Grief Therapists in Lansdale, PA

Life today is very complex and difficult. Individuals dealing with life challenges and responsibilities,do experience life events ( death , divorce, etc.) they were not prepared for that cause them to get stuck. I offer counseling to assist individuals and families in coping with these life experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches the individual or family how to become healthier and happier by modifying thought and behavior patterns. Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT), is available in conjunction with CBT. I was trained and certified by Dr. Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters, to offer PLRT.

My practice serves individuals who are struggling with various issues such as relationships, self-esteem, drugs and alcohol bullying, anger management, grief and loss and other mental health hurdles. I help clients who feel that their life is spiraling out of control, gain self discipline, and develop coping strategies, which ultimately leads them to inner peace. As a young teen, I know it must be difficult handling bullying whether it is online or in person. It is crucial providing a safe place to discuss sensitive matters and that is why we are conducting weekly groups for teens so that they know that they are not alone.

I developed a 'whole brain' creative arts therapy to help clients find the words and images that can express their thoughts and emotions. This enables clients to 'see' how their negative behaviors originally developed as a way to cope with high levels of interpersonal stress. The BrainsmART process empowers clients with strategies that organize their emotions as they discharge past traumas from their body and mind. Once emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-'view' the memories and beliefs and re-route their self-destructive behaviors. The process works creatively to redirect addictive urges into self-empowering action. Call me at 267.261.9987

I've been a clinical psychologist for 34 years, giving clients the support and strategies they need to deal with anxiety, depression, negative self-esteem, stress management, organizational skills, motivation, trauma and tragedy, and grief and loss .

Your heart is aching. The past few months have felt like one crushing defeat after another, but this recent loss has taken the pain to a whole new level. The depths of it are becoming deeper and more concerning than you ever imagined. You try so hard to be that "glass-half-full" kind of thinker, but your mind just doesn't seem capable. It just stays parked in defeat, no matter how often you try to talk yourself out of it. Will life ever feel normal or happy again? You now understand grief in ways you never wish you did, yet have no idea what to do now that you are here.

Life can be challenging. You may even describe it as overwhelming. But you are not alone. We have all been there. Anyone that tells you otherwise is not speaking the truth. Change is possible and attainable with the proper support, guidance, hope and most of all, healing. I am a board certified clinical licensed social worker.

Sometimes when we struggle, we need help finding the strategies to move forward. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with anxiety, worry, loss or sadness. Maybe you are feeling the pressure to be perfect; in your job, as a parent, friend or even when you think about your appearance. What you seek is relief from this constant pressure. Therapy offers you the opportunity to explore where you are, and then take steps, at your own pace, to establish a healthy balance. You don't have to go this alone. In therapy we will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and together, with compassion, help you find the balance you strive to find.
