Self Esteem Therapists in State College, PA

Hello! Are you looking for help with persistent anxiety that affects multiple areas of your life? Have you been through trauma that has impacted your self-esteem, your life choices, and your relationships? Would you benefit from an approach that includes exploring issues related to growing up with family dysfunction? Would you like to become more resilient? I am an experienced psychologist and I relate to my clients with warmth and respect. My areas of interest are anxiety, healing from trauma, relationship issues, the process of grieving, and adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). I provide individual and couples counseling.

Whether you have struggled with mental health concerns for many years or are just now becoming curious about supporting your mental wellbeing, I believe therapy can help. We all want relief from our current symptoms, allowing us to believe in our ability to set and accomplish meaningful goals. As an experienced therapist, I have supported college students navigating life transitions, complex trauma survivors who feel disconnected from the people around them, and high-performing professionals struggling to balance the demands of work and home. I help empower men, women, and non-binary adults through private telehealth sessions.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here! I am a licensed professional counselor and music therapist with over 10 years' experience serving individuals and families in institutional, outpatient, and community settings. My experience includes work with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, anger-related concerns, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, chemical dependency and other addictive behaviors, motivational and self-esteem problems, as well as those with developmental delays.

Currently accepting new clients. Do you or your child struggle with stress and anxiety? Do you feel overwhelmed, sad, angry, or have low- self esteem ? Does this affect the relationships around you? I help children, adolescents, adults and families strengthen relationships, regulate emotion and behavior management, and help build social and coping skills. I would love to work together with you to help overcome barriers and empower yourself to make positive changes.

I believe that every human being has the ability to be the best person they can be. Everyone struggles at different times in life, some unfortunately, more than others complicated by circumstances, situations and relationships. I work with the understanding that we get stuck around negative emotions that we tend to avoid, as they are uncomfortable, unwanted and painful. I help people explore what their underlying core emotional issues are and help them clarify how they are avoiding them, inviting them to face these uncomfortable emotional experiences and move toward them, stretching their comfort zone.

*Accepting individuals in Pennsylvania and Florida* Counseling can help you gain an understanding of your own physical and emotional experience. This understanding allows you the ability to calm your nervous system enough to connect with others and navigate through your days effectively. This understanding also assists you in addressing the difficulties of your life in new and more effective ways. Having the ability to understand yourself and manage your experience promotes higher self-esteem, healthier relationships, and greater effectiveness in all areas of life. Telehealth can offer you convenience and comfort for your sessions.

Let's work together to help you live your best life: Whatever that means and looks like for you! I believe in the therapeutic process of discovery, understanding, healing and ultimately creating meaning in one's life and circumstances. As your therapist, my goal is to create a comfortable space to work towards your goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor experienced working with adults, teens, couples and families struggling with a variety of concerns including: stress/anxiety, depression, life transitions, career changes, emotion management, self-esteem, relationships, women's issues and so on.

Accepting new clients! You feel like you've had your power and your voice taken away for your entire life. You are exhausted from not being seen as a human first. You are about to explode from so many years of hiding who you are, who you love, and what is pissing you off. You are ready to step into your power, but you have no idea how to start. Or maybe you do, but you need someone supporting you as you navigate all of the complex, heavy sh!t that is about to unfold. I want you to know that I see beyond your struggles and past choices. I want to empower you to embrace your entire self (yes, your ENTIRE self). You can do that here.

I work with individuals who are navigating difficult seasons of life, seeking support in processing painful events and challenges and in finding the best next steps to take.

My greatest passion in this work is helping clients to identify their strengths, recognize their own worth and develop a stronger and more compassionate sense of self. In doing this, it becomes easier for clients to process pain, learn new skills and pursue their goals.
