Therapists in Doylestown, PA

I am a neuropsychologist primarily focused on diagnostic testing across the lifespan (birth to 100+). However, I also provide therapy to individuals and families surrounding a wide range of developmental, cognitive, psychiatric and behavioral challenges. My aim in both assessment and treatment is to offer a welcoming environment within which every patient has a safe space to share the narrative of their journey up to the present. This is done in a manner that honors the lens through which each of us sees the world, while also acknowledging the multiple systems with which we must often interface in order to meet our own needs.

Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with children/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in children/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.

Life can be overwhelming. There can be struggles; relationship issues, life transitions, the trauma of an accident or abuse. Sometimes talking with friends or family doesn't help. Talking with someone who can listen carefully, who is empathic and offers confidentiality can help. I believe it is this therapeutic relationship, based on a foundation of trust and respect that provides a safe place to take the risks that are necessary for change. I can help you recognize your internal strengths and positive qualities which will encourage you to see more possibilites for yourself.

My approach is very practical: I want each person to leave each session with at least one new understanding or way of looking at a issue and with at least one new tool for beginning to resolve that issue or situation. Most of us have the answers within us and can access them once we have some clarification, guidance and permission to do so. It must be working as most people come to me as a referral from other clients or from their physician. I am happy to answer questions so feel free to call.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes"..... Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a cage without a key? Are you caught in an unexpected or difficult situation which seems increasingly demanding? Maybe you find yourself caught up in thoughts, memories or behaviors which leave you feeling diminished or scared, and leave others feeling worried about you. Via psychotherapy, we can turn these experiences around by effecting changes in the way you experience yourself and your world.

Finding support and acceptance in the counseling relationship is so important for making strides in therapy. By exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a nurturing environment, you can feel better understood while working towards goals. I provide an individualized and evidenced-based approach that is adapted to your distinctive characteristics, needs, and cultural values. I will help you learn how to view distress differently so that you can react in a healthy manner and find more acceptance and balance. I hope to enrich the client's experience to gain insight, build skills, and improve relationships and emotional wellness.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I provide individual, couples and family therapy with great compassion for helping others find their way through life's challenges. Strongly convicted to the belief that all people possess the strength and ability to achieve their personal goals and greater success in their personal lives, I foster growth through listening, humor and warmth, ensuring that my clients feel heard and understood. By guiding my clients towards greater self-awareness and a better understanding of their personal desires, I then work to help my clients develop a path to achieve their goals.

I specialize in working with children, teens and individual adults who might be struggling with transitions in their lives. This may mean developmental changes, changes in the marital relationship or teens transitioning into adulthood. I work with families who are intact, separating or divorced parents. Understanding each family's unique dynamic and applying the appropriate therapeutic technique is my specialty.

I work with women and men who may be suffering due to stress, anxiety, depression or changes in life that have become overwhelming. My primary goal is to provide a safe, confidential space for clients who are ready to begin the process of healing. In this space we will develop a therapeutic relationship and begin to shift the mindset that has created suffering and move toward living with purpose and joy. Whether it be anxiety, postpartum symptoms, life transitions, or relationship problems, I am here to provide support and offer insight so that you can move forward.

I understand that it's not always easy to seek support. Maybe asking for help feels like you somehow failed. Admitting defeat. Or maybe the whole process of finding a therapist just feels too daunting. Whatever the case, you're here. And in taking this step you are demonstrating, in actuality, your resourcefulness and strength. You are showcasing your willingness to invest in yourself. Perhaps you're struggling with connecting with others, feeling burned out, stressed, or anxious, or can't seem to get through the day with ease. Let's explore the terrain together and work to reconnect to the aspects of life you value the most.

There is much talk these days about the power of being vulnerable as popularized by transformative figures such as Brené Brown. I believe it is important work to unearth what activates our vulnerability, shame, and fear, but what deeply excites me is what may happen beyond these revelations. What do we do next, armed with knowledge of our metaphorical Achilles' heel? How do we move forward with courage, optimism, fortitude, and resolve? This is where I bring a robust skill set and personal strengths to the table to work alongside you on your healing path.

It is truly a privilege to be invited into the lives of others during a therapy session. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my philosophy of psychological treatment is based upon an empathic and compassionate therapeutic rapport which I consider the primary vehicle to interpersonal understanding, change and healing. I utilize a multi-modal approach grounded in psychodynamic theory and cognitive behavioral technique.

Have you been experiencing feelings of sadness, fear, and/or anger? Are you feeling stuck and confused about which direction to take to tackle the challenges you are facing? Exploring therapy is an empowering first step to take charge of your life by deciding not to go it alone.

As a parent, you hear advice from everyone and have likely tried a number of strategies. But, at the heart of these struggles, you don't want to lose sight of the connection with your child and all of the positive aspects about them. You want an "inside-out" approach to maintain your child's spirit and personality while tackling outward behaviors caused by anxiety, depression, transitions, trauma or hyperactivity.
