I am a licensed clinical psychologist with years of experience in providing evidence-based therapy focusing on training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and organizational skills training for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
My approach with my clients is flexibly implementing evidence-based therapeutic techniques (i.e., approaches that have been scientifically proven for decades to be successful). I believe that effective therapy needs to help build skills such as understanding and regulating emotions, relaxation strategies, understanding and managing thought patterns and beliefs, communication and social skills, etc. These skills are vital in addressing anxiety and depression.

I primarily work with women professionals and students struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and eating disorders.
Seeking therapy is often a difficult first step in the process of beginning to explore issues that cause you distress. Gaining a deeper understanding of these issues - conflictual relationships, anxiety, balancing motherhood with life stresses, depression - can help you to function better in the workplace and in your personal life. Therapy is a joint process. My goal is to work together to develop insight into the things that are bothersome to you so that your overall well-being improves. I have created a comfortable environment in my Gladwyne office to begin the process of exploring your issues further.

Life hands us some hard things. Loss, disappointment, frustration, confusion, worry, transitions- it is important to honor our experiences, recognize the impact of these situations, and consider how we want to show up in our own lives. How do we focus on what we can affect, and cope with things that we can't change? I am here to help you navigate the process of both living in the present and making the future as good as it can be. I will witness and walk with you through tough times, and help you find your way through.

It can be difficult to find the time and energy to confront the things that make us unhappy, or to simply explore who we are and how we came to be that way. You may feel "stuck" in certain patterns of relationships, and wish that you were more content. You may want to have someone outside of your experiences to help give you perspective on these issues, but worry about finding the right person for that job. I'm happy to meet with you, and to figure out together if we are a good fit.

I have worked with clients with diagnoses ranging from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
I believe that everyone is unique in their own way and that everyone's personal background brings a unique perspective. I aim to explore that perspective and help guide client’s in a place where they feel safe and comfortable. This allows for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. I create an individualized treatment plan for each client and help them develop realistic and attainable goals. Psychoeducation is an intervention I often incorporate and I tend to put an emphasis on coping skills, self care, and healthy boundaries, as they are all a very important piece of the healing and growing process.

I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.
To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself.

Life can be increasingly difficult to manage in our current social and economic environment. It can feel increasingly difficult to cope with life’s stressors as we struggle with our relationships as well as our own feelings of self-worth. Feelings of depression and anxiety can easily take hold of us, becoming increasingly dangerous to our wellbeing. There are times that it becomes increasingly important for us to have someone to turn to for support in times of despair. The way we feel about ourselves very often defines our relationships with others.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
