Substance Use Therapists in Dover, PA

I have experience with various diagnoses and have worked with clients aged 8 and above. I specialize in trauma disorders, substance use, abuse and dependence, dual diagnosis and borderline personality disorder. I offer different treatment modalities to address symptoms and core issues relating to these issues.

My experiences include working in mental health outpatient and inpatient facilities addressing mental health and substance use disorders. I am most experienced in treating anxiety, depression, substance use, PTSD and trauma.

Working in co-occurring mental health and substance use treatment, over the past two decades, has allowed me to witness change when offering hope to people during challenging times. I enjoy working with individuals who are open to the treatment process and are excited about personal growth opportunities toward healing and inner peace.

This work is meaningful to me because I get to walk alongside people breaking free of painful patterns and moving towards feeling comfortable with life and themselves. As a counselor I have extensive experience in working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain and addictions. I utilize mindfulness-based approaches to help clients cultivate mind-body awareness and create emotional well-being. Getting to underlying issues of shame, loss of control and grief changes lives. When therapy works, there's more than just insight; people feel it in their body as well as in their mind.

Learning to live in the present allows us to experience the beauty that surrounds us, both from within and from the outside world. Anxiety, depression, and unresolved experiences keep us from connecting with ourselves and others, and we end up living life on autopilot. It can be difficult to slow down our thoughts and regulate our emotions and we miss out on all the joy that can be part of our life. We will work on healing from the past, practicing healthier coping skills, learning new tools to manage challenges, and adopting healthier thought patterns. Meditation and grounding exercises are often used in sessions.

I am a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania. I obtained both my undergraduate degree in Science of Nursing (2006) and my graduate degree in Science of Nursing (2012).

I have over 20 years of experience providing mental health therapy to individual's, couples, and families. I believe that you should not be in therapy for years, but should be quickly making the changes in your life to get you out of therapy. The goal of therapy is to help you to determine what those changes are and then to help you take the necessary steps to make those changes.

My passion is to assist people from all walks of life with embracing hope, healing and vision. Individual's and families impacted by addiction's, trauma and mental health issues often have difficulty with finding and honoring their own truth. " To thy own self be true". Healthy living is a by-product of healthy boundaries and consistent self-care. Let me help you to identify and overcome the barriers that are preventing you from living a happy, productive and fulfilled life!

I integrate expressive arts and evidence-based therapeutic practices. I emphasize change and choice through dance and therapeutic practices, awakening the conscious, exploring the past to bridge client’s experiences to their present self. I aim to help clients reconnect to their authentic self by finding compassion, self-acceptance, and a sense of freedom and inner strength. This connection reintegrates the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects into the client’s new narrative.

My ideal client is curious, internally motivated to change, looking for answers, and wanting to heal from their past or present. They are seeking connection with other's or themselves on a deeper level.

My job is to plant the seed of hope so you can envision a happier, more authentic, less stressful life for yourself. You are strong, resilient, and brave for choosing therapy.

When you are trapped within the jaws of addiction, the hope of escape and recovery seems absolutely impossible. Sometimes you are tempted to just "throw in the towel" and surrender to the thought that you are destined to be an "addict" for the rest of your life--that you just don't have what it takes to change. But based on my own personal background, years of hands-on experience, and education, I can assure you that this defeatist feeling is wrong, although understandable.

Having worked in the field of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency and treatment for over 35 years, I lived through the disease of addiction myself. Today, helping individuals and families from all walks of life to be able to receive the help they need I believe that experiencing the horrors of the illness first hand far better prepared me to help those in need than the years of professional training that have followed. Today, fortunate to have lived the past 40 + years in my own recovery, I remain forever grateful to those who cared enough to help me at a time when I could not help myself.
