Veterans Therapists in Glen Mills, PA

If you feel stuck, misunderstood, overwhelmed or not the best version of yourself hopefully we can get you on a path towards peace soon. I have both personal & clinical experience in grief, trauma, anxiety and depression. Transitions I help clients work through include; break up/divorce, medical issues, civilian life, parenthood, retirement, family changes, loss of loved one, career changes, abuse, or past traumas. I treat both clients who want quick results with goal directed therapy or collaborate with clients who are seeking a more long term in-depth relationship using a trauma informed lens.

I am a passionate therapist whose mission is to help you to achieve emotional wellness. As a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve practiced therapy for over 7 years in a variety of settings. My therapeutic treatment modalities include Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure and Solution Focused Brief Therapy with an understanding of choosing from eclectic, appropriate modalities to meet the client’s needs. I have experience treating a wide variety of mental health diagnoses including: anxiety, depression, trauma, and bipolar disorder and substance abuse.

Does life feel like a struggle? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and not like yourself. Everything is annoying. Your fuse is running a bit short. You don't even want to interact with other people because it's too much: too much energy, too much trying, too much struggle. You don't feel like anyone can understand you. Past memories continue to impact you and you don't know what else to do. Life feels like such a struggle. You want to be involved in life and happy. You want to laugh, smile, and enjoy life.

Transform your life. Stop the struggle. Manage your stress, grief, anxiety, depression, loneliness and fear. Discover love, hope, peace, and inner strengths and resources to achieve the life you desire and deserve.

I will teach you how to live fully in each moment, be unapologetically and authentically you, cope with stress more effectively, regulate your emotions, and improve your relationships with others. My ideal client is ready to work with me, as i support and guide them. I will work with you if you feel like you're doing mostly ok, and I will work with you if you feel like you are a mess and don't even know where to start. Healing is hard work, but it's so worthwhile and I'd love to help you get to the other side and be able to live your best life as your best, most authentic self.

I work with those experiencing mental health issues, trauma, and addictions. An ideal client would be someone who took suggestions and invested in their own healing. Their needs may include a mood disorder or behavior that they want to change. We would work on their thinking and how that impacts their behaviors. We would also look at their motivations and how to increase their motivations to make better decisions. The goal would be that the client would do what they learn in therapy while living their lives. They would no longer need me to help them through things and would be able to lean on their natural support.

My approach to therapy reflects my belief that individuals can recover from traumatic and/or stressful life experiences. I am a licensed psychologist with advanced training in neuropsychology. My training and service in the United States Air Force and employment at a Veteran Affairs Medical Center has provided me with extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and trauma-related anxiety disorders.

We are the expert of our lives, but at times we may need some additional support or guidance. While we often give priority to taking care of our physical health, I believe our mental and emotional health needs just as much attention.

My focus is assisting clients in finding their own solutions. My role is to help uncover strengths and protective factors while building the necessary coping skills required to move through life's most significant challenges. Trauma, grief, sadness, confusion, worry and addiction are the most common reasons why people reach out for help. After listening and identifying issues together, the therapeutic relationship will begin to build and in that safe and trusting space support will be created. We will then strategize and set goals, ultimately developing a road map for greater happiness, a peaceful mind and a healthier life.

Though my patients come from a variety of backgrounds, ages and lifestyles, they all have sleep problems. I help people with insomnia, chronic nightmares, perimenopausal sleep changes, restless sleep, and those who want to sleep without medication. I also help athletes who want to maximize their performance. My most successful patients want to sleep better and are willing to work for the changes they need.

Maya Angelou once said, "my mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." This is my hope for all clients and supervisees that enter the clinical relationship. As an Army Veteran, I understand situations can place a damper on our compassion, humor, and style but this does not have to be the new norm. Using an integrative approach, I focus on personal, psychological, and spiritual growth. I strive to assist clients with developing or regaining the power to shape their stories as a partner on their journey.

Sometimes, it’s about where to start. How will you talk to this stranger – or why would you? My goal is to provide a safe place to talk and to not be a stranger. I often do 15-minute phone chats so you can “pre-meet” me and get that initial edge out of the way. I want to help you to (re)discover your own voice, to understand your reactions, to recover a more daring, loving self – someone who is more and not less. I won’t be a stranger for long because I’ve journeyed on similar paths.
