Spirituality Therapists in Quakertown, PA

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.

Each struggle in life brings an opportunity to uncover conflicts and create healing with a deeper exploration in therapy. I meet people where they are in life and begin treatment there. I have hope that healing can occur in everyone if they have motivation. I use a creative arts, integrative, evidence based model to explore patterns, beliefs, and get to the core so we can rebuild where the healing is needed. With children, I use play therapy and creative arts. I use insight, goals, and strengths to create treatments plans. We re-assess every few months to track progress.

As an experienced clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of persons struggling with substance use, chronic mental illness, and traumatic brain injury my interests include working with adults/young adults 16+ who struggle with anxiety, depression, complex/single incident trauma, relationships, self-esteem, shame/guilt, LGBT issues, etc. I embrace the opportunity to join my client on their journey while using my skills of active listening, empathy, and humor to help guide, but with the knowledge that each individual knows what fits best as well as their ability to steer in the direction of their goals.

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.

Families today can be complicated and solutions that are to be meaningful will often need to involve everyone that is part of the family to be working towards common goals. Relationships as well as children do not come with instructions. As a parent, you want what is best for your child, but it's not always easy to know what type of support he or she needs. My therapeutic play/counseling program is a good place to turn to when a child's problems seem overwhelming and too difficult to handle alone. I have over 30 years of experience working with children and families.

Throughout my work and training, I feel I have relearned the meaning of therapy. I, like most, used to see therapy as only a solution to a problem. Something has to be wrong in order for one to seek therapy. While counselors are certainly here to help with symptoms and adversities, I encourage anyone seeking growth and perspective to consider therapy. We have all heard the phrase, “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Why do we have to wait for something to be broken? Reach out for support now, wherever you are in your timeline, because you deserve it and that’s ok.

I have strong beliefs that people have struggles, and make mistakes, but with some willingness, and open-mindedness they can learn tools to become the best person they can. I also believe that people often struggle with relationships due to weak communication and boundaries. As your therapist I will help you to develop a action plan that allows you to overcome obstacles and meet your life goals. I tailor my approach to helping individuals, couples, and families in a cognitive and behavioral way that promotes life long change and wellness.

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.

VIRTUAL THERAPY PROVIDED AT NO ADDITIONAL FEES , DIFFERENT VIRTUAL PLATFORMS ARE AVAILABLE I believe that every individual has the capacity to develop a full life based from healthy communication and utilizing their strengths. I use a strengths based, emotion focused treatment array to help you be the best you can be !

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 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.

I developed a 'whole brain' creative arts therapy to help clients find the words and images that can express their thoughts and emotions. This enables clients to 'see' how their negative behaviors originally developed as a way to cope with high levels of interpersonal stress. The BrainsmART process empowers clients with strategies that organize their emotions as they discharge past traumas from their body and mind. Once emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-'view' the memories and beliefs and re-route their self-destructive behaviors. The process works creatively to redirect addictive urges into self-empowering action. Call me at 267.261.9987

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.

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.

"Man is a knot into which relationships are tied". ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942.

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.
