Teletherapy for Mountain Top, PA

Sometimes it just seems like we are going through life without direction. Sometimes we have never really been able to express who we are to another person. Sometimes we just feel lost. Whatever the reason, know that you don’t have to go through each day feeling this way. Through counseling, you can learn what the next steps might be for you and how to manage your thoughts and emotions. At Mountaintop Counseling, we will be empathetic and honest. The therapeutic alliance can be such a powerful force to help you see your issues in a different light.

You have taken a brave and difficult first step by considering therapy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, increased self judgement, or going through a stressful life transition, I am here for you. I believe that therapy is a commitment and an opportunity to invest in and explore our true selves. I believe change flourishes once a person feels seen and understood. My priority is ensuring that you feel safe and comfortable so that we can work together to reach your goals. We all need a safe space to process and work toward our full potential.

Life isn't always easy, and everyone deals with and processes life's events in different ways. That's why it's especially important to me to individualize therapy for you and your specific needs. Clients that I work with may be struggling with managing all that is going on in their lives, including managing additional anxiety, stress and/or depression. Regardless of what you're dealing with, we will work together to develop a personalized plan for you so that you feel heard, safe, and confident as we move forward in our work together.

Let's invent together a way beyond your suffering or problematic repetitions. I use creative language play to release unconscious tensions manifesting as symptoms. In psychoanalysis you can elevate your agency by recognizing your own unfolding processes without the pressure to change. My attention will be focused on the linguistic and homophonous patterns of your unconscious as manifested in your speech, with the aim of distilling the suffering from your words and possibly producing a creative practice in its stead. To that end I will invite you to speak. I don't take insurance, but you may be able to use your OON benefits!

I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to help themselves, open to change and willing to have deep conversations about their challenges. I have special interest in working with individuals who have endured any type of trauma in their lifetime or those experiencing relationship or family issues. I strive to provide an environment that clients feel safe, supported, and validated. In turn, this will lead to a positive therapeutic relationship in which self-reflection and processing can take place.

I treat children, adolescents, and adults struggling with ADHD, trauma, anxiety, grief, and domestic violence.
