Blue Shield Therapists in Luzerne County, PA
When others can’t control you, they try to control what others think about you. Many people feel stuck in toxic cycles—trapped by self-doubt, anxiety, or relationships that drain them. They strive for perfection, fearing they’ll never be enough, or stay silent to avoid conflict. They’re people-pleasers, overthinkers, and caught in patterns of manipulation, constantly questioning themselves instead of trusting their instincts. They long for confidence, boundaries, and the freedom to live life on their own terms but feel paralyzed by fear and uncertainty. I help them break free, recognize their worth, and step into their power.

You are not alone. Seeking help is the first step to change. Establishing Trust between client and counselor is the most important step in the therapeutic process. My goal as the counselor is to establish trust and provide a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns to a professional unbiased listener. I can teach you the tools to start feeling better and/or accept what you cannot change and regain peace and comfort and a sense of purpose despite problem areas.

Your pain deserves space to breathe and be heard. Your authentic self deserves tending to. Being human is hard work. In the limited time we exist, we have countless choices to make as we shape the direction and purpose of our lives. In our struggles, perhaps we may feel phony, unsure of ourself, pressured to hide or distort our feelings and thoughts. We may feel paralyzed when trying to make the “right” decisions. We may feel deeply isolated, unable to sustain relationships where we are cherished exactly as we are. We may be haunted by past traumas and unable to forgive. Or we may wonder about our life's meaning.

Taking that first step towards change can be the hardest. Finding someone who makes you feel heard and understood can be intimidating as well. Part of why I chose this field is to make connections with others, and help those people make the changes they desire in their lives.
