Top in-person Pennsylvania children therapists who accept cash payments

I am licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have 10 years of professional experience working as a school counselor and recently started as an outpatient therapist as well.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Have you been feeling lonely, disconnected or not like yourself? Maybe there are issues from the past that you haven't dealt with that you would like to heal without feeling overwhelmed. Possibly you feel swept away by your emotions and don't know how to get them under control. Perhaps you are feeling stuck, frustrated or tired. Oftentimes these issues can lead to anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues. My specialty is in helping you identify & address the root issues, develop the skills to deal with those issues, while getting in better relationship with yourself. With over 17 years of experience in psychotherapy, I specialize in treating issues related to trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, spiritual & religious abuse, chronic illness/pain, eating disorders and traumatic loss. If you are requesting Christian counseling, you have the option of integrating meditation, prayer or scripture according to your needs and interests or can explore faith-based counseling.
