Teletherapy for Quakertown, PA

As a therapist, my role is to walk with people in understanding themselves and their lived experiences, to help people acquire skills to cope with adversity and build resilience, and to foster health, well-being, and self-compassion in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I strive to provide a warm, inclusive environment where clients can be themselves unconditionally - where they are free and encouraged to be who they are without hesitation. I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is a solid, collaborative relationship based on empathy, trust, respect, and honesty. I understand my clients as human beings before anything else.

If you are looking to reduce anxiety, acquire healthy coping skills, and improve your relationships then you are in the right place. I am a licensed professional counselor, and I am passionate about helping teens and adults who are ready to process the deep inner conflicts to stop self-sabotaging. As your therapist I can help you see these patterns and also assist you in creating a roadmap to achieving sustained and meaningful change. I specialize working with individuals seeking support for anxiety, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem.

Having had the experience of working with people of all walks in life, one of my favorite parts of counseling is getting to know you as a person, the whole you! My goal in counseling is to work with each individual to help connect their mind-body-spirit (as you define it) in helping them to improve their overall wellness. The joy of counseling is finding what works for you which is why I tailor counseling to each individual, while working to help you identify your own strengths that can help you overcome the challenges that life has to offer.

Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.

I am experienced in depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational conflict, family systems, addiction, criminal justice, anger management, eating disorders/body image, and mood disorders. The ideal client actively wants to explore their behaviors and thinking patterns and identify the underlying causes of these behaviors. In addition, the ideal client will be willing to tackle goals inside & outside therapy sessions. My ideal client would be an individual who is internally and externally motivated to change their life. They show up to sessions on time consistently and make a conscious effort to engage in the therapeutic process.

I enjoy working with clients who want to get to the root of their struggles. These clients would like to gain insight into their symptoms, something difficult that has happened to them or to explore cycles and patterns that aren’t serving them. The clients I see often have attended therapy in the past. The clients I see also often present with attachment-based traumas, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and difficulties in their personal and work relationships.

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.
