Family Therapy in Yardley, PA

I work with children (5+) and teenagers who are experiencing difficulties with hyperactivity (e.g. attention, lack of focus, school problems), impulsivity, oppositional defiance, anxiety, as well as adjustment issues such as divorce, change in school or family dynamics. As a licensed professional counselor and licensed behavioral specialist, I am highly trained to address these, and similar issues.

My clients come in with varied concerns- cultural-specific relational challenges, parenting challenges, infidelity in marriage, coping with psychological disorders, codependency. They work on building resiliency, to overcome obstacles through application of skills that they learn in their therapeutic process with me. My clients move through their therapeutic journey empowering themselves with the ability to navigate through life challenges. Together we can work on helping you create healthier boundaries in life, gain work-personal life balance, overcome parenting challenges and have a more integrated mental health experience.

Reaching out to a professional takes courage. When struggles and unexpected challenges arise, it can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, OCD, and many other psychological and emotional symptoms. Sometimes stress leads to compulsive behaviors, including; over indulging in alcohol and substance misuse. We encourage self-exploration into the patterns that keep individuals stuck, and prevent them from moving forward. We help client's capitalize on their strengths to focus on reaching their highest potential.

"Each of us is born with the potential to be the best version of ourselves. For most of us, along the way, life can get in the way. Whether it's substances, relationships, anxiety or negative thoughts; we lose our way. We find ourselves muddling through what is meant to be a satisfying and uplifting journey. If you want to discover how to get back to that inborn potential; therapy may be the answer. I won't have all the answers, no one knows you better than you! I will help you uncover the answers that are true for you."

In any psychotherapy the relationship between the client and their therapist is of paramount importance. With that in mind, I prioritize getting to know each person that I work with in a meaningful way as we engage in the process of symptom reduction. I pride myself on being able to build comfortable discussion with adults, adolescents, and children and tailor communication to best fit each developmental stage. When working with families I ensure that each family members' concern is heard and work to join with each member while remaining focused on addressing the issue which brought them to treatment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and overly emotional? Trying to "fix" things on your own without success? Untreated, these feelings often lead to anxiety, depression, family conflict and increase stress; this prevents you from living your life to the fullest.

The goal of therapy is for each person to reach their highest potential in all areas of their lives. I treat children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing various emotional and psychological symptoms.

Life is filled with times of transition and times of change. This couldn't be more true than for the life of a child or an adolescent. School stressors, personal identity, family separations, forming healthy friendships, and an overwhelming desire for acceptance are all things that a child or adolescent may deal with regularly. In these moments it is crucial for a young person to feel understood and listened to in order to be helped. Coming alongside a young person in whatever place they may be residing in is where my heart resides. Many times this age group can be overlooked or misunderstood, but their needs still remain.

I can help you age in peace! Having reached senior age myself it is time for me to concentrate on the issues that meet us as seniors. We all experience grief and health issues that are both emotionally and practically hard to handle without support. Conflict between generations are common. Some are emotional issues.

With my background in both family therapy and family law I am uniquely qualified to resolve and prevent these kinds of family conflicts. I don’t give legal advise, but I can point out things you should discuss with a lawyer.
