Career Counseling Therapists in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA

Take your healing to new heights. Are you seeking a space to explore the “hard stuff”? Have you been struggling to get past survival-mode living? Do you long for a genuine, authentic connection to yourself and others? I work with clients who desire to get to the root of their struggles. Whether you want to overcome your symptoms, process something difficult that has happened to you, or explore cycles and patterns that aren’t serving you, I am here to help.

I am here to help my clients gain a new perspective, heal from past traumatic experiences, grow and learn new coping strategies. If you would like someone to listen, offer guidance, new communication techniques, relaxation breathing, couples or marriage therapy, please schedule a session with me. Having a third party, professional, someone not emotionally connected to the situation, is a real game changer.

Struggles with our circumstances, managing anger, coping with workplace stress, and existential questions are common challenges we face in life. I welcome the opportunity to journey along aside you in these challenges and together discover a richness that has been waiting to be revealed.

***All clients are remote.*** Anxiety and depression affect so many of us every day. Spiraling thoughts, racing heartbeat, inability to sleep, feeling withdrawn at social events--these are just a few examples of how our anxiety gets in the way of our enjoyment and ability to live our lives. Anxiety and depression also increase our stress level and may prevent us from having healthy interactions with coworkers, friends, family members. Think of it this way: if our mind has us focused on the past or the future, how can we enjoy our present relationships??
