Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in State College, PA

I see psychotherapy as a psycho-educational experience where you learn about yourself. This counseling process of self-exploration leads to understanding self-defeating thinking and behaviors that may keep you from actualizing potential for successful relationships, success in business and career and from having a really happy life. During the years since I have been a licensed psychologist, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals and couples to achieve a happier, emotionally healthier, and financially successful life. My patients describe me as being a no nonsense person, while at the same time being warm and comfortable.

As a licensed psychologist and clinical neuropsychologist, I have over 22 years of experience working as a therapist, evaluator, and consultant. My work with Hope and Healing involves providing support to individuals aged 16 and up who are experiencing a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, and major life transitions. With a firm grounding in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ), I believe that effective therapy is only possible through the establishment of a mutually respectful, honest, and nonjudgmental therapeutic partnership.

It is said that when you pursue your life passion, it will never feel like work, and I believe that I am pursuing my life passion through my work with clients. Growing up in Harlem, NYC afforded me with the opportunity to see life in a way that deepens my understanding of culture, privilege, oppression and environmental barriers and how these factors uniquely shape all of us. My approach to therapy involves meeting you where you are, creating a safe space for you, and challenging you in a supportive way to make the desired changes in yourself.

When people are experiencing stress, unhappiness, and conflict they often feel like there is no hope.

It is said, if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life. I believe that I have found my passion, helping others recovery in their life's journey. I want therapy to be driven by your needs and goals, and it is essential to recognize and work with the reciprocal relationship between mental and physical health. I help clients identify and challenge their negative, maladaptive thoughts (and associated feelings) in order to then cultivate more positive, adaptive, and self-affirming thoughts - which leads to a more empowered, growth mindset.

I value working collaboratively with my clients and from a perspective that values individual strengths. I work to provide a safe, warm, supportive, non-judgmental, and productively challenging environment form my clients to think, explore, and grow. I primarily work from an ACT and CBT approach but I am flexible to cIient needs. I am able to focus on trauma work and I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidenced based treatment for trauma and PTSD. I am also able to take on supervisees who are collecting hours toward licensure as a professional counselor. - My practice is entirely in telehealth. -

Whether because of past trauma or current feelings of anxiety and depression, sometimes assessing your emotional needs or creating boundaries with the people and places around us is difficult. Often, it’s even more arduous to maintain emotional wellness. I center my practice around helping you understand personal accountability in a safe, empathetic, welcoming space. Using your strengths, emotional resilience, and willingness to heal, I will guide you through processing trauma and emotional challenges to make changes that permanently stick. You deserve peace in your own life and relationships; I am ready to make that leap with you.
