Family Therapy in Langhorne, PA

***All clients are remote.*** Anxiety and depression affect so many of us every day. Spiraling thoughts, racing heartbeat, inability to sleep, feeling withdrawn at social events--these are just a few examples of how our anxiety gets in the way of our enjoyment and ability to live our lives. Anxiety and depression also increase our stress level and may prevent us from having healthy interactions with coworkers, friends, family members. Think of it this way: if our mind has us focused on the past or the future, how can we enjoy our present relationships??

As a licensed professional counselor, my focus is on strengthening family relationships, as well as helping individuals and couples balance their lives. Over the past ten years my experience in outpatient therapy has given me the opportunity to help families and individuals overcome difficulties in the areas of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioral issues and other family discourse.

TELEHEALTH (audio/video) SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE. Throughout our lives, we all experience challenges with sadness, worry and anger that can reach overwhelming levels. When the stress of these feelings negatively impacts daily functioning, relationships, work performance or physical health, it is time to learn what can be done differently. Through active listening, supporting, challenging and providing education about the interplay of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, I work collaboratively and non-judgmentally with my clients to understand themselves better to create a more satisfying life and stronger, more confident sense of self.

Having a safe place of support and connection to unload burdens goes a long way. It is exhausting to explore more about yourself, others, and your world when you are not feeling heard unconditionally. I am here to walk with you in a judgement-free, yet honest journey toward emotional safety. I am here whether you face anxiety, hard relationships, stress, or family tension.

Our lives are defined by our relationships. However, maintaining and nourishing these relationships can be a challenge. My goal as a therapist is to help families, individuals, and couples seeking to rejuvenate and rebuild relationships at all stages, whether you're experiencing marital difficulties, tensions with parenting, or managing relationships with elderly parents or children who have moved out of the house. In therapy sessions, I use a lighthearted touch and maintain a calm, safe environment that not only makes difficult moments tolerable but also encourages you to be reflective and self-aware.

If you're looking here, you've decided it's time to figure out something--maybe a difficult relationship, a chronic health problem or a cancer diagnosis. Perhaps you've been through some hard experiences in the past that you want to understand so they don't interfere with your present life. Or maybe you struggle with anxiety or depression. I believe the therapy relationship is collaborative. Our therapy can help you more deeply understand your own feelings and behaviors so you can better cope and be fulfilled in your life and relationships.

I believe therapy is most effective when there is a collaborative relationship based on trust, understanding, and growth. I will actively work with you to achieve your goals and resolve the problems that are interfering with your life and happiness. I provide comprehensive and individualized care to children, adolescents, and adults using an integrative approach that emphasizes elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems theory, and interpersonal therapy. My areas of expertise include: mood disorders and depression, anxiety and stress, relationship and family issues, adolescent development, Asperger's Syndrome, and ADHD.

I have worked with a variety of patient populations, including families, adolescents, young adults, and mid-life/older adults, dealing with various mental health concerns, but largely specializing in anxiety and mood disorders. I have extensive experience treating young adults, especially, having done clinical work in four different colleges in the Philadelphia area. I have also facilitated many young adult therapy groups over the years. Fundamentally, I believe that if people are able to learn to accept and like themselves and be less self-critical, many of their struggles with anxiety and depression will diminish significantly.

As licensed therapists, we have extensive experience working with individuals, families, and couples to build trusted therapeutic relationships. We provide strategies and support to help you recognize your strengths and explore your possibilities. Our approach is designed to make you feel comfortable, help you to overcome life's challenges, and ultimately to discover,(or rediscover) the life you desire.

I believe that all individuals are able to change but get stuck in patterns that do not serve them well due to daily stress. Changing these patterns is accomplished through interactive conversations and identifying why these patterns are not useful before creating new useful patterns. I work with couples on a variety of issues such as trust and betrayal, affairs, intimacy, grief, divorce, communication, addictions, and any of the myriad of relationship issues all couples experience. In addition, I work with children, youth and their families on a variety of relationship issues dealing with conflict, communication, parenting, defiance, adoption and respect.
