Welcome, and thank you for your courage as you take the first step toward improving your mental health. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and I have a private practice in PA. I also counsel students at both Villanova University and Princeton Theological Seminary.
You may be an over thinker. "I should" or "what if" may be phrases that run through your mind repeatedly until you either worry about events that may never happen or listen to a self-critic that is really hard on you. You may be a "strong" person where others count on you to hold it together. Putting your needs on the back burner may be the norm, and taking on more is simply expected. You may not feel like yourself anymore, and you miss the person you once were. You're more anxious or angry than ever before, and your motivation is declining as the days pass.
I work with over thinkers, perfectionists, men issues, relationship issues, anxiety, spiritual concerns, and grief. I use evidenced based models that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I look forward to meeting with you soon as you rediscover you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
