Teletherapy for York, PA

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am excited to work with both couples and individuals as they navigate life's many challenges. Are you in a relationship torn apart by infidelity? Or perhaps you are struggling with high anxiety and want to find better coping methods for stress.

Everyone deserves to slow down, connect, and grow. I believe therapy helps us do that. If you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, depression or intense emotions, change is possible. I specialize in working with Anxiety and Mood Disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, and impulse control disorders including the overuse of technology when it interferes with your daily life. My goal is to help you gain insights into patterns and behaviors you want to change, live a life in line with your values, and be present for what matters most.

One of my strengths is that I know how hard it can be to get started in therapy, so I always try to be sensitive and reassuring to my clients as we get to know each other. I am capable of reaching many different types of clients, but I most enjoy helping people who have been struggling for a long time and who cannot see a way out of their situation.

CALLING clients and families: Do you or your child struggle with depression and anxiety which makes a daily routine difficult? Do you or your child question on how to manage challenging moments in your life? Have you or your child experienced a traumatic event in your life that seems impossible to process? Do you feel like you are in a stage of crisis that makes it hard to manage daily norms? Have you had multiple anxiety attacks that left you exhausted and tired, but want to learn coping strategies? Do you question your confidence in your relationships, career and personal identity? Are you ready to START the healing process?

Congratulations! You've taken this first, courageous step toward creating a new direction for your life. No doubt you may be feeling a bit anxious about attending therapy if this is a new experience for you. That's perfectly understandable. I want to assure you that you'll be treated with empathy, kindness and respect no matter what issues you may be facing. I am experienced and committed to assisting individuals, couples and families with issues such as anxiety, depression, marital conflict, infidelity, sexual dysfunction, addiction, trauma, abuse, and behavior issues and would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you.

My passion is to assist people from all walks of life with embracing hope, healing and vision. Individual's and families impacted by addiction's, trauma and mental health issues often have difficulty with finding and honoring their own truth. " To thy own self be true". Healthy living is a by-product of healthy boundaries and consistent self-care. Let me help you to identify and overcome the barriers that are preventing you from living a happy, productive and fulfilled life!

Having worked in the field of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency and treatment for over 35 years, I lived through the disease of addiction myself. Today, helping individuals and families from all walks of life to be able to receive the help they need I believe that experiencing the horrors of the illness first hand far better prepared me to help those in need than the years of professional training that have followed. Today, fortunate to have lived the past 40 + years in my own recovery, I remain forever grateful to those who cared enough to help me at a time when I could not help myself.
