Licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and accepts 41 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Child or Adolescent, Self Esteem and 9 more.
I started this career after raising my children so I have the advantage of wisdom. Life has not always been kind to me but this allows me to relate to so many clients. I have been through much adversity and I feel the most fulfilled when I am helping others. I am kind, non judgmental, and follow Carl Roger's unconditional positive regard.
The first session will be an intake where I gather some background information about you and ask you some simple questions about your presenting issue. If there is time we will begin to talk about whatever is bringing you to therapy.
I believe I am a good therapist because I have a lot of life experience and because I truly care. I will go above and beyond for you.
I love working with children and their parents. Play therapy allows children to use play to express their unmet needs through play which I observe and then share my observations with the parents and we discuss what changes would be beneficial.

Play therapy utilizes play, children's natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.

Stacy takes the time to thoroughly understand her clients before beginning to work through their concerns. She is highly attentive and kind. I believe she is a great fit for me and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive presence.
