Find a Therapist in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.

I use psychotherapy to help individuals address underlying sources of ongoing painful problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, and chronic problematic relationship patterns. This may include exploring past family dynamics and significant childhood events that have affected development. Increased understanding of the past can often lead to improvement in the present. I recommend tackling problems at their source because this allows the possibility of more permanent and deeper healing than can be achieved by simply addressing symptoms. As past events are gradually processed and resolved, we often feel that an emotional burden has been lifted; we just plain feel better!

Are you feeling hurt, overwhelmed, stuck or lost. Psychotherapy can help. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic which means that together we will seek to understand how, over time, you have learned to perceive yourself, others and the world. I will integrate complementary therapies such as Gestalt, Existential, Cognitive-Behavioral when appropriate as we work together to unearth long standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a full and meaningful life. With clients working through trauma, I provide safe anchors to help you regain a sense of empowerment and balance.

Psychotherapy can help you understand the hidden emotions which affect your everyday thoughts and behaviors. I can help you recognize the underlying fears and motives which drive you to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Whether your pain is rooted in a difficult past, unhealthy relationships or lifelong mental health struggles, healing is possible. I will help you recognize unhealthy patterns that keep repeating themselves in your life, robbing you of closeness with others and inner peace. Then you will be able to grow toward thinking and feeling in new ways and relating to others differently. You don't have to stay stuck in the same painful place; there is hope.

When I work with clients individually, I provide a safe place for them to talk about their problems and move toward finding solutions that will make further treatment unnecessary. .It really shouldn’t be necessary for therapy to go on for years. I am very interactive with people, am a good listener and a firm believer that humor provides needed objectivity to promote treatment. Even though we are talking about personal problems, I examine the family and social environments to provide a context for the client.

All focus on meeting clients where they are at, helping them connect with their thoughts and feelings, and examining ways in which clients want to experience their world differently.

Let’s face it – many children and teenagers don’t like therapy or counseling. It’s boring. It’s uncomfortable. They’re not sure how it’s supposed to work. I approach kids differently than most therapists do. I don’t bombard them with a lot of questions and I don’t try to “get” them to talk with me—an undertaking I find as insulting to us both as it is unproductive. Instead, I introduce a variety of topics and see which ones evolve into conversations that can heal, animate, encourage, stimulate, or inspire. I answer questions, offer opinions, and say what I think is going on without ever trying to muscle any points across. I work quickly, but never rush.

Life is valuable. It is too important not to feel as good as you can as you journey through life. Sometimes issues in our lives in the present come from concerns in the past. At REACH Counseling, we explore what your goals are for your life and how you can reach them all in a supportive, caring environment. We provide an atmosphere where we really listen to you and what you are going through. We help you find your internal and external resources to deal with life's concerns.

Our positive and empowering therapeutic approach lets you build new tools for living, and create the life you want to live. Yes, you can change your world.

We help people effectively use all of our creative, emotional and social resources to develop new approaches to living their lives with others – which enables people to transform their lives and the world.

Psychotherapy can be helpful for a wide array of issues that you feel are stunting you in life. Whether you are dealing with the past or present, mental health issues, relational issues, and so on, I would love to meet with you. My approach to psychotherapy is to take the time needed to understand you as a person (i.e. exploring your past, your relationships, your struggles, what brings you joy, etc.), identifying the challenges that you have that are making life difficult, learning and practicing coping skills and/or how to do life differently, and to empower, support, and cheer you on in the process of change.

Psychotherapy can be a wonderful outlet to find peace and solutions to lifes issues. I help my clients through a practical and solution focused approach. My work is often seen as more coaching and less "therapy". I am experienced in helping individuals with a wide range of personal issues. However, my expertise in clinical work is with addictions.
