Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community."(Brene Brown) I truly believe that this philosophy represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy. Providing a supportive and safe space for the process of healing to occur is of the utmost importance to me as a psychotherapist. My goal is to help my clients integrate their experiences in order to feel more at peace in their lives. I foster a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment to assist clients to focus on issues such as grief/loss, couple relationships, work stress, addictions, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is client-centered and honors the relationship between the psychological and the sacred. I utilize various methods including cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychodynamics, mind/body connections through mindfulness practices and imagery, motivational interviewing and couple/family dynamics. As an LMFT, LCSW and LCADC, my approaches to therapy reflect over 46 years of working with clients, as well as university teaching, and post-graduate training. My work is informed as well by my own life cycle experiences with relationships, balancing personal life and work, as well as with life's inevitable setbacks and losses. I work collaboratively with my clients, helping you to function optimally "out there." Together we will work towards restoring your sense of well-being, and revitalizing your journey forward.

Find a therapist near you in Madison, Pennsylvania

Finding a therapist near you in Madison, Pennsylvania starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Pennsylvania is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Pennsylvania, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Pennsylvania, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Pennsylvania

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
