Therapists in Pipersville, PA

Loss of someone or something important to you, or a scary diagnosis often come with a snowball of other losses/changes. Dreams and goals may feel shattered. Old routines get interrupted. Life feels meaningless or has taken on a different meaning. You may not relate as well to friends and family. You might wonder “who am I now?," or feel you are only seen as a “widow(er),” “bereaved parent,” “cancer patient,” “unemployed," or “someone who is not fun to be around anymore”. These losses bring heartache—and you need someone who will listen, validate, and understand your experience.

I have a true passion for working with adults and adolescents who are suffering from an inability to form healthy relationships with their loved ones. My office offers a warm setting for people of all ages to feel safe and explore their "child within". I use play and art therapy as well as evidenced based techniques to empower parents and help them to connect with their child and unlock their full potential. I love helping families grow with healthy coping skills. I also truly enjoy working with adults to explore their own past and how it affects their relationships today.

I have over 20 years experience helping adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and communication issues. My approach is very straight forward and down to earth. I believe adolescents seek a place to express themselves where they will be heard and not judged. I help them develop strategies to overcome their challenges by identifying feelings, developing and practicing coping skills, and increasing positive communication skills in their relationships. When appropriate, I work closely with parents, schools and probation to ensure we're all working toward the same goal.

I have had much success with teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and difficulties managing life stress. I use a CBT approach combined with Holistic interventions such as using diet, nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and relaxation. I provide psycho-education regarding the physiology of stress and the mind/body continuum. Much focus is given to self regulation and staying focused/ goal directed as a way of achieving happiness and self fulfillment. There is a great deal of focus on self-acceptance and "How to be happy even though life will never be perfect."

As a couple who no longer can communicate or connect, you often find yourself wondering how did this relationship get to this point. You are hurt, lonely, and more importantly scared of what is next. Every conversation ends up in a fight and more disconnect and confusion follows, bringing a sense of hopelessness and frustration. You both may still love each other and feel really bad for where you are, but nothing seems to work anymore. You never imagined your relationship to look like this, both of you are smart, hard-working, kind and caring individuals - where did this go wrong?

Therapy provides a confidential place to talk about personal experiences, thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Individuals who come to therapy may have experienced a situation that disrupts thinking, mood, feelings, and the ability to relate to others. Persons may also seek therapy because they want a neutral place to talk about general life experiences. Children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families need a place to feel supported, receive guidance, and learn new ways to handle life's challenges. My approach incorporates the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of individuals as they attain their goals.
