Therapists in Quakertown, PA

My professional career has always centered around mental and behavioral health. I have seen and been a part of amazing community efforts to empower the lives of individuals living with a severe and persistent mental illness. Working as part of the assertive community treatment (ACT) team allowed me to step into the homes of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar I, schizoaffective disorder, substance use disorders, and major depressive disorder. I understand how challenging it is in multiple aspects of life, including maintaining relationships and jobs that are vital. I have also worked in inpatient facilities as a psychiatric registered nurse and have a lot of clinical experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner assisting children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, conduct disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I know the process is challenging for both the parents and children trying to navigate their diagnosis. But we are not our diagnoses. And, it is okay to reach out for help when needed. I feel confident in assisting those across the lifespan in managing medication that can change this narrative. I will conduct a personalized initial intake, take my time to ask your goals, and begin medication that is right for you.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. You're taking a big step for yourself. My main ways of thinking that I lean towards are: compassion-focused, psychodynamic, attachment styles, and emotion-focused. I've been described by clients as patient, having a positive unconditional regard, and being able to challenge them to help them take steps toward growth. This process isn't always easy. My goal is to create a place where you can feel seen, safe, challenged, and supported, so that we can create lasting change. My approach leans toward being more direct and inquisitive, but with compassion. For releasing emotions, beliefs and trauma from the body I use the somatic and neurological technique of Brainspotting.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my BSW in 2014 from Kutztown University and then my MSW in 2019 from Widener University. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have experience working with clients who have depression, mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, trauma and grief/loss, auditory and visual hallucinations, self harm and suicidal ideation. I have worked with various mental health conditions and populations and enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I hope to foster an environment where you can feel safe and open to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and work on learning new and healthier ways to express and cope with your emotions and stressors. I believe in starting where you (the client) are and that it is important that we work together as a team while working on the goals that you feel are the most important for you to work on. The modalities I use most often are CBT, DBT and mindfulness approaches and I advocate for self care and learning new and healthier coping skills. I often promote self care practices, as I believe self care is vital for us all. It is often very easy to overlook self care. When we do not take care of ourselves, this can lead to feelings of burn out, anxiety and depression. I also like to teach clients about mindfulness, meditation, breath work, relaxation and coping strategies.I believe whole heartedly that compassion and empathy are vital not only in therapy but essential to being human. I believe that everyone deserves compassion, kindness and forgiveness and I believe it is not only important to give these to others but also to ourselves. I invite you to spend some time today engaging in much needed self care.

This creates a safe environment where people feel heard, accepted and validated. I utilize a great deal of basic psycho-education, behavioral skill building and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Other training I've had include family/marriage therapy training, EMDR and a host of other evidence based modalities. Additionally, as needed I incorporate indigenous mindfulness practices and Qigong for a wide range of issues. I work from a holistic, person centered position and engage with you to build a collaborative relationship around your strengths and interests. I am able to provide concrete steps forward to improve your mental health and day to day life. Please reach out so we can get started on this journey!
