Therapists in Quakertown, PA

You're strong, but exhausted. You work hard to keep it all together so people view you as confident, capable and worthy. They don't know you're falling apart inside, feeling stuck, frustrated, unappreciated, stressed out, and sometimes even hopeless. You aren't feeling good enough, and you're not happy with the direction your life seems to be going in. The most important relationships in your life are strained, and you don't know what to do. You want change. You want to know what it's like to really ENJOY life. You can. Looking for a therapist is hard, but it's a step towards making a life-time investment in yourself and your life.

My ideal client is someone who comes to me with an open mind about treatment, is willing to challenge themselves, and works with me as a team to set and achieve their goals. I specifically enjoy working with clients experiencing anxiety/phobias, self-esteem/body image/disordered eating concerns, and stress. I would also love to work with clients experiencing sexual concerns. Ideal clients will be open and honest with me, as they understand our sessions are a safe and judgment-free space. They will have patience with themselves as we explore their concerns while also being willing to make changes for their benefit.

My ideal client would look for a non-judgmental and safe environment where they can find comfort in knowing that someone is ready to listen and provide support and validation. Someone who needs a clinician to assist them in processing their thoughts and feelings. Goals may vary according to the client, but I am here to help who I can!

If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or just wanting to improve your life overall, I'm here to help. My goal is to provide my clients with as much support and guidance to explore and process whatever challenges life throws at you. Together, we can create goals that are unique to you and your needs.

My ideal client has been trying to navigate life independently and realizes they need to speak with someone. They have experienced how navigating the world as a minority has caused them to have a different life experience from their peers. They may have found increased anxiety and depression due to their lived experience, and they do not want things they cannot change to affect them anymore negatively.

My ideal client is someone open to the process of therapy. Someone who is willing to show up for themselves, and “put in the work”. My client may be someone dealing with anxiety, depression, or challenges of ADHD, such as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. My client may be feeling in a rut or “stuck” in personal aspects of their life. My client may be challenged by different phases and stages of life, by not feeling capable or feeling easily overwhelmed. They want to engage in therapy and work on achieving their personal goals in a space where they are seen, heard, validated and encouraged.

I am accepting clients ranging from fourteen years of age and older. I work with individuals, families, and couples. Although I have experience treating an eclectic range of concerns, ideally, my clients may be facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and PTSD. I have great expertise in treating dually-diagnosed clients, substance misuse, and mental health. The stress and hardships that come with these issues are often too much to handle on your own; please let me help.

Each client has their own specific needs and goals when entering therapy. Clients should feel heard and validated, while also being challenged to both feel and examine their feelings. Clients work to gain insight regarding their own personal experiences, as well as how they view others and the world through these experiences. Clients work with the therapist to create insight and understanding through trust and collaboration.

I especially enjoy supporting young adults who may be in transition or seeking clarity on the impact of the past on their current lives. They may be struggling with symptoms of grief, loneliness, depression, anxiety, co-dependency, or just a sense that something is off. My ideal client may have a specific goal in mind or might have a desire to be heard.

My ideal client would be an individual that is motivated to change. Motivation and openness to the therapeutic process are essential to the progress made in sessions. I love working with individuals who can identify their issues and needs and are willing to increase their self-awareness and actively work toward their goals.

Opening up to someone new about yourself can be daunting for some of us. Using words out loud may not be our strong suit. Or… You're ready to speak up and wondering who, where or what to tell. I am here to help when you are ready.

My objective is to help you identify your strengths to enable better management of on-going difficulties and break free from a sense of "stuckness." I place an emphasis on clients' unique cultural elements to help personalize and maximize treatment efficiency. I want us to incorporate your values as the structure for our work together.

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice. The ideal client for my strengths is someone who wants to learn and shift by discovering tangible skills and techniques they can use in their own lives.

Everybody experiences adversity differently. Not only is it is important to get to the core issues that are interfering with your daily functioning, but also to have someone provide understanding about these issues. My job is to focus on the presenting symptoms and work to get to the root of the problem. Whether you need individual or family counseling, I can provide it in a safe and comfortable atmosphere. By working together, you will be able to better identify strategies to help manage your symptoms and improve everyday life.

When you enter a session with me, I want you to feel safe to explore personal and relational issues in a collaborative manner.

Change is something that we can always rely on. It will come into our lives whether welcomed or not. Being able to find inner balance and develop resiliency can help a person move through these changes. The start of this journey to establish inner balance, whether triggered due to illness, depression, anxiety, stress, or something else, can begin with outreach for support. I am drawn to the human spirit and I love working with individuals to fulfill their ultimate potential. I work to create a safe environment that allows for exploration and vulnerability, the emergence of awareness, strength, and resiliency.
