Therapists in Kingston, PA

I am a dedicated, compassionate therapist with almost twenty years of experience in the mental health field. By using a combination of treatment methods individuals are helped to change the course of their lives by enhancing their ability to manage life challenges and tap into inner potential. I have worked with clients to address depression, anxiety, resolution of past trauma, relationship issues, transition, grief, lifestyle change and weight management. In collaboration with the client, we work to develop an understanding of unhelpful behaviors that sabotage relationships and the ability to achieve life goals

As a young adult I sought out counseling to help me navigate my life's issues. It felt most beneficial when a therapist, by listening and understanding me, in a nonjudgmental, supportive and educational way, seemed to meet me where I was at both emotionally and mentally- giving me hope, the tools, the time and the motivation I needed to heal.These healing experiences gave me the desire to help others. Thus following their positive examples, I have approached everyone's treatment on an individual basis- knowing everyone is different emotionally and mentally, and are coming from different life experiences.

Life is like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs, twists and turns. I'm here to navigate through it with you. I believe in understanding our emotions and accepting that there can be multiple truths to a situation. Life isn't always clear-cut; it's full of shades of gray, and that's alright. Let's also learn to stop comparing ourselves to others and instead learn to be kinder to ourselves. Together, learn to embrace your imperfections and find contentment in who you are. After all, those little quirks we perceive as flaws might actually be your biggest assets.

Life can be rough and its easy to get into a place where one may feel overwhelmed or stuck. Its hard to find solutions, make decisions, or find a path out and it's often helpful to talk to a genuine and supportive person that can help to untangle all the things that race through one's mind when we are in a tough spot.

I provide outpatient counseling services on a vast array of clinical issues to adults in a non -judgmental environment that takes the whole person into consideration. Counseling feels like a calling and it is an honor to share the journey with each client.

Sometimes life presents challenges that seem overwhelming. Emotional baggage is heavy and old belief systems can become outdated or irrelevant to who you are today. In a compassionate and objective setting we'll begin to redefine the old beliefs that may be keeping you from reaching your full potential. Whether it's a single life event, or a perpetual problem you are looking to resolve, it would be my privilege to walk with you on your journey.

Your pain deserves space to breathe and be heard. Your authentic self deserves tending to. Being human is hard work. In the limited time we exist, we have countless choices to make as we shape the direction and purpose of our lives. In our struggles, perhaps we may feel phony, unsure of ourself, pressured to hide or distort our feelings and thoughts. We may feel paralyzed when trying to make the “right” decisions. We may feel deeply isolated, unable to sustain relationships where we are cherished exactly as we are. We may be haunted by past traumas and unable to forgive. Or we may wonder about our life's meaning.

Our busy lives can have unexpected changes that send us into challenging mindsets. Sometimes out friends, family, or partners just don't get what we're going through, and it can be difficult to even get out of bed in the morning. The voice in our head might tell us that we're not good enough, that it's not worth talking about what pains us deeply. You ARE worth challenging that voice in your head, and it is worth is to heal from our past to ensure our present and future are prosperous.
