**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS- Please call (725) 502-1525 to schedule an appointment. Please note I do not offer online booking on my website without first speaking with the client.** I offer individual, couple, and family counseling for adults, adolescents, and children. I provide a wide variety of different models and treatment options including EMDR, CBT, Narrative, attachment therapy, and child-centered play therapy. Before becoming a therapist I worked as a teacher, and my background in education gives me an active, creative approach. Regardless of the age of my clients, I like to incorporate practical examples, hands-on learning experiments, games, and worksheets into whatever goals we are working on. My style is most consistent with what is known as "experiential therapy," which is all about activating core emotions, learning to communicate needs, avoiding suppression of feelings, and differentiating between thoughts that come from the self and thoughts that come from outside pressures placed on a person. I like to mix experiential methods with concrete behavioral changes, such as DBT (Dialectical Behavioral) strategies, that provide practical step by step instructions.
