Therapists in Easton, PA

Have you been struggling with depressive or anxious thoughts, negative views of yourself or not knowing how to deal with life stressors? Sometimes the hardest step is to admit that you need guidance and direction, but getting help can be the first step to feeling better. I am here to provide a non judgmental, calm and productive environment to help move past that first step.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or stuck? I understand that reaching out to a therapist can be scary , but I am here to provide you with support and validate your feelings.

I have worked in community mental health for over 10 years and have found that we all struggle at times and benefit from the support of others. I have a great deal of experience in the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety, crisis, life-transitions, stress-related disorders and vocational counseling. I work with each individual to develop a goal plan that is person-centered and based on their strengths and abilities.

Life can be challenging but it doesn’t have to be exhausting. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment to help individuals process struggles / concerns and help get a better perspective on life. Having a safe place that provides unconditional, positive regard can help an individual to grow and express their best self. I believe in treating the whole person; not just focusing on detriments but also strengths and acceptance of both. My holistic approach includes a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Cultural Sensitivity. I have experience working with individuals with ADHD and learning disabilities and an undergrad degree in Special Education. Furthermore, I have significant practice working with individuals with clinical anxiety and depression, mood disorders, personality disorders and psychosis

I work with clients who struggle with trauma related issues, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar and addictions. My approach is to help my clients help themselves by first establishing trust and security within the therapeutic relationship. In working with my clients, I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. As a former yoga teacher, I focus also on the mind/body connection in helping clients heal and thrive.

OVERCOME THE OBSTACLES that lead to depression, anxiety, and cause inaction. Get your life back on track. Since 1998, I have provided psychotherapy services to hundreds of teens and adults in the Lehigh Valley. My clients report improved mood, less anxiety, more satisfaction in relationships, and progress in reaching goals. The pressures of daily living can affect your ability to cope with stress. I can help you unravel the thoughts and feelings that are causing distress. I can help you gain control over the issues that impact your life.

***not accepting new clients and I am only able to accept telehealth cases going forward*** I practice with adults and teens. I specialize in ADHD, Autism, academic functioning, and anxiety. Additionally, I have extensive experience with LGBTQA individuals. I have an approach that includes a heavy emphasis on behavioral approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis. I also integrate existentialist approaches that focus on creating meaning in your personal and professional life.

I take a very non-judgmental approach to therapy preferring to work alongside the client and conjointly focusing on the best treatment modalities to fit their needs. I move at the pace that is best for them, taking an eclectic approach to really tailor treatment to the specific individual. My ideal client is anyone pursuing the very best life that they can achieve.

I believe that listening is crucial in counseling; listening not just to words, but also for feelings. Sometimes people seek therapy to clarify their thoughts and emotions; or they may be looking for specific strategies to find relief from worry or sadness, or for help with a relationship. My experience and training in multiple modes of psychotherapy allows me to help people with these concerns. While starting counseling may seem scary, it can be the first step toward feeling happier and less worried.

I work well with mood problems, anxiety, substance use problems and trauma. I also enjoy helping clients who are struggling with low self-esteem, codependent relationships, and those uncertain about their purpose or direction in life. If you're feeling lost, therapy can help you to find a sense of meaning.

Reaching out to a professional takes courage. We all deal with hardships at different points in our lives and at these times, it can be difficult to feel heard and understood. Whether it’s related to struggles with depression or anxiety, a challenging life situation or past trauma, I am here to provide support and compassion to assist in making positive changes and empower you to find personal growth and healing. My goal is to help individuals grow in awareness of their thoughts, emotions, strengths and personal histories so they are able to meet challenges and reach their highest potential.

We understand life can be challenging at times. Everyone faces moments in their life that test their resilience. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or have been a victim of trauma, I am here to help. With guidance and support, we can identify and unpack destructive patterns, increase self-awareness, and learn to find comfort and peace in your life. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for us to discuss your struggles and work to find a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

We all go through difficult times while taking this journey through life. Therapy can be an effective way to help us learn new coping skills to manage our stressors. Whether you are currently experiencing an increase in symptoms due to present life circumstances, or are struggling with residue from the past, I can utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to help you reach your fullest potential. These services are provided in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I specialize in post-traumatic stress disorder, women's issues, mood disorders, stress and anxiety, marital and family difficulties, grief, eating disorders, addictions, sexuality issues, and group therapy.

No one escapes conflict, challenges and pain in this life. You might find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety, grief from loss of a person you love or life transition, conflict in a relationship or possibly recovery from an addiction. Together, we can explore the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your pain on your path to healing.

What sets me apart from other counselors is my ability to meet the client “where they are” Whether that is a client with a severe & persistent mental health disorder or a client that I only meet with for a few brief sessions to help them work through a “tough period” in their lives. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy which has been proven effective in changing thought process and/or behavior to get more out of life. Simply stated – life isn’t black OR white and we often miss the importance of approaching things from a “gray point of view”.

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming. My goal is to listen, understand and assist you on your journey through life. Together we will decide your direction ... creating boundaries, building bridges, and experiencing all life has to offer, while laying to rest negative and painful habits.

Are you seeking treatment, but finding it very difficult? The decision to seek treatment is often very difficult, yet a necessary choice. For the last 28 years I have been providing a non-judgmental arena to work on a variety of issues to include but not limited to addiction, anger, gambling, co-occurring disorders, behavioral concerns, depression and anxiety.

I like to work with a broad range of clientelle who prefer a straightforward approach. I work with individual clients and at times, host couple/family sessions to assist in the treatment of the individual. I accept many commercial insurances. My waitlist for Pa Medicaid spans over a year in length, so I am NOT accepting new Medicaid referrals. I work with clients exhibiting symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma. As a US Army Veteran, I have a keen understanding of the military culture and concerns of military personnel and their families not often seen in the private sector.

True change comes from within, I believe that no one should have to figure out life alone. I help individuals live to their full God-given potential. If you are tired of living in a rut of disappointments and the desperation of not knowing how to move beyond the circumstances you find yourself in, reach out to me. If you are struggling with setting healthy boundaries, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related lack of focus or organization, making poor choices, and unhealthy patterns toward relationships, or find yourself distant from God, reach out to me. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish and I want to walk alongside you.
