In Person Therapists in Ardmore, PA

As a mental health professional I understand that mental health is vital, not only for the clients I work with, but also for their families and communities. I have a strong interest in helping others, which is why I choose this career path. I received my Bachelors in Psychology from Arcadia University and my Masters in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College.

Individual Therapy provides an opportunity for a deeper understanding of our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It can be a challenge to find a therapist who understands the deeper parts of you, your story, and your life. You want someone who can be supportive yet directive. In our work together I will provide a safe space for exploration and growth.

Therapy is a powerful tool of discovery that helps you see yourself, your relationships, and the world through new eyes. It is exercise for the mind that helps us become emotionally flexible and prepared to weather the storms that life inevitably brings. Usually things work, until they don’t. And people come to therapy when things have stopped working. Through careful and gentle inquiry, we can usually unravel what isn’t working, and help build a new way forward. Often the fit between therapist and patient is the big factor in therapy effectiveness. So, how you feel when you talk to the prospective therapist is an important guide.

Telehealth Ready: I am very interested in quickly discovering a person's needs and preferences. My style combines compassionate listening with active and direct problem-solving. I appreciate humor and transparency, which augments a comfortable therapeutic relationship. I find that humor helps clients to feel more at ease when they are discussing very difficult topics. I have a broad range of experience, particularly with trauma and anxiety disorders. However, I greatly enjoy working with all kinds of individuals and couples. My experience includes hospital employment, university employment, consultation, and private practice.

I conduct neuropsychological and psycho-educational evaluations with children and adults. I assess for psychological/psychiatric and brain-related issues, including traumatic brain injury and concussion, toxic exposure, such as lead poisoning, ADHD, learning disabilities, dementia, stroke, anoxia, epilepsy, etc. I also assess patients who are involved in litigation and I serve as an expert witness in court.

Much of my success in working with children has come from my ability to effectively establish a strong therapeutic relationship. I give children a safe place in which they can effectively express their feelings. Boundaries are extremely important in this process. My patients know that what they say in my office stays in my office. I work collaterally with families to help address a child's needs, without violating the trust or the boundaries we have established. Much of my work has been with children who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, and learning differences. Many of my patients have a combination of these issues. I

Whether you are seeking assessment or psychotherapy, I will treat you and your concerns with honesty and respect.

As a Jungian analyst, my approach focuses on one's unlived life as expressed continually through dreams, fantasies and other symbolic material. By actively engaging this material and understanding its symbolic message, as well as demonstrating its relevance for life lived now, suffering can be dramatically alleviated and a more meaningful, more balanced, and spiritually satisfying life becomes possible. Many consult me specifically for my Jungian orientation but many come also who are not familiar with this approach but who are referred for psychotherapy and profit from it because of its focus on healing and transformation.

Life transitions can be tough. Whether you are a young adult transitioning to life on your own, a parent whose child is exerting their independence in the teen years, relationship issues in marriage, divorce, or caring for aging parents; life throws us all curve balls from time to time that can leave us feeling paralyzed, and not knowing what to do or how to respond. I can help you process your situation and give you the confidence to move forward with courage and dignity.
