Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

I am PA/NJ licensed clinical social worker with over 20 yrs experience. I received my BA in Psychology in 1994 and my MSW in 1997. Since then, I have worked in various settings including the Behavioral Health System of Philadelphia, numerous behavioral health facilities which include psychiatric units, detox and rehabs, college counseling settings and in assisted living/nursing facilities with older adults. In 2013, I started an in person private practice and then made the jump to telehealth during the pandemic. I find that telehealth is much more accessible and convenient for clients as we are still able to do amazing work!

I am a LCSW with over a decade of social work experience in outpatient clinic, school, university, non-profit and community settings. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents and their families, members of the LGBTQI2S+ communities, working artists, and parents. I have an understanding and dedication to working within a social justice framework, and strive to maintain a practice that is affirming of all identities, experiences and orientations. I believe that any strong therapeutic relationship is built on collaboration, honesty, and the belief that change is possible.

As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than is wrong with you, no matter what is wrong.

Living with depression, anxiety, or knowing something isn’t right but not knowing what to call it can be overwhelming and feel defeating. As a therapist and a human being I have seen the immense strength it takes to make the first step to ask for help and support. Your recovery and healing journey begins with you, who you are as a person and your experiences. I believe that you have immeasurable tools and strengths inside waiting to be discovered. I have been a therapist for the last 10 years providing therapy to adults living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, self-esteem issues and psychotic disorders.

We understand that looking for a therapist is not an easy task. However it is an important first step to making the changes that you want to make. At PeaceTree we utilize a strength based treatment model that is unique to each individual, couple or family. As a practice, we believe that individuals who go to therapy are some of the most well balanced individuals who use support when needed to understand themselves better and strive to develop into the most fulfilled person that they can.

***Offering in-person and/or online therapy and accepting new clients. “We all experience emotional pain at some time in our lives. We will lose those we love through death, divorce or other factors that keep us apart. Others will experience direct or indirect exposure to trauma, abuse, neglect and/or repeated negative experiences in childhood or as an adult. It is normal to experience extreme emotions such sadness and depression, anxiety, irritability, anger, frustration, hopelessness, loneliness and fear. You don’t have to go through this silently, or be alone with your struggles.”

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.

In any psychotherapy the relationship between the client and their therapist is of paramount importance. With that in mind, I prioritize getting to know each person that I work with in a meaningful way as we engage in the process of symptom reduction. I pride myself on being able to build comfortable discussion with adults, adolescents, and children and tailor communication to best fit each developmental stage. When working with families I ensure that each family members' concern is heard and work to join with each member while remaining focused on addressing the issue which brought them to treatment.

I believe that anyone who seeks support should be treated with the utmost respect and care in taking this step to alleviate any distress they are having.I feel therapy is a healthy choice that can bring relief and understanding to most problems. I respect your decision to start to make changes in your life( or in your family) at any time and hope you will give a call to make an appointment. People often feel alone when they face life's challenges and this does not have to be the case

I am committed to working with individuals who want to more fully understand themselves and the origins of their personal unhappiness, distress and suffering, their inability to connect more deeply with others and have successful relationships, their struggles in work, and even their inabilities in having fun! The development of a collaborative relationship between you and your therapist is central in any successful therapy, but especially when doing in-depth therapy, where we will be working towards helping you achieve a deeper awareness of the formative experiences of your life, not only intellectually, but also emotionally.

I combine active listening with creative response as a Gestalt therapist. I do brief and long term work depending on what the client needs. I am seasoned and I care about my clients' well-being.

My goal is to allow client to openly address their levels of fear, depression and issues relating to their disorder. Many factors from past encounters result in high levels of depression and mental health conditions. My goal is to allow my client to address these fears and use my services as a three stage process to function independently with the least amount of medication and therapeutic interventions as possible. My overall goal is to address condition using alternative therapeutic problem solving interventions, while at the same time helping them to make changes based on their current condition.
