Person-Centered Therapists in Jamison, PA

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.

Life can be complex and meeting goals and finding our own personal meaning are areas I believe hold the answers to some of our most challenging questions. My specialty is working with those who have or are experiencing Domestic Violence, women's issues, and other complex trauma using a Person-Centered approach while considering childhood experiences and attachments, and integrating feminist and environmental/societal considerations. I am additionally EMDR trained. I currently work with individuals 14 years of age and above.

I bring a wealth of knowledge to my work with adults and adolescents with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, as well as grief and loss. I have developed an eclectic approach that includes therapeutic tools and strategies drawn from trauma informed therapy, person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy as well as mindfulness skills. My empathetic, non-judgmental style creates a safe and supportive environment that empowers clients to grow, build their self-worth and achieve positive change.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker that works with young adults and adults but I specialize in working with children (8+) and adolescents. My clients are of diverse populations that are experiencing challenges with education/school, peer relationships, ADHD, depression, anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, mood disorders, and/or trauma. Their goals include being less anxious, develop a toolbox of healthy coping strategies, improve communication and relationships, be more independent, and advocate for themselves.

Finding one's balance is an individual and unique journey. I believe it is a privilege to come along side of a client to help them navigate ways to establish improved balance in their life. First, providing a safe space for clients is imperative in building a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship. Building skills and helping clients in reframing unhelpful thought patterns are some ways I help clients achieve their goals in therapy.

Are you an adult or teen feeling disconnected, misunderstood, worried or stressed? Are you struggling with a relationship? Are you a parent concerned about your child's behavior or emotional health? If you are experiencing negative thoughts or emotions related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges or a life transition and are tired of navigating your circumstances alone, I can help. Together, we will build on your strengths and develop skills and strategies to target your current concerns.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am passionate about helping you strengthen your relationship with yourself, your body, and others. In our sessions we will work together to identify realistic changes that you can make to get closer to living a life free of whatever challenges may be holding you back. My goal is to help you feel comfortable to explore the aspects of your life that brought you to therapy in the first place and to do so in a nurturing and non-judgmental way. I believe that a therapeutic relationship built on trust is the key to successful therapy and I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey!

Life can be messy and challenging at times. You deserve a safe and compassionate place to be heard and understood, while developing balance and consistency. This can be the first step towards self-empowerment, growth, and increased wellness.

Are you struggling with difficult life transitions, depression, & anxiety? I enjoy working with clients who feel motivated to take that first step of exploring reasons why they are feeling unhappy or dissatisfied with their lives right now. I work with clients who want to gain insight & learn tangible skills that they can practice outside of the therapeutic sessions to change their lives for the better. My role as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to help individuals gain insight and feel empowered to create positive change in their lives. I offer a collaborative approach to create a unique treatment plan tailored to your needs.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for my clients where I can assist you in healing, finding new coping skills and start feeling better. It is my passion to support individuals in need and to work together to help you thrive and live a more balanced life. My therapeutic style is person-centered, humanistic and collaborative. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques along with other interventions I have practiced over the years. I take an eclectic approach to meet each clients individual needs.

My number one priority as a therapist is to offer a deep connection in a safe and supportive environment to allow each person to show up as their truest self. Starting from building this foundation, I can offer a variety of paths from there, including but not limited to CBT and DBT skills, grounding and mindfulness practice, addressing, depression, anxiety, general mood concerns, & more, or just a safe space. I primarily work with adults and teens in individual, couples, or family work. As part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I have a passion for working with the community.

Taking the time to learn & care for yourself is a brave and rewarding journey. To cope, grow, and heal are intergyral parts of therapy. My goal as a therapist is to ultimately help you feel empowered and to live as authentically as you can. I work with clients ranging from teens to adults. I practice in the states of PA & NJ. I pride myself on being culturally informed and affirming to all. I treat a wide array of struggles including: childhood trauma, emotional trauma, workplace trauma, medical trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, life transitions, identity struggles, anxiety, addictions, and self-esteem difficulties.

I see the possibility within ourselves, helping clients unlock their limitless potential. Creating a working relationship through unconditional positive regard, compassionate listening, and mutual trust creates a safe environment, the first step towards promoting self-compassion and freeing ourselves of internalized impasses. Embracing our potential is a journey shaped through therapeutic reflective dialogues, skill acquisition, and learning to become fully present. I help clients challenge limiting self-beliefs, replacing those beliefs with empowering messages aimed at creating balance, happiness, and authentic well-being.

There is much talk these days about the power of being vulnerable as popularized by transformative figures such as Brené Brown. I believe it is important work to unearth what activates our vulnerability, shame, and fear, but what deeply excites me is what may happen beyond these revelations. What do we do next, armed with knowledge of our metaphorical Achilles' heel? How do we move forward with courage, optimism, fortitude, and resolve? This is where I bring a robust skill set and personal strengths to the table to work alongside you on your healing path.
