Sex Worker Allied Therapists in Richfield, PA

I am fully certified as and EMDR therapist, and within that, Ego State Therapy, the use of parts of the self is most important. Also, the mind and body connection is something that I explore with all of my clients. I had a career of many years out in industry, so that allows me to identify with my clients much more. I have lived a life they are living now and had many of the same difficulties.

I help people make sense of life. My background is in the clinical-health/mental health field, and I'm also an ordained minister. That means my background allows me to assist you right where you are, not by any preconceived ideas of what you should or shouldn't be doing. My primary source of counseling is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or CBT). This is a method of discovering together how the decisions you've made in the past, or the circumstances you've lived through, have brought you to where you are. It's not about blame - it's about helping you to empower yourself to have the life worth living you are seeking.

Experiencing trauma (little and big T traumas) seems to be a part of everyone's life at some point. In my 20 years experience, I see that trauma and chronic stress often lead to, or exacerbate, feelings of depression, anxiety or being "stuck." Being specialty-trained, open-minded and client-needs driven, at MTC, we are able to adeptly challenge clients while also re-building their hope and sense of worthiness so that they may feel good and safe while moving past their comfort zones. (NOTE: Please see the website for my staff's bios. Currently accepting insurances & self-pay clients for my staff.)

All psychological issues are ultimately existential in origin, entailing a confrontation with death, loss, meaning, purpose and value. All that we do (knowingly or unknowingly) is dedicated to deciphering these daunting and irrepressible demands of existence. Few are successful in resolving or even clearly conceptualizing these existential issues and their minds inevitably descend into despair, depression and anxiety. Some seek to assuage their suffering with psychoactive substances (illicit and licit) and this leads only to addiction and abdication of autonomy over one's authentic self. My System offers a solution.

I appreciate the courage it takes to seek help. As your therapist I will strive to have your therapeutic journey feel respectful, safe, and collaborative. I specialize in couples counseling and adolescent issues, however additional areas of skill include those struggling with loneliness, introversion, those seeking meaningful relationships, and with men’s issues. I collaborate best with clients that are motivated to work on making healthy changes in their lives.

I specialize in treating clients with depression, anxiety, autism, stress-induced medical problems, and schizophrenia. I have also worked with people with mood and personality disorders, substance use concerns, and extensive histories of trauma. My work with this wide range of clients has convinced me that all behaviors, symptoms (including many medical symptoms), thoughts, and feelings- no matter how distressing they can be or how puzzling they may appear to others and even oneself- are rich in meanings that can be explored and understood. I believe that therapy is a healing process through which such an exploration takes place.

It has been said that in life, it is not the destination, but the journey that is the important part. That may be true, but sometimes, the journey sure is tough to get through! It is my goal as a counselor to walk with you on your journey as you discover aspects of yourself and the world around you so that you can start living your best life.

Once I have had the privilege of hearing your story, we can collaboratively work together in helping you to feel empowered in achieving your dreams, your goals, and your aspirations.

I'm here to help you explore your concerns and move towards contentment. I have experience working with a wide range of individuals. You will find me to be nonjudgmental and supportive.
