Life Coaching Therapists in Quakertown, PA

I specialize in helping you adjust to life transitions. Moving from any life stage to the next can provoke enormous anxiety. Whether you are young, striving to become an adult, or already an adult, trying to adapt to divorce, retirement, or illness, you need to realign your self-understanding in order to figure out the new you. Therapy helps you steer through these changes by providing compassion, support, insights and options.

WELCOME TO LIVING A LIFE OF BALANCE All of us face struggles in our lives. We experience problems and difficulties sometimes on a daily basis and other times only occasionally. When we feel stuck we have a tendency to repeat negative or self-defeating patterns/behaviors. This repetition often causes us to become overly critical of ourselves. Our work together is designed to help you to understand the why and how so that you can make the changes you want in your life . Change is never easy; however it is so worth it!! You will be pleasantly surprised by how happy you will become.

There are moments when you may feel overwhelmed by past memories or experiences, social issues, life responsibilities, challenging relationships, or mental/emotional struggles. My goal is to provide a space to unpack these challenges and build skills to maintain emotion/thought regulation and a healthy relationship with yourself and others. As your therapist, I will uphold an anti-oppressive lens and normalize resting and nurturing your mind, body, and spirit while existing in a demanding society. Together we'll discover how you can live a healthy, balanced life rooted in self-love.

My approach is to foster a strong relationship built upon a foundation of trust, openness, support, honesty, non-judgment, and on occasion - humor. Working in collaboration with you, I use a strength-based and recovery-oriented approach, coupled with evidence-based interventions to help you develop deeper meaning, increase social connectedness, strengthen coping skills, and help empower you to achieve your therapeutic goals. You are the expert on your life and I will be next to you providing support with my clinical skills along the way. I look forward to working with you on this journey.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! I work with a variety of clients, including those experiencing anxiety or depression, trauma, worry, relationship challenges, and blended family challenges, to name a few. I collaborate with clients to meet their essential, immediate goals, and work to promote long-term wellness by identifying a person's innate strengths and resourcefulness. You know yourself best - I am here to listen, learn, and help.

I believe that if we want a healthy, balanced relationship with others, we must first develop and maintain a healthy, balanced relationship with ourselves. As a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Clinical Psychotherapist, Life Coach and Certified Hypnotherapist, I work with individuals, couples and families of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I use an eclectic approach, individualizing each session to the specific needs of each client. In a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment, my clients are encouraged to share openly as we work through problems and find solutions, so they can feel better about themselves, enrich their relationships and enhance their lives.

I have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and look forward to helping you be the best version of you that you can become.

I aim of provide a safe environment for individuals seeking treatment, established from a foundation of strong ethical practice. When working with me, I'd like to believe that you will experience me as honest, genuine, authentic, transparent, and radically compassionate. I support individuals in increasing self-awareness in relation to understanding experiences, navigating their feelings, and emotions, learning their story, identifying their voice, speaking their truth, establishing boundaries for themselves, identifying a life worth living, and implementing the skills necessary to pursue meaningful recovery.

My emphasis in therapy is to support you in identifying your unique goals, and to work collaboratively to remove barriers toward building the meaningful life you have envisioned. My personal belief is that anyone can benefit from therapy, and receive support when needed. I work to create a warm, supportive, and safe space in which you will feel encouraged to fully engage in the therapeutic process. I recognize that the therapeutic relationship is essential for growth and nurture that bond with authenticity, empathy, and honesty.

It is not uncommon to feel stuck, lost, or lonely – unsure where to turn to feel fulfilled. We may have anxiety that stops us from living a life we desire or have low mood and motivation that keeps us from reaching our goals. We may lack a positive support system that makes moving forward difficult. Maybe, we have everyday stress and each day seems to repeat itself. No matter what size our life difficulties are, everyone deserves support. I believe anyone can create and deserves the change they desire with support, honesty, determination and a little bit of trust.

Life isn't always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life 's more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety , depression, self esteem, life transitions, or any other problem, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. Please allow me to help guide you through your journey to feeling happier and confident while learning ways to address the issues you face and learn coping strategies to help you both right now and in future.

With a compassionate and sensitive approach to the individuals journey in life , we make it a priority to fully understand the nature of our clients concerns and experiences. Our hope is that our clients feel completely heard and develop a sense of trust in the therapy process.

Feeling stuck and out of balance with no way out can feel paralyzing emotionally and lead to all kinds of thoughts and reactions that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, panicked, defensive, alone and anxious. This is what we at AHA! refer to as the "Discomfort Zone" and sometimes it takes reaching this place to realize, there IS a way beyond this! And if you are here, I imagine you are ready for some new skills and a fresh perspective that takes you or a child you love beyond the fight or flight mode of just surviving life .

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I enjoy working with adult clients, age 21 & older, with a wide variety of concerns including, but not limited to stress management / life balance, parenting challenges, depression / mood disorders, anxiety / panic, trauma-related symptoms / PTSD, mind / body concerns (chronic pain, illness, emotional overeating), women's issues (infertility, pregnancy, post-partum depression, menopause), grief and loss, and issues of aging (adjusting to retirement, coping with the aging process).

Life starts to beat us down and burn us out. We find ourselves frustrated, irritated, and confused how to move forward. Friends and family that we relied on have run out of energy for us. We can't help it, but we're pushing them away. How can we overcome this struggle without losing those closest to us, without losing ourselves? The stress of life : work, school, family and this world at large can sometimes feel overwhelimg, leading to anxiety, mood and relationship problems or drinking and smoking too much.

My goal as a therapist is to assist you in developing skills to help you thrive in life , feel grounded and a sense of peace and happiness. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable in openly sharing your perspectives, hopes, aspirations, fears, and treatment goals. I strive to not only listen, but to truly hear your messages and stories. Throughout my training I have worked with individuals, families and group therapy to children, teens and adults. I draw from modalities that are tailored to each individual, depending upon their concerns.

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.
