Hi, I'm Lea. I am a licensed clinical and counseling therapist based in Pennsylvania. I have extensive experience treating a wide range of concerns from general life stressors and relational challenges, to more significant clinical concerns such as PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder. A few of my clinical interests include socio-cultural issues, life transitions, identity development, improving self-esteem, improving communication, rebuilding trust, learning assertiveness, treating anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma, and managing difficult relationships.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Expect Results. I aspire to help clients become goal orientated and develop decision making skills. While I am direct in my approach, I am nurturing in nature. I blend humor, knowledge, compassion, and humility in my practice. Therapy is most successful when there is mutual respect and trust between the therapist and client. My goal is to cultivate a safe, supportive, and collaborative relationship so that clients feel in control of their treatment and their process.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I specialize in treating trauma related disorders in adults and adolescents. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT). I am trained in helping parents foster healthier relationships with their children by learning innovative and empathetic ways to engage with their children using Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT). Along with these, I also have experience using Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In my experience working in underserved communities in community behavioral health, I’ve learned to adapt treatment to meet not just clinical needs, but cultural needs of any age, socioeconomic status, race, and gender. Cultural competence is an important tenant of treatment. Being able to understand the person and their role in their world better helps clients access greater understanding of their authentic selves and build the resiliency to create lives worth living.
