Therapists in Washington County, PA

When little people are overwhelmed by BIG feelings it is our job to share our calm, not join their chaos. -L.R. Knost. For many kids and teens, even mentioning beginning counseling can feel scary and overwhelming, being asked to share their deepest thoughts and feelings and behavioral challenges with a complete stranger. I recognize this challenge and approach my sessions with patience and understanding. Just as every child and their reasons for beginning this process are unique and diverse, so is my treatment style. I focus on developing coping skills, frustration management, and processing and exploring emotions and experiences.

If you find yourself in need of help in reaching your maximum potential in life, or if life has become a bit of a struggle, you may find comfort in understanding more about yourself.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA and WV, National Certified Counselor, and a Certified School Counselor for children in grades K-12. I provide teletherapy at Children In Balance for children and their families/support systems. I believe strongly that all children are worthy of love and respect and that they all have the ability to be successful and happy! I understand the importance of working with the "whole child" across all environments - including both home and school. I believe that in order for positive change to happen, we need to work together as a team to support your child in all aspects of life.

People who have experienced hardships or trauma that has left a lasting impact on them, experienced conflictual or dysfunctional relationships in their family system, struggle with maternal mental health, or those who are just experiencing a barrier to living authentically are ideal clients for my therapeutic approach. I utilize humor, genuine curiosity, and my quirky personality (thanks, ADHD!) to connect with others and develop an authentic space for vulnerability. If you are looking to heal from the roots up while discovering YOU- I'd love to embark on that journey with you.

I have 31 years of experience providing counseling. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, stressing that what we think determines what we feel and what we do. For many reasons, people learn unrealistic or destructive thoughts that cause them problems in their lives. Therapy works towards more realistic thinking, and avoiding old and destructive thinking. As I like to say, therapy is a conversation with a destination, and realistic thinking is that destination.
