Therapists in Mckean County, PA

Through my experience working with various populations, all going through some of life’s greatest pains, I aim to provide a safe space for my clients. A safe space where they can explore the complexities of their pasts, the melting pot of their emotions, and the truths of their realities. By utilizing mediation and grounding techniques, we uncover what the authentic self means to each individual and journey towards achieving that in daily life.

Life can be very difficult! Though we will experience some harm no matter how we react to life, how we respond to life, in our thoughts, words and actions, will either increase or decrease the harm we encounter in our emotional stability, in our relationships and in our personal and spiritual hopes. Whether you are a parent needing help with your child, a spouse needing help with your marriage relationship or an individual struggling with distress and/or abusing alcohol or other substances, I would be honored to assist you in solving emotional, relational and behavioral concerns.

My goal as a therapist is to engage authentically, share honestly, and think openly. I have been fortunate to work with people in end of life care, chronic illness, grief and loss, incarceration, addiction, autism, depression, anxiety, trauma, and have spent most of my career supporting youth and families through a variety of life stages and challenges. I provide opportunities for people to engage in experiences that will expand their understanding, explore their circumstances, and develop resources for their unique journey.

Each session is catered towards the individual, to ensure that your therapeutic journey is both helpful and enjoyable. Our goal is to have you feeling good about engaging in therapy, and empower you to become your best self.

You are deserving of peace and happiness. Often times life has a way of throwing us challenges that feel overwhelming and unmanageable. These challenges can make us feel alone, stressed, and unsupported. These feelings tend to stay with us even when we are separated from the challenge itself and leak into other aspects of our life. This then prevents us from focusing on other important life events and the challenges we face may become all-consuming. This can feel as though you are not present and are missing out on the simple joy’s life can bring. You are not alone.
