Hi, Welcome. I am so glad you are here. I know how hard it is to take this first step. You may have recent or past trauma, symptoms of irritability or just not feeling yourself lately. That’s okay. I am hoping you and I can create small achievable goals to help get you relief. I have been working with children, adolescents, young adults and adults for over ten years. I have a strong knowledge base of resources in the Delaware county and Philadelphia area. My orientation for treatment is trauma based, focusing on rapport and safety, then gently exploring how our past experiences shape our reactions and relationships today.

As a therapist I am inquisitive, honest, and casual in my communication. Exploring new perspectives and challenging thought processes allows for establishing a foundation to support healthier relationships with ourselves and others. Through a collaborative approach, I will work with you to create a space to explore yourself further. In asking you to show up authentically and honestly, I promise to do the same. A focal point of the work I do is to highlight vulnerability and honest communication as the crux of any relationship. Together, we will process through personal or relational issues, anxiety, depression, and much more.

Life can present us with challenges at any age. Each of these times can be an opportunity to grow and make changes. Therapy can provide a safe place for self exploration, understanding, and acceptance. At times, therapy can be anxiety provoking when we think about being vulnerable to someone we do not know. Allowing youself to be open to this process can lead to long-term benefits of coping, resiliency, and healing. I will join with you in the therapy journey in a safe and comfortable environment.

Perhaps you’ve been feeling overwhelmed with sadness, worry, or grief? Maybe you need to break generational patterns? Or you and your partner can’t seem to connect anymore and are having the same argument over and over? For 24 years, I’ve worked with individuals and couples to help them heal wounds and find joy lost due to trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and difficulties in relationships-including infidelity. When we work together, you can gain a sense of agency, increase your emotional awareness, develop skills to find stability when you feel overwhelmed, improve communication in relationships, and honor your authentic self.

I am a licensed social worker committed to honoring each person's unique perspective and experience. I am committed to supporting you by offering a warm, inviting space where no thought or feeling is too shameful or irrational to share. I typically incorporate a Strengths-based approach using compassion and humor in my work.

I offer experienced professional care based on over 40 years of experience with teens, adults, families, and seniors. My practice focuses on creating a relationship with clients that empowers them to live a life worth living. I am a meditation teacher from the Zen tradition. I offer meditation to reduce stress and develop insight into ways to live a fulfilling life. I also provide a well-rounded approach using a combination of the most effective evidence-based approaches to psychotherapy.

My entire career, I have worked mainly with teens, young adults and families. I believe strongly in the power of the relationship and work hard to help families connect in an honest and genuine way with their kids. I have a fundamental belief that most people do their best, have good intentions and want to be loved and appreciated. With this in mind, I believe strongly in the work I do and services I offer. I provide individual, family and group therapy and focus on helping people better listen, trust and connect with one another despite the diagnosis or symptoms.

It is my belief that beneficial treatment for all kinds of emotional difficulties lies, most importantly, in a therapeutic relationship. This way of working is informed by my psychoanalytic training, which involves listening, and then, reflecting back to you what I hear. By using this process, I can assist you in learning to hear yourself, and then, to use your newly acquired self-examination skills to make decisions, and analyze your feelings in a way that makes sense to you. Your gaining clarity is my goal in any treatment we undertake, and I look forward to beginning work with you.

Life is often filled with many challenges that can feel overwhelming. I strive to provide a supportive environment for you to share your story, explore your thoughts and feelings as well as learn techniques to manage your symptoms. I have a strong foundation in Trauma-informed practices and have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, having worked with children, teens, adults and families. I hold a Trauma Certificate from Drexel University Behavioral Healthcare Education and am a Certified Trauma Competent Professional through Lakeside Global Institute.

I work with those who feel disconnected from their original self, to reconnect and experience full-body, heartfelt, vibrancy in their life. I work from the perspective that our psyche is purposeful and always working to heal us. Often, our inner voice, innate wisdom, and desire to move toward greater connection with ourselves and others gets lost in the pain and struggle of life. Instead of being a strength, we lose contact with our deepest, truest self. I seek to co-create a therapeutic space where clients can explore their lives, deepen their self-awareness, create a sense of inner spaciousness, and reconnect with forgotten parts

You deserve to be happy. Therapy doesn't have to painful. I want to find out about you and help you find the solutions that work for you. Life is too short to be in bad relationships, or to let trauma control us or to be anxious and angry all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain, able to deal with life on life's terms, and to find meaning and purpose in your family, friendships, work, spirituality and all other life's areas. During my 24 years as a therapist I have helped individuals, couples and families find healing and understanding.

Sometimes on our journey we need an objective guide. I can help you manage problems involving "big feelings” that otherwise overwhelm. If your goal is to start getting new results for old recurring problems we can do that with compassion and curiosity. It is important to explore our personal history to understand why we think or behave the ways we currently do. While personal growth isn't always painless, you don't have to be alone in the process if you have a therapist who will commit to the process along side of you. I can help you gain new perspectives that will get you to solve problems effectively.
