Therapists in New Oxford, PA

Everyone has a story and it is my privilege to be invited into yours. My unique blend of warmth and tenacity set me apart as a therapist and allow me to work with clients towards meaningful change. I value the relationships I form with clients and my goal is to make everyone I work with feel safe, respected and accepted for who they are. My practice is shaped by a combination of formal education and hands-on experience, including training in psychoanalysis, couples counseling, ExRP, play therapy and family therapy.

Your inner world is vulnerably private yet offers invaluable insight. Everyone deserves a safe space to freely explore themselves without judgement. I help my clients process past experiences, cultivate present moment awareness, and use this expertise to discover the next best steps toward a more fulfilling future. As a believer that the client is the expert on their own life, I trust each client can find the answers they need when given the space and support to discover them.

Are you feeling stressed or struggling emotionally? Are you going through significant life transitions? Experiencing losses? Feeling unhappy with yourself or in your relationships? Is your child or adolescent facing challenges? There is no doubt about it, we can find ourselves in difficult places as we journey through life. Most all of us have to face and go through tough times. As a seasoned therapist who has been practicing for more than 25 years, I know that life can throw us curveballs.

Everybody has a story worth telling. I offer a safe space for you to share that story. Unfortunately, sometimes what has happened in your life or younger years can strongly affect your present moods and behaviors. I have a trauma-focused approach to therapy and am an EMDR Certified Therapist through EMDR International Association. I have extensive experience working with elderly people and people with chronic and or terminal illnesses. I enjoy working with a culturally diverse client population and am supportive of the LGBTQ community.
