Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Philadelphia County, PA

Hi, I'm so glad you found my page! When someone starts therapy with me, it's often because they've been having a hard time feeling connected to others or they struggle to be in the moment. Others deal with low self-worth, negative beliefs about themselves, or feeling they cannot get where they want to be in life. In our work together, I want to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your strengths, feel empowered to manage emotions when life feels overwhelming, and build more fulfilling relationships. I take a warm, collaborative approach to getting to know you as an individual and what helps you.

I believe that people are naturally resilient, possessing a deep well of inner strength. Every experience, past and present, is relevant to therapeutic work, and I strive to create a collaborative space to explore the things that weigh us all down. I approach each session with empathy, curiosity and an open mind, and encourage you to approach your own relationships, thoughts, and day-to-day life the same way. My relational approach to therapy is strongly rooted in the psychodynamic tradition, integrating narrative, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to meet the specific needs of each person I work with.

I specialize in working with chronic conditions, mood disorders, anxiety, and life transitions, and I’m also experienced in working with folks who are struggling with trauma, ADHD, grief, and more.

I will work with you to co-create the therapeutic space that serves you best. I lead with compassion, humor, and collaboration and I will at times challenge you when growth is within reach.

My clients come from a wide range of backgrounds but all have one thing in common - a need for support and connection. As a therapist I play many roles: the listener, the supportive cheerleader, the teacher, the witness, the container and more. My goal is to provide a safe and validating space for my clients to explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, memories, and desires without judgment. I am not here to "fix" you - rather, I am here to serve as your guide to wellness and life satisfaction. This process can look different for everyone!

Your relationships are falling apart, you’re anxious all of the time, and your life has become an out-of-control mess. You wonder why relationships have to be so hard and cause you so much pain. People just don’t get it. They don’t get that when you’re hurt, your emotions take over and consume you. You’d literally do anything to not feel that way. In fact, when you have, you ended up feeling even worse and pushing those very same people away. You’re so desperate for people’s approval and terrified that if they ever found out what you’re really like, they wouldn’t want you anymore.
