Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Exton, PA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has been working within the field for 10+ years. My work focuses on both assessment and treatment of toddlers, children, and teens who are experiencing difficulties with behavior, mood, development, and cognition. Though I tailor my treatment to the individual needs of each client, I most often incorporate behavioral and solution-focused techniques and work collaboratively with others in the child's life. Now in private practice, I previously worked for various schools and clinics in Chicago, IL, Nationwide Children' s Hospital in OH, and the National Institutes of Health in MD.

I work with clients ages 18 and older who experience anxiety, adjustment challenges, acute stress, and grief. While working within an integrated medical setting, I have also treated patients with co-morbid physical and mental health concerns, including medication adherence, smoking cessation, and sleep disturbances. I offer brief therapy for specific concerns or I can work with you on a more ongoing basis as well.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I aspire to counsel clients collaboratively towards their individualized goals using a solution focused approach. I have been working in the field since 2005 and have experience providing individual, family, and couples counseling. I enjoy working with all ages. I currently offer individual supervision for counselors working towards their LPC licensure. Supervisees will be accepted on a case by case basis. If there is enough interest, a supervision group may be formed.

As an Addiction Social Worker, I specialize in empowering individuals to recover from addictive behaviors via support and counseling. With an extensive working knowledge of diverse recovery approaches, including family recovery, I feel privileged to help individuals with addiction and their families create change and enjoy productive, meaningful lives. As research shows, addicted individuals often struggle with additional challenges, such as trauma, grief, and mental health disorders and I recognize that quality treatment must be comprehensive to include treatment of these issues.

You are not alone in this difficult and complicated journey through life. Life is challenging at times, and our bodies crave control in times of stress and anxiety. Depression can often deter us from living the life we have worked so hard for. I can walk you through this difficult time in your life and help you to explore your complicated relationship with areas such as anxiety, depression, body image, substance use, and sobriety. You’re taking the first step towards a healthier version of yourself! You will soon learn that you, yourself, are your best therapeutic tool to create the change you want to see in your life.

Teenagers are my specialty, especially those wanting nothing to do with counseling! (Download my article "Why Teens Hate Therapy" on website.) I help teens (children, too) who are anxious, angry, defiant, withdrawn, moody, self-destructive, inattentive, depressed, doing poorly in school, or having trouble with peers. I work as effectively with boys as with girls, and can help you decide whether the problems you're noticing are a part of "typical" teen behavior or a sign of something more serious. I also offer one session consultations for parents who have questions about their kids or new parenting approaches.

In a safe, comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a holistic, highly individualized approach tailored to your needs in order to help you attain personal growth and awareness. Together we will work to create an experience where you feel empowered and on a positive path to mind, body, and spiritual wellness. Through collaboration, you will be able to reconcile and understand your past loss/traumas/relationships, overcome your challenges/patterns to live in the present, and make changes so you can grow into your true potential.

Welcome! Typically, I work with clients who are struggling with traditional behavioral health concerns such as anxiety, depression/grief, stress, relationship concerns & life transitions.
