Therapists in West Newton, PA

I am a professional mental health counselor certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I work side-by-side with my clients to identify realistic and attainable personal goals to produce self-awareness and positive change. I provide a safe and relaxed environment to process life’s complications such as sport performance difficulties, relationship issues, phase of life struggles, anxiety and depression, substance abuse, and more.

I offer services to those looking to explore personal growth, change and support. I understand that certain stressors can become attached to our daily life responsibilities or interests and I want to help you find ways to overcome the obstacles you feel are present in your life. It takes great courage to be open to the process of therapy and I am willing to listen to your needs and create a plan with you. My therapeutic approach is one that allows you to organize your thoughts and develop insightful ways to cope with life adjustments.

Starting therapy is hard, finding a therapist that is the right fit for YOU can feel daunting! Many people seeking therapy just feel stuck, unmotivated and lost. Others seek therapy to learn ways to cope with a specific event or life circumstance. Please know, I am happy to answer questions as you start this journey. Individuals seeking therapy with me will be open to learning ways of responding to themselves with kindness and love. You will be receptive to connecting the ways previous experiences inform current relationships. Ideally, you will come ready to feel challenged, heard and seen.

We all experience difficulties, and at times it can be tough to sort through our thoughts and feelings alone. I believe that we all have patterns of reactions that arise in our thoughts and behaviors. Some of these patterns may be healthy and some unhealthy. I like to think of the therapeutic environment as a safe place to sort through what makes us, “us”. Within this environment we hope to become more aware of our patterns and decision making. With increased awareness we can make the decisions on what continues to work for us and what no longer serves us well.

In the current world of ongoing and chronic stress, life issues can interfere with anyone's ability to live their life to the fullest. Sometimes these issues are life crises like the death of a loved one, new life phases like parenting and adjusting to a new born, or downsizing when the last child leaves home. Sometimes these issues are related to efforts to manage what feels like overwhelming stress with things like the over use of alcohol, drugs, video games, gambling, eating, anger or other less productive behaviors. Depression, anxiety, sleep issues and worry can all result from the experience of daily life. Counseling can help.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" ~ Mahatma Gandhi. Congratulations on taking a huge first step! Therapeutic change starts with building a relationship. I provide an inviting, relaxed environment where privacy and security are built upon to develop a foundation of trust and safety, paced to fit your needs. I encourage and challenge my clients to discover their inner strengths, resources, and resilience. We work together to apply your strengths to create unique processes and develop steps toward achieving long-term change and increased adaptability.

It's extremely isolating trying to manage everything you are dealing with. No one gets it, even though they say they do, which is infuriating and only makes you feel more isolated. You are becoming a pressure cooker and can't continue to hold it all on your own, but you have no idea where to start. (And "starting" sounds terrifying in and of itself.) "Avoiding" has been the route you take, but it's becoming harder and harder to keep things from coming to the surface. You need a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can FINALLY let it ALL out, not just the parts that feel most comfortable. This can be that place.
