Therapists in Kunkletown, PA

Our struggles & pain thrive in isolation, you don't have to do this alone. My approach to therapy is gentle, affirming & collaborative. Guided by trauma-informed philosophy, I view therapy as a collaboration; a space where trust + healing are co-created. Working with a therapist requires vulnerability & courage, it taps into & tests our innate strengths. It will be challenging at times and our capacity for being challenged varies one session to the next, so my priority is to check-in & move at a pace that's accessible. This means sometimes we slow down, and other times, I'll offer a gentle nudge towards critical self-reflection.

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?

"It's a joy to be hidden but a disaster not to be found." - Winnicott. No matter how many times I hear this quote, I would like to hear it again. As a child, I remember playing the game hide-and-seek, having the delight of safety and the excitement of being hidden, followed quickly by a desire to be found and not left alone. We are the same kids, perhaps a little taller, hopefully, a little wiser. We still want our sanctuary, but we also have the desire to be free. I might be the right person to help you feel comfortable enough to be found.
