Single Mother Therapists in Wayne, PA

Having an eating disorder can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to control your life. I help you or your teenager understand the function their eating disorder has played in their life, and how to create a healthier way to move forward, free of the eating disorder’s rules and fears. When working with teens, I also help parents better understand their child’s experience and how best to support them. While I specialize in eating disorders, I also support clients through parenting, divorce, career transitions, and managing the stressors of everyday life, including break-ups and the often-tricky transition into adulthood.

People create knowledge in relationships. We NEED other minds to hone impressions into skills. We need explicit communication: this is HOW to create knowledge. The risks of self-disclosure are offset with great attendance, courage & proactive participation. It is HOW not WHAT problem is raised that yields solutions. Emotions are priceless data delivery systems; respected, examined & honored. Honest, caring connection buffer high-risk daring sharing. Problems are commonplace, unlike problem solving. Doing things differently creates different outcomes. At OATS YOU will build performance strength or you will be gone. It is up to you.

Having a difficult time coping with stressors? Lashing out on people you love most? Losing interest in things you once enjoyed? I am here to help! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, working primarily with children (ages 6-10), adolescents (ages 11-18), and young adults. I received my master's degree in counseling from Arcadia University in 2016, with a concentration in Child and Family Therapy. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety & panic, depression, personality disorders, adjustment disorders, coping difficulties, ADHD, and family issues.

I work with most ages (12-late 50's), but specialize in adolescents and families searching to improve their relationship with their emotions as well as the most important people in their lives. I utilize a family-orientated approach informed by my experience that no one can truly be understood without the context of their upbringing and important relationships. We'll reflect on the themes from your childhood and how it affects you in the present day. Working through these critical experiences while building skills to manage the feelings in the here and now are key to feeling better and improving your relationship with yourself.

Why see a Counselor? Reasons include: desire to improve a relationship, inquiry about your sexuality, alternative lifestyle questions, difficult relationship decisions, senior sexual health, a need to change attitudes, sexual orientation or simply wanting to enrich yourself with regards to relationship needs. I believe that our sex journey begins at birth, "is it a boy or a girl?" Our gender, our sex messages both positive and negative, our religion, culture and society all affect our relationship capabilities as well as the limitations.

Areas of specialty include: developing communication strategies focused on improving relationships in step-families/blended families, and for individuals and couples. Additional areas of treatment include: counseling divorce/separation and break-up issues, infidelity, restructuring life following a loss, catastrophic event, managing cancer survivorship and developing coping strategies following life transitions (loss of job/graduating from college), supportive treatment for infertility struggles, as well as, treatment for anxiety, depression, and stress. My extensive nursing background, coupled with my Masters Degree therapy training and experience, have given me a deeper depth of empathy and understanding of life's challenges.

My approach involves bringing change about from the inside out. We will work towards understanding how the problems that brought you here developed, what they mean, and the purpose that they serve. This approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms and strives to help you make changes that are deeply-rooted and long-lasting. It has been proven that the therapeutic relationship actually creates healthier connections in your brain. In younger children this deeper type of therapeutic change is often accomplished through therapeutic play. Play is the natural language of children and allows them to express their thoughts and feelings.
