Adults Therapists in Lancaster County, PA

I work with primarily preteens, adolescents, and adults. My main focus of treatment is working with clients who are struggling with emotional issues, whether they are situational or due to a diagnosed mood and/or personality disorder. Additionally, I specialize in treating clients who have both emotional issues and substance abuse problems. I have worked in the mental health and addictions field for the past 20 years and feel that most substance abuse issues are the symptom of an underlying emotional problem. Music therapy is a modality I offer to clients who may struggle with traditional "talk therapy".

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults (18+) as well as Ecotherapy approaches and concepts. Accessing therapeutic effects from nature is of great help to attain balance, effective coping, rejuvenation, and personal insight. Ecotherapy can be a key add-on to the immense healing that CBT can provide. Online telehealth sessions focus on what you want to ADDRESS and remedy (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, relationship troubles, parenting, self-esteem, addiction, panic/phobia, aging, and more). as well as how to COPE with challenges, uncertainty and distress.

It’s hard to express yourself in an environment full of expectations, bias, and judgment. Can you imagine how freeing and peaceful it is to not have to carry such heavy thoughts and emotions alone?

If you are looking to feel good again, to stop stressing and worrying all the time, to improve your sleep and mood.....you are looking to Change Your Mind. What happens in the mind also happens in the body; there is no separation. Prolonged stress, anxiety, sleep issues, depression and other emotional conditions affect your physiological health. Treatment focus is the mind-body connection, and how significantly they influence each other and our overall well-being. Mindfulness and other techniques have been shown to create changes in the brain that enhance mood, memory, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, decrease pain perception, and much more.
