Clarks Summit, PA 18411
My practice, which includes myself and two associates, provides Psychotherapy, Counseling, and Psychoanalysis for Depression, Anxiety and Fears, Interpersonal Problems, Family & Marital Conflict, Eating Disorders, and Hypnosis (for smoking cessation).
My orientation is to help a person grow beyond his or her legacy and to resolve underlying issues and conflicts, in order to assist one in becoming a healthier human being. Successful treatment helps someone work through particular difficulties to a [significant] enough degree so that he or she is not doomed to repeat mistakes, symptoms, and less healthy ways of engaging with the world. The potential personal growth can lead to [meaningfully] improved interpersonal relationships, overall adaptation, and contributions to and enjoyment of life. This psychotherapy takes place in a concerned, supportive, nonjudgmental, safe environment with the utmost confidentiality.

Archbald, PA 18403
Specialties & Interests: Mood disorders, Marriage & Relationship Issues, Personality disorders, Trauma, Women’s Sex Disorders, Attachment/Inner child work, Stress & Emotional Regulation.
As a psychodynamic therapist my approach to therapy looks at how trauma, past relationships, core beliefs, and attachments have shaped a client's present behaviors and thought processes. The goal in my therapy is to discover what we need to heal in order to grow and prosper- and then how to begin the work. If you feel like you don't know where to begin and as if you're "stuck" in the same patterns and self-defeating behaviors, you're not alone. If you're ready to take the next step in your healing, I'd love to help guide you. I specialize in marriage & relationship issues, personality disorders, and trauma/mood disorders.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
