Therapists in West Chester, PA
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.

As a counselor to children and adolescents, it is my goal to create a safe and comfortable place for individuals to heal and grow from overwhelming or traumatic life experiences. Sometimes these experiences can cause feelings of sadness, loneliness, grief, or anxiety. We can often feel stuck in the cycles of anxiety and depression or simply overwhelmed by day-to-day tasks. Through our time together, I hope to foster self-compassion, resilience, and confidence to continue on a healing path.

My passion lies in supporting individuals living with chronic illnesses and disabilities, neurodiversity, and adoption/foster care.

Have you struggled with finding the "right fit" in a therapist? I am here to tell you that you are not alone! I have worked with many individuals that have experienced this concern before, whether it is because of past experiences or fear of the unknown in starting therapy. One of the first things I strive for is creating a safe and supportive environment where new clients feel secure in developing a positive and healthy relationship with me so we can work together to reach their therapeutic goals. Wherever my clients are at in their healing journey, I want to help them develop the tools they need to succeed in their lives.

Welcome! Talking to someone you don't know about personal issues is difficult. It’s important to me to create a safe and relaxed environment for you-a place where you feel ‘seen’. I primarily work with adults and older teens coping with anxiety, trauma, borderline personality disorder, bipolar d/o, those on the autism spectrum, self-worth and relationship issues. I have a personal interest in working with veterans, college students, and the LGBT+ population. I'm a pretty authentic, honest person. My favorite part of my work is to help you find and build mastery with strengths, and to help you build a strong sense of identity.

I believe anyone can change. My role is to help you identify what you want to be different and to develop the strategies necessary to achieve these goals. I approach people from a non-judgmental mindset, treating them with respect and dignity. Many of the people I see struggle with major life altering events such as divorce and/or addiction. Many others have come from abusive environments, which interfere with their ability to form healthy connections with others. What these people often share is the feeling of being overwhelmed. By systematically reviewing the forces creating the difficulty, peace can be yours.

I have a profound faith in peoples’ resilience and capacity for change. At the same time, we all can face difficulties, life changes or situations that feel overwhelming and negatively impact our health, well-being and relationships. I work with clients to both figure out what problem they are trying to solve as well as coming up with a solution. Because each person, couple or family is different, I pull from multiple strength-based therapeutic approaches to incorporate strategies that make sense to, and for, each family system.

I work with individuals using a “Person Centered” approach to treatment that seeks to identify strengths and meet each individual where they are. I believe we are able to work through and understand our own needs in our own way, so that we can better understand our story within the context of our lives to enact positive change.

I support those who are experiencing anxiety & depression and are looking for coping skills to help them. I can assist someone to uncover and understand the relationship that factors in their lives can have on their mental health symptoms. Additionally, I can help uncover negative patterns that maintain a lack of progress. An ideal client would be someone who comes to treatment open-minded, asks questions, and is open to sharing their thoughts, concerns, and questions. This way, the ideal collaboration between therapist and client can occur to achieve the most genuine success through treatment.
