Couples Counseling Therapists in Doylestown, PA

Managing emotional stress related to personal issues, relationships, work, or school can frequently be an overwhelming challenge. As a psychologist with over twenty years of experience I have successfully helped many adults, adolescents, and couples experiencing problems with anxiety, depression, anger, emotional stress, and relationship problems. The goal of counseling is to reduce your emotional stress, help you to feel better, improve your relationships, and to help you develop successful strategies to effectively cope with life problems and challenges.

As a couple who no longer can communicate or connect, you often find yourself wondering how did this relationship get to this point. You are hurt, lonely, and more importantly scared of what is next. Every conversation ends up in a fight and more disconnect and confusion follows, bringing a sense of hopelessness and frustration. You both may still love each other and feel really bad for where you are, but nothing seems to work anymore. You never imagined your relationship to look like this, both of you are smart, hard-working, kind and caring individuals - where did this go wrong?

I help adult women and men who are grieving and feeling stuck, whether the loss comes from the death of a loved one (including beloved pets) or a living loss associated with dementia, addiction, chronic illness, divorce, infertility, or life transitions. I partner with you to help you explore how you are feeling, find new ways to cope and make a plan for moving forward as you are ready. There is no right way to grieve and no predictable timeline. It is important to me that during our time together, you feel supported, safe, and accepted. Through teletherapy or in-person appointments I can guide you through your difficult time.

It takes an immense amount of strength and courage to reach out and take an active role in making changes in your life. I meet my clients where they are and understand that you are the expert of your own life. Sometimes things can get so overwhelming that we need someone to help us navigate through the storm of emotions and through life’s challenges. I greatly value collaborative and strengths-based approaches as I feel that everyone possesses the ability to use those strengths to heal and evolve.

"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.

Have you ever felt, "Why is this happening to me, I don't know who I am anymore!" Constant worrying, low mood, relational challenges, and life transitions can wear you down. Simultaneously, navigating multiple cultural contexts can challenge your values and world views, often creating dissonance about who you are. Within the mindful space of therapy, I can help you examine the nature of your worries, the frequent blues, your existing thinking style, responses to people and the world around you. Through collaboration, I can offer alternative ways of thinking and responding to challenges, and help develop an effective coping toolkit.
