Are you someone who is conscientious, careful, sensitive and want to succeed, but sometimes feel like getting through the day is too hard? Do fear, worry or sadness hold you back from the life you could live? We all encounter rough patches in life when we find ourselves stuck or feeling held back by an obstacle placed in our path. Therapy can empower us with the tools to overcome those obstacles so that we can move forward strengthened and better prepared for the future.

So often we may find ourselves caught in patterns of busying, avoiding, and distraction only to find ourselves anxious, down, exhausted, and stuck. Individual therapy is carved out time for yourself where you can notice habitual patterns, design new thoughts and attitudes, cultivate self-compassion, create space for healing, and access your own wisdom and strength that resides in you. I use a multifaceted approach that promotes a sense of curiosity and self-awareness. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and body and mindfulness-based models.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides individual, and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in the greater Philadelphia area.

Whether you are facing relationship issues, stressful life circumstances, or processing the aftermath of upsetting experiences, I hope to provide a space that is both judgment free and healing.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges.

I am passionate about collaborating with you to provide evidence-based treatment that meets your needs. I use a cognitive behavioral approach (CBT) with a systemic lens to always consider the context in which a person lives. I believe that individuals are shaped by their experiences, as well as their interactions with the significant people and systems in their lives, and we have to take that context into account when addressing your problems to create the change you want to see. I work with my clients to identify what's getting in the way of living the life you want and help you learn strategies to overcome those challenges.

Are there times in your life when you find yourself reaching for a life goal and just can't seem to get there? You know something is in the way, but you just can't put your finger on what it is.

Or maybe there's conflict with a spouse, a family member, or a close friend. Whatever the reason, psychotherapy can uncover the mystery so you can live your life in your most productive, satisfying, and gratifying way.
