Therapists in Yardley, PA

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. Some can be triggered wills, health directives, powers of attorney, naming of estate executors. 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.

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.

My ideal client would be someone motivated to engage in motivational interviewing and change work.

My ideal client would look for a non-judgmental and safe environment where they can find comfort in knowing that someone is ready to listen and provide support and validation. Someone who needs a clinician to assist them in processing their thoughts and feelings. Goals may vary according to the client, but I am here to help who I can!

My ideal client struggles with self-esteem, anxiety, and/or neurodivergence. They need reassurance, reframing of insecurities, support, and perhaps encouragement to advocate for themselves. Through therapy, they plan to achieve greater self-confidence, independence, and satisfaction with life. They may want a second opinion on their questions and troubles, perhaps due to societal invalidation, sexism, homophobia, and racism.

An ideal client would present with their struggle in transparency, with the desire to grow, and put in the work to achieve goals. That could be managing emotions, holding a job, rebuilding relationships, or perhaps implementing more self-care. A client who wants to heal, find peace, and promote balance and autonomy. I am very easygoing, and really like to showcase my ability to promote a safe trusting environment. It is okay to feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed in life; I hope to encourage and normalize the need to take care of ourselves.

My ideal client struggles with Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Trauma, and/or related conditions. They are motivated for change or at least open to the possibility of change. They are open to feedback and willing to lean into the therapeutic process. They do not need to have clear goals for the therapeutic process right away but are willing to work to identify these goals in the treatment process. They would want to improve their life in some way, or even just their relationship with themselves.

My ideal client would be an individual who has had life changes (big or small) and is willing to put in the time to work on finding new norms for their lives.

In addition, I like to have clients who are open to working with me and want a better quality of life.

A patient presents with concerns regarding impulsive decision-making and wanting to change relationship patterns. She was recently diagnosed with postpartum after giving birth 30 days prior. She is currently in a relationship with the child's father and reports being unhappy with his parenting skills. She wants to go out on her own but is afraid he will separate her from the child. In therapy, she has clarified that she does not want to share with him at the child's young age.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 19 years experience with clients. I consider it a privilege to work with clients seeking individual, couples, and or family therapy. I assist couples primarily in improving their communication and understanding of each other. Negative interaction patterns are assessed to get to the root of the issues, and attentiveness towards each other in ways they feel loved is increased. Clients present with depression, anxiety, life transition issues, grief, low self esteem, stress, & parenting issues. I've worked with women on improving self care/love, confidence, & setting healthy boundaries

My ideal client is someone who has a desire to make positive change. This is someone who is goal-oriented and desires to learn new ways of coping with their problems. This desire can be as simple as recognizing that how they’ve been trying to cope hasn’t been working, and they need to try something new.

I am accepting clients ranging from fourteen years of age and older. I work with individuals, families, and couples. Although I have experience treating an eclectic range of concerns, ideally, my clients may be facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and PTSD. I have great expertise in treating dually-diagnosed clients, substance misuse, and mental health. The stress and hardships that come with these issues are often too much to handle on your own; please let me help.

Every person has the ability to overcome obstacles. I am here to provide what is needed to see you through that process. Whatever your challenges, we will move together carefully and consciously in an open, non-judgmental and supportive environment. The process of change can happen subtly and steadily or a realization can burst into a huge leap forward. As insight and strength grow, you will be naturally inspired to make concrete and positive change. After serving in the field of mental health for 25 years, I have seen evidence of our work in the confidence and successes of my clients.

My ideal client wants something better, has no idea what "better" is or looks like, and has no idea where to start. They are still determining if they are ready to start or commit to that change. What they need is a person and a space to figure it out. Deep down, they know where they are right now can be better, whether in relationships, emotions, daily habits, major life goals, or anything in-between. But, most importantly, they want a space where they can process and grow from that place and build a sustainable life.

My goal as a therapist is to assist you in developing skills to help you thrive in life, feel grounded and a sense of peace and happiness. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable in openly sharing your perspectives, hopes, aspirations, fears, and treatment goals. I strive to not only listen, but to truly hear your messages and stories. Throughout my training I have worked with individuals, families and group therapy to children, teens and adults. I draw from modalities that are tailored to each individual, depending upon their concerns.

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. Coping during stressful times requires talking to a compassionate professional who will treat you with dignity and respect. 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.

As a counselor, I have always been aware of the courage and openness a client needs to be able to seek support and engage in counseling services. I also understand how difficult it is to make therapeutic changes in one's life. I am humbled to be privileged to learn about a client's intimate struggles, and I take the depth of that relationship of respect, privacy, boundaries, and expectations very seriously. My ideal client is anyone open to counseling, receiving feedback, and willing to work together on developing action steps towards change and personal growth.
