Hi there! If you are looking for a therapist who brings authenticity, empathy and advocacy- I think you're in the perfect place. I am a Licensed Social Worker who practices in Huntingdon County. I utilize art and play based interventions, as well as talk therapy. I work with children ages 3-18 years old, as well as adults who are navigating traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, and life transitions. Life can feel heavy when you've spent years surviving instead of feeling safe, connected and understood. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you don't have to carry everything alone.

I tell my clients that I "just try to be a dude," and allow them to determine what that means for themselves. I don't have answers, but I know how to ask you questions to get you to the answers you already have, and I trust you enough to know what it is you want in your life and how you are going to get it. If you're looking for someone who is willing to listen, offer insight, and provide you with an unbiased opinion, we would likely be a great match for one another!

I have been an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and CASSP Trainer, and have training in Parent Coordination and Mediation.
Does it feel like life keeps shifting beneath your feet—like just when you find your footing, something new throws you off balance? Maybe you're navigating a loss that has left you hollowed out, or anxiety that follows you from the moment you wake up. Perhaps your mood feels unpredictable, and you're not sure why some days feel impossibly heavy while others feel almost manageable. You're not broken—you're human, and you're carrying more than you should have to carry alone.

As a new parent, I am also interested in working with folks who are parents as well!
It's so important to me that I practice sensitivity and allow space for you to share your experience in a judgment-free zone. I am somewhat confrontational when appropriate (not in a scary way!) so that I may point out what I am noticing in the present moment, and I'm not afraid to use humor in session!

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.
