Person-Centered Therapists in Venango County, PA

Many find psychotherapy useful as a space to explore stressors and difficulties, learn new ways to cope with hardships, and ultimately make changes to enhance quality of life. I remain focused on providing support to each client and incorporate techniques aimed to alleviate distress, foster resilience, and help one move closer to achieving their goals. I utilize an integrative approach including person-centered, supportive, CBT, and/or psychodynamic techniques, always tailoring my style to meet each client's unique needs.

If it feels like you're in a constant battle within your mind, you're not alone. We all experience negative thoughts and feelings that, at times, feel overwhelming. Maybe you're struggling with self-esteem, depression, or anxiety. Maybe you're confronting tension in your faith or close relationships. Maybe you're left reeling after a life event (or global pandemic). Big and small life changes alike can cause you to feel like your foundations are shaking. But whatever you may be experiencing, finding the right therapist can go a long way towards healing and growth. This is where I hope to help!

I mainly provide individual therapy to anyone aged 18 and older. I have a special interest in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, helping my clients learn techniques to live life on their terms instead of their fears. However, I also have interest in helping people struggling with relationship difficulties, perinatal and postpartum disorders, and life transitions. Sometimes we just need our feelings to be validated and heard and I am happy to do that for my clients and hold space for their emotions. I enjoy helping people heal from past hurts so that they can live more fully in the present.

The clients I typically see are seeking help with processing life changes, family issues, trauma, depression and anxiety. I work with them to create a goal that is personal and most importantly achievable.

I truly believe that all humans seek to be seen, heard, and understood. Life is hard, but no one has to do that alone. As a counselor, I hope to create a safe space where anyone can begin to acknowledge and tell their story. My humanistic approach is foundational to the counseling I provide. Depending on the client and the treatment goals, I will use a variety of theories and techniques. I wholeheartedly believe in positive psychology and love to help others see and seek their fullest potential.

I often see people who struggle with symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety and center interventions with a mind-body approach. I provide a unique combination of treatment modalities such as EMDR, IFS, ESFT, and DBT. I approach mental health with a holistic lens, weaving many factors in treatment to enhance wellness. I believe the growth experienced during our most difficult times helps to transform and define the moments within our lives, and I am honored to help people grow after facing hardship, tragedy, and trauma.

I am committed to guiding individuals toward inspired changes in a safe place without judgment. For over twenty years I've helped individuals with anxiety, depression, personality concerns, and relationship concerns. Each of us has unique needs, but can find new mindfulness and empowering self-awareness. Mindfulness can be a state of liberating awareness and also an active practice. It can promote psychological flexibility, a return to the present moment and the resolving of complex trauma-related problems. In the words of Clarice Lispector, "Life is for anyone who is brave enough to risk and humble enough to learn."
