You are here because you are having a difficult time. I know how overwhelming that can be. It can be intimidating to reach out and ask for help. However, you have already taken a huge first step because you are here. I primarily see clients experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I believe in the power of a supportive, therapeutic relationship. I strive to offer an authentic experience where my clients feel safe, seen, and heard. My hope is to provide you with a supportive, therapeutic experience to foster positive, long-lasting outcomes.

I focus on using evidence based practices to address the issue of addiction, drug use, and underlying conditions. This means I only utilize interventions backed by research. I also work side by side with a physician specializing in addiction medicine to treat opioid use disorder. If you are needing buprenorphine/ Suboxone, please visit www.powdersvillerecovery.com. I use a harm reduction model to help those with active substance use who have not yet made the decision to stop. I practice from a person-centered approach, and will meet the client where they are with whatever issue or stage they are in.

People see you as a high achiever, someone who’s dedicated, dependable, and always delivers. You expect excellence from others, but your expectations for yourself are even higher. You’ve surmounted nearly every challenge you’ve faced and accomplished impressive feats along the way. On the surface, your life looks perfect. You appear to have financial stability, and a loving family to return to every night… Yet, inside, you feel a void. Unfulfilled. Drained. Achieving a work-life balance seems impossible when you’re constantly in the public eye, making it feel like you’re always falling short somewhere.

I am a single Mom of five young adult children (one adopted, two neurodiverse, and one a member of the LGBTQ+ community). I've spent years living and working abroad and in the US. I have experience in the military and first responder communities as well as faith and expat communities. But my ideal client doesn't have to be like me! As a matter of fact, my clients come from all over the world and all walks of life. One thing they often have in common is abuse and trauma in their background, and/or they are going through a season of crisis or transition. All are welcome!

I specialize in children and adolescents ages 6-18 with a friendly, supportive, safe, and family inclusive approach. Growing up is hard, especially in a world that seems to change by the second. Technology, education, and socialization are radically different from what we knew as young people, so it makes sense that you may feel confused about how to help your child with behavioral, school, self-esteem, identity, or other issues that can drastically impact their development and limit their future potential. If you feel that your child or teen needs that support and would benefit from someone to talk to, please reach out.

As a therapist, it is my job to help you understand, discover, and define your story. Our stories create narratives and paradigms that we choose to live by as truth – but not all stories tell truth. Some stories tell lies, distorted truths, and suppress what’s true altogether. I want to untangle your story with you, help you find the truths and light pieces, and gift it back to you in a way that gives you the freedom to live your most authentic life, with vulnerability and courage. With my background in trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders and spiritual counseling, I hope to help you live your best story.

You know how it is possible to get lost when you are walking in a dense forest and don’t have a compass or a map to use as a guide? Well, I help individuals, couples, and families who are feeling lost and confused by functioning as a guide for them. Together, we develop reference points such as how you can build skills, adapt and adjust to stressors, set house rules, talk to each other, and resolve conflicts.

It can be a difficult step to start therapy as it often comes at a time when you are not feeling supported or confident. The path toward relieving your struggles and meeting your goals may be unclear. I have met many clients that often start unsure of what the first move needs to be or have had unsatisfactory growth in therapy previously. For over 20 years I have worked with clients to build a set of tools that they can use to resolve today’s issues as well as to maintain a lifestyle of good mental health. I am interactive, strength-based and ready to discuss with you if I am a “good fit” for your needs.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or struggling with substance use? Are your mood fluctuations becoming difficult to manage alone? Or does life just feel like too much right now, and you don't know why or what to do about it? In therapy, we will create a collaborative space to explore your behavior patterns, gain insight, and make change. Combining psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies we will tailor treatment to meet your needs. Life is a work in progress and I would be honored to help you write your next chapter.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment for you to sort through your concerns and gain insight into your experiences. We will work together to determine a treatment that best suits your needs and preferences. I am trained as a generalist and feel comfortable working with a wide range of concerns. Over the past 25 years, however, I have pursued specific training and experience in the area of eating disorders, to include working in multilevel treatment programs devoted to eating disorder recovery.

Imagine a world where everything is perfect. Life is great; no worries, no stress, no DRAMA!. Now wake up! Life isn't easy. The fears, worries, trauma, and relational issues we carry day to day can keep us from living our lives to the fullest and reaching our full potential. Sometimes we feel our lives are spiraling beyond control. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe space to process life transitions, explore feelings, identify your life's purpose, and help you live the abundant life destined for you.

Life stressors can be overwhelming and life changing. And change is not always easy. Stress can be overwhelming and quickly take over our lives. Stress is often the start pointing of depression and anxiety. Stress makes it difficult to set boundaries, participate in self-care, communicate, and several other factors that drive our life forward. We often find ourselves with a deficit in more than one area of life. It is important to identify and process out the source of the stress be it physical health, trauma, spiritual, family, social, career, finances, or romantic relationships.

You are an overachiever in many ways but sometimes get overwhelmed by life. Figuring out where exactly you fit in the world, finding “your people”, and becoming who you are supposed to be takes love, support, and compassion from ourselves and others to allow us to be our best version. Therapy is a perfect addition to your support system and gives you support and education gained from years of experience and training to manage your emotions and relationships with others effectively. Because it's a lot harder to do that alone.

Hi there! In the midst of life's demands, it's easy to feel emotionally and mentally drained. Balancing roles as parents, partners, colleagues, and caretakers often leads us to overlook our own well-being. It can feel like an endless cycle of battling anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, leaving us feeling stuck in a hamster wheel of stress. While we prioritize relationships with others, it's equally crucial to nurture our relationship with ourselves. If you're grappling with self-criticism or navigating life's transitions while seeking identity, remember: self-care isn't a luxury; it's vital for our well-being.
