Sexual Abuse Therapists in Paoli, PA

With over 30 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy and a background in nursing, psychology, and clinical social work, I bring a unique perspective and keen insight to the relationship between physical and emotional health. I am committed to meeting individuals where they are, respecting what is important to them, and guiding them on their journey toward a healthy and fulfilled life.

Making the decision to seek the support of a therapist is a very personal process and often occurs when one wants to change an aspect of life. I work collaboratively with clients to build a trusting and compassionate therapeutic alliance, interweaving my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT) with my background in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to make the counseling experience educational and empowering.

I work with teens and adults to provide a safe space to step out of the chaos of life and sort through current struggles. I help with stress, anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, low self-esteem and self-worth, self injury, and trauma. I am a support to help work through day-to-day difficulties, career and school challenges, breakups, difficult relationships with family and friends, and major life changes. My work as a trauma therapist, family therapist, and high school counselor, has allowed me to support my clients through life's various obstacles.

When working with clients, I strive to tailor each session to meet my clients where they are, and serve their needs as best suited for them. I work with clients to navigate their way through various issues such as: intimacy, gender identity, sexual dysfunction and function, variations in sexual expression, trauma, communication, codependency and anxiety. I specialize in treating pelvic floor dysfunctions.

My approach to treatment is one of compassion and collaboration. My goal is to develop a positive working relationship with you and help create a space in which you can begin to better understand yourself, resolve problems, and heal the past. My approach is practical, down to earth, and individualized to your needs. Therapy doesn't have to be mysterious or scary. I enjoy working with those who are new to therapy and want to help you feel comfortable and in control.

As a therapist for 25+ years, I believe it is important to recognize a person's strengths to help them deal with emotional difficulties when they occur.

I enjoy working in collaboration with people of all ages and diagnoses to achieve their mental health goals. Being trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy I have a wealth of knowledge in teaching coping skills to help a wide variety of diagnoses.

Do you often feel like you are threading water, instead of surfing above it? Are you doubting that you are not where you want to be in your life?
