Find a Therapist in Eddystone, Pennsylvania.

Let’s face it – many children and teenagers don’t like therapy or counseling. It’s boring. It’s uncomfortable. They’re not sure how it’s supposed to work. I approach kids differently than most therapists do. I don’t bombard them with a lot of questions and I don’t try to “get” them to talk with me—an undertaking I find as insulting to us both as it is unproductive. Instead, I introduce a variety of topics and see which ones evolve into conversations that can heal, animate, encourage, stimulate, or inspire. I answer questions, offer opinions, and say what I think is going on without ever trying to muscle any points across. I work quickly, but never rush.

Are you feeling hurt, overwhelmed, stuck or lost. Psychotherapy can help. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic which means that together we will seek to understand how, over time, you have learned to perceive yourself, others and the world. I will integrate complementary therapies such as Gestalt, Existential, Cognitive-Behavioral when appropriate as we work together to unearth long standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a full and meaningful life. With clients working through trauma, I provide safe anchors to help you regain a sense of empowerment and balance.

Our positive and empowering therapeutic approach lets you build new tools for living, and create the life you want to live. Yes, you can change your world. Social therapy is not about getting into your head, but getting into your life. It is a psychology of becoming. We help people effectively use all of our creative, emotional and social resources to develop new approaches to living their lives with others – which enables people to transform their lives and the world.

Therapy is designed to be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can focus on your own needs, values, and priorities. In addition to listening, offering guidance, and responding with empathy, I partner with my clients to set goals for our work, explore what's been helpful before (and what hasn't been), provide resources to reinforce new skills, and share information to help you better understand yourself and your unique needs. Therapy clients who work with me gain practical skills that improve their lives, and they feel more empowered to solve problems.
