Teletherapy for Pennsylvania

Is alcohol causing problems in your life? Is your substance use causing problems in your life (such as marital, family, relationship, job, legal, relationship) I am here to help you get through them. I will end the insanity. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and a Certified Intervention Professional (CIP). I achieved my Master's degree in Addictions Counseling from Villanova University. I have over 39 years in recovery and 35 years experience as a substance use counselor. I help men, women and families who struggle with drugs and alcohol. Call me now!

I believe every one has their own unique potential in overcoming adversity. Life is not easy and often times we need support and someone to listen to our fears, hopes, dreams. We sometimes, need a nudge in a certain direction that we can't clearly see. I can help provide that nudge with whatever your are struggling with and provide insight on how to get there. I also do life coaching. Life coaching is different than therapy in that you may need guidance but not have a psychological disorder.

I enjoy the diversity of my clients, walking with adults of all ages and backgrounds. In 2011 I turned into the joys of psychotherapy as a second career. I see my main job as listening carefully, mirroring your process with empathy and helping you move toward the goals you set, whether they are about reaching deeper inside or moving into the practical steps you need to take next week. My experience and spirituality are assets you can rely on, but they will not direct your own process of understanding, healing and maturation.

My therapeutic approach is informed by my background in meditation, Eastern contemplative philosophy, and evolutionary psychology. I work with clients to establish a treatment plan that is uniquely sensitive to their particular clinical needs and concerns. Some of the most common techniques I employ focus on the important relationship between body and mind; these experiential, somatic, and cognitive interventions allow for critical shifts in perspective that promote meaningful and enduring behavioral change.

Reaching out for help can be a difficult decision. It is crucial to find a therapist who displays warmth, compassion, empathy, attentiveness and a safe space to facilitate self-understanding and healing. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, my approach focuses on helping you find specific personality strengths to promote growth while increasing self-awareness. I have comprehensive experience and training in treating acute anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship conflict and addiction. I am flexible in adapting my therapeutic approach to support your unique needs.

Have you asked questions like this? “Why can’t my spouse understand me?” “Why don’t I love you the like in the beginning?” Then you have already started the work of building a better relationship. You are on the path to discovering how powerful healthy relationships are.

Are you looking for better connection, satisfaction and communication in your relationships? Maybe there was an affair, life change, or maybe the fire just isn't as bright as it used to be. I have a strong passion for helping individuals and couples re-connect, work through conflict, find a sense of shared meaning and explore all that a good relationship has to offer.

My goal as a therapist is to create an environment, and to foster a relationship in which my clients feel seen, heard, and safe to express their full range of emotions. Life is complicated, and much of the time people are burdened with meeting others’ expectations; in my practice I hope people feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable, and entirely themselves. Once our relationship is fostered through trust, honesty, and safety, a client and I will unpack and process negative self-beliefs, explore the importance of past and present relationships, and implement strategies to promote long term wellness.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults (18+) as well as Ecotherapy approaches and concepts. Accessing therapeutic effects from nature is of great help to attain balance, effective coping, rejuvenation, and personal insight. Ecotherapy can be a key add-on to the immense healing that CBT can provide. Online telehealth sessions focus on what you want to ADDRESS and remedy (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, relationship troubles, parenting, self-esteem, addiction, panic/phobia, aging, and more). as well as how to COPE with challenges, uncertainty and distress.

Welcome! I am glad that you have taken the first step toward improving your well being! I look forward to helping you identify your issues and developing realistic therapy goals. We all struggle with problems life presents us, and I believe that I have the experience and training to offer effective help within my role. I am especially interested in helping you to define your goals in terms of changing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that you are more effective and happier in life. I describe myself as client-centered and nonjudgmental.

If you’re here it’s likely because you find yourself struggling. Perhaps you’re in the midst of a transition - a new job, a new city, graduating college, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a loved one. You’re not sure how to navigate the situation and the feelings associated with it are intense. Maybe you’re like the estimated 21 million U.S. adults living with depression. You can’t find any motivation. You’re crying for seemingly no reason. Maybe you’re like the estimated 42.5 million U.S. adults who live with anxiety. You can’t find rest. Your thoughts race and you feel on edge all the time. I'm here to walk with you.

I enjoy treating adults, teens, couples (married or otherwise), and families who are suffering from a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, illness, recent loss, drug and substance abuse and/or a history of trauma (emotional, physical and mental).I specialize in working with couples (married or otherwise). The relational dynamic and negative reinforcement cycles intimate partners find themselves trapped in are the things I have a strong knack for noticing and interrupting to allow couples to find new ways to improve their relationship quality.

With more than a decade of experience as a therapist, I've cultivated a deep passion and expertise in applying diverse evidence-based practices tailored to the unique needs of each individual I work with. As a compassionate guide, I accompany clients on their transformative journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.

I work with people who feel as if things are outside of their control and are looking to find better balance. Whether it’s a recent experience influencing your distress, or perhaps something that’s been present for much longer, I aim to help people better understand their situation and develop the skills needed to manage the thoughts and feelings that may be contributing to the struggle. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and general difficulty managing emotions are all areas with which I have experience. I also focus on areas such as impulse control/difficulty focusing, managing technology/internet use, and mindfulness practices.

Available Mornings, Afternoons, and Evenings. I provide in person and online counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. My expertise spans adjustment disorders, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, depression, and mood disorders, as well as substance use, relationship conflict, family conflict, and parenting difficulties.

You probably already know at least some of what you wish were different in your life. Often the things we wish were different we have wanted to change for months, years, or even decades. Counseling often has a balanced focus on helping you learn how to cope with present day symptoms while at times looking back to become free from old patterns of responding. Those old patterns that at one time may have been necessary in order to survive, now may be the very thing limiting your ability to thrive and realize your potential.
