Hi, I'm Morgan! I'm a Philly-based trauma focused licensed professional counselor with Nourish Therapy & Wellness. My expertise comes from a psychodynamic, relational therapy approach, implementing tenants of Art Therapy, Feminist Theory, Internal Family Systems Model, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-F CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy . I have helped individuals, families, couples from adolescence into adulthood find healing and understanding in desperate situations. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, BPD, codependency, attachment issues, body image & self-esteem.

Hello! Thank you for taking time to learn more about me. My approach to therapy is largely Person-Centered – meaning I respect and honor the capacity that each person has to grow and heal, and that I believe already exists inside of everyone. I draw from the Psychodynamic and Relational modalities. It is in our human nature to connect with others, form meaningful relationships and ultimately, find ourselves changed from them. I believe that by reflecting on and exploring the past relationships and experiences, as well as exploring the relationship within the therapeutic room, we can make deeper meaning of our present.

Trauma. We all experience it at some point in our lives. It’s that thing that keeps you up at night. The thing that you distract yourself from by working extra hours, scrolling endlessly on Tik-Tok, self-harm, addiction, codependency. We run, fight, freeze, fawn, shut-down. Our bodies are built to adapt to the stress in our lives but what happens when the stress is too much? When we run into obstacles like bullying, abuse, illness, separation, loss, disasters? What happens when there is no one to witness our pain? We forget about the parts of ourselves that are creative, brave, intuitive, funny, smart, kind, gentle, strong.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years experience in the field treating child, adolescent, and adult clients in residential, outpatient, and private practice settings. Additionally, I am well versed at providing mental health evaluations and expert witness testimony for clients who are involved in a litigation process. My style is direct yet nurturing. I work in a flexible manner, inviting clients to come alone or bring whomever will support them into their sessions. My ideal client is the one who completes the first difficult step of calling for an appointment.

My hope is for you to leave each session feeling lighter and with tools to help you manage whatever challenges come your way. I am by nature a good listener, empathetic, caring, and have a passion for helping others. It is my priority to create a trusting therapeutic relationship, as this sets the foundation for the work we will do together. I provide a safe space for you to share past & present experiences without any judgement, and together we can work towards understanding how these experiences are affecting your life. When working with children, I use various modalities including play, art, sand, creating, movement & meditation.

I feel it is an honor and privilege to serve as a therapist. Creating a partnership with clients, I work to provide a safe, warm, nurturing and empathic space. My goal as an EMDR therapist is to work collaboratively with clients- creating transformative healing and change, and increasing self understanding and self compassion. I currently have availability for intensive EMDR- individually tailored (half, full or multi day therapy) in person at my Philadelphia location or online (PA and NJ residents).

If you are currently experiencing grief and loss, fear, stress and anxiety or suddenly shutting down and find yourself not knowing why, I can help. I have experience working with a wide variety of population ranging from all walks of life. I work with college students, business professionals and healthcare providers. I will listen to your story with great care and intentionality. My focus is to bring awareness, meaning & connection to making you feel known. I offer therapy to individual(s) and couples. I also provide group therapy.

Do you want to have a deeper understanding of your emotional style and how it affects your personal and professional relationships? I use a cognitive approach to therapy, which is effective in helping clients improve their understanding of themselves. My goal is to provide you with a safe and honest environment in which to do this work. Take the first step to more effective living by understanding how patterns of thoughts affect your emotions and actions -- and what to do about it.

Three beliefs I hold that influence how I practice are 1) human beings are not problems to be solved 2) therapy is ultimately about relationship 3) the process itself is the solution. We humans are infinitely complex; we're full of opposition and paradox. Our culture pushes quick fixes and immediate answers, but lasting change rarely comes about when we work in this way. I'm interested in helping you come into fuller, richer, more conscious relationship with all of your moving and sometimes disparate parts. Together we will work from the inside out through a deep, relational process.

I believe we should all have access to a space where we can be open and honest with who we are and what we need to thrive. It is important to me that I support individuals in cultivating such a space with safety and freedom of feelings, thoughts and emotions. We all deserve a chance to thrive in life and find some sense of peace and understanding of experiences that make us who we are. I am here to challenge any notions that you cannot be your best self and find solace in that.

I strive to create an authentic and safe space through our relationship to make exploring your inner world possible, especially since therapy can be scary and vulnerable. You may be interested in accessing therapy to challenge, explore, and/or question aspects of yourself. While I am honored to witness and join you in this process, I believe that all internal and external forces over the course of our life shape who we are and how we navigate the world. Because of this, I really emphasize non-judgmental curiosity to better understand yourself in a compassionate way, especially if shame, embarrassment, and vulnerability arise.

Change, life transitions and loss can be difficult. Life can often become overwhelming or easy to feel “stuck.” Have you tried traditional “talk therapy” before and found that it did not work for you? I use my trainings to integrate evidence-based and holistic techniques that incorporate Mindfulness, somatic interventions and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help you recognize your unique strengths, values and abilities to help you achieve your goals and create lasting, meaningful relationships.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania and Maine, I've dedicated over 18 years to supporting clients grappling with mental health challenges. Throughout my career, I've served diverse populations and honed expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress, aging concerns, and navigating life transitions. Additionally, I've contributed as a hospice social worker, facilitating grief and loss support groups.

Deciding to begin psychotherapy is one of the kindest and most important choices you can make for yourself. It can be a turning point in your life, but it can also feel scary to talk to someone you don't know well. I work with individuals and couples, providing a warm, safe, confidential environment where I will listen carefully and where we will work together to understand and resolve the issues you are struggling with--both in terms of how they affect your current life and in terms of how they became issues in the first place.

As a parent, it can be difficult to know if or why your child is struggling. For younger kids, behavioral issues such as tantrums, extreme shyness, aggression, defiance, social or school issues are actually signs of anxiety, depression, grief, or low self esteem. We work with kids ages 5 and up, using play therapy and other engaging techniques to connect with your child on their level. Similarly, for adolescents, too mental health struggles can be dismissed as "teen angst." We work with adolescents ages 10-19 struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, ADHD, eating disorders, self esteem and more.
