Associate Professional Counselor, MCMHC, LAPC
Harrison City, PA 15636
Many of the men I work with are successful on the outside but privately overwhelmed. They’re disciplined, intelligent, and used to pushing through—yet something in their system isn’t resetting the way it used to. They feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer match the life they’re trying to build. They want more than symptom relief; they want meaningful, lasting change that helps them feel steady, present, and in control again.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

Harrison City, PA 15636
My ideal clients are people of any age who have experienced a difficulty in their childhood. They are now navigating big emotions, neurodiversity, identity questions, or behaviors that others label as “defiant.” They could also be nervous, withdrawn, refusing to go to school, or having outbursts. People are often exhausted, confused, and desperate for real support. Goals to consider are to: increase communication, reconnect with others, stabilize the home environment, and help build trust, emotional insight, and/or internal control. They’re seeking a therapist who "gets it," someone who sees beyond the behavior.

You could also be eligible for accommodations at work or school. I specialize in diagnosing and treating adults and teens.

You know something isn’t working, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Maybe relationships feel harder than they should, anxiety is running the show, or old wounds keep resurfacing in ways you don’t expect. You’ve tried to push through, to analyze, to control the discomfort—but that hasn’t brought the relief you were hoping for. I help people who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, untangling the past so they can show up differently in the present.

You don’t have to hold it all together. If you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or untethered in a world that’s constantly shifting, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are Gen Z, Millennials, or Xennials who are trying to make meaning in chaotic times—queer, creative, neurodivergent, or otherwise nonconforming folks who are exhausted by trying to fit into systems that don’t fit them. You might be longing for clarity in who you are, steadiness in your relationships, or relief from that low hum of existential dread. You move through your day with the ache of being awake to a world in collapse and still wanting to live fully.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
