I am licensed in PA with experience in treating adult or teen depression, anxiety, helping families heal/reconnect, parenting, coping with grief and loss, PTSD, burnout and creating a work-life balance. I also specialize in vicarious trauma. I work with workers/therapists/nurses who work with traumatized children who have a hard time separating their work and personal life.
The sessions will be a combination of you having space to talk about whatever is on your mind, plus I have 100s of topics/activities we can do to work on your goals. Sessions are safe for us to go in any direction you want. We will explore Emotion-focused therapy, CBT and/or family-systems therapy based on the areas you hope to explore.
In our first session I like to understand what brings you to therapy and what you hope to get out it. That can be difficult to answer, so we can start there. I also like to do a brief family tree (called a genogram) to get an initial understanding of you and your family.
