years and older. I believe a significant part of the therapeutic process is building a therapeutic relationship with my client. Being able to practice this healthy relationship in therapy can help to improve other relationships outside of therapy.

I believe that maintaining and focusing on our mental health should be as normal as attending to our physical health, and just as important. Therapy is a way to work through the challenges of life, understand ourselves more fully, and work towards a place of wellness unique to each person. Therefore, I use multiple evidence-based modalities, coupled with a therapeutic style that is impartial, non-judgmental, and encouraging, specific to each person’s needs. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults of all stages of life. I am passionate about working with women's issues & also enjoy working through spiritual/faith issues.

I have a deep belief that life should be enjoyed. There are many things that can create limits in life, and whether it is our own fault, or someone else's, these limits do not have to keep us from enjoying life. I have extensive work with people who have struggled with drug and alcohol addictions, sexual addictions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as parenting and adoption concerns. I have seen clients achieve balance in life, greater self-awareness, and overcome ways of thinking and behavior that have limited life's enjoyment and success.
