Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Welcome! I recognize how much effort it can take just to consider therapy, so I’m glad you’re here. If you are looking for someone who is interested in your experience of the world and invested in building a relationship to help you achieve your goals, you have come to the right place. Together, we will create sessions that are tailored to fit your needs. I will encourage your joy and humor, note your strengths, and meet you in your vulnerability. My therapy approach has been described as empowering, authentic, and dynamic. I value the mind-body connection, building distress tolerance, and deepening our understanding of ourselves.

My clients are adults looking for help with depression, anxiety and relationship issues. Some wish to have more freedom and joy, and less fear in life. I'm trained in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and Focusing approaches. I also use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) which helps clients reach and articulate their helpful, deeper emotions (like healthy anger & grief), to transform unhelpful emotions (like fear & shame) carried over from the past.

I embrace questions of identity and belonging, especially around culture and sexuality. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Spanglish. Prior to TCP, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence and within the immigrant community in Philadelphia in case management and organizing work. I believe that the personal is political and that there is much work to be done to provide access to therapy that is affordable, honoring a person’s culture, and in a person’s preferred language.

People come to treatment for a variety of reasons.I view each person as unique and strive to assist individuals to overcome challenges and meet the goals that are important in their lives. As we work to let go of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that are not useful in the present, new healthier patterns can emerge and be adopted. Treatment is always focused on achieving a greater sense of comfort and satisfaction, psychologically, emotionally physically and spiritually.

My goal as your therapist is to create a safe space where you are able to explore areas of your life that you want to change for the better. I utilize a strengths based and holistic approach to treatment. I believe that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected. The therapeutic relationship is a fantastic starting point to promote self growth and recognition that you are able to implement change. I look forward to meeting you!

In sessions, I provide education to my clients about how our feelings and emotions affect our brains and bodies. Many clients find it validating and comforting to know the effects and causes of their anxiety or depression. I find that incorporating different mindfulness techniques, such as intentional breathing and muscle relaxation, into sessions and into your life can help people feel more at peace and present in their daily lives.

Approaching therapy with an open heart, practicality, and a foundation in research, I believe in optimistic realism. My mission is to help you nurture love in all facets of your life – friendships, self-love, romantic relationships, and more. Together, we'll strive to create a life imbued with contentment and personal alignment.

As a caring, authentic, and compassionate individual, I reflectively listen, teach about different communication styles, and can help you to identify emotions and unmet needs. I can help you utilize coping skills for ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use, as well as learn how substance use often results from traumatic experiences. I can help you to understand the physiological consequences of trauma and how it impacts the body, learn mindfulness practices to restore serenity in daily life, nurture your creative soul (through art, writing, music, somatic therapy such as dancing and yoga, etc), and improve self-esteem

Hello! And welcome to my page! I focus on relationships in my practice, either to ourselves or to others. Our identities are influenced by our many relationships. These relationships can be defined by many aspects; our family of origin, our chosen family, and our outside communities. When our cultural narratives clash, it can disrupt the ways we self-identify and connect with others. I focus on building security and trust in our relationships can improve our ways to overcome the many challenges of life.

Are you struggling with a life transition, stressors, anxiety, or depression? Are you a college student having a difficult time adjusting to their first year in college, a young adult/adult working through career, family, relationship, or personal discovery stressors, or someone who is struggling with depression and finds they have a general lack of motivation?

I take a holistic, existential, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. I recognize that there are generational, environmental, social, political, and cultural factors that impact our day-to-day lives and decisions and believe it's important to consider these factors when learning about my clients and their experiences. When we begin to understand ourselves and our ways of thinking and acting as a part of a larger whole, we can begin to improve the quality of our lives and our relationships, especially our relationship to the self.

I currently ONLY have availability for IFS Level 1 graduates seeking clinical consultation/therapy. Resolving trauma can be a long and difficult process. It is comforting - and essential - to have a compassionate and consistent therapist as you walk the road to healing and joy. With over 25 years of experience and a specialty in treating trauma, I can help provide the roadmap to a healthy resolution. Many clients try to avoid distressing memories, but this is rarely successful in the long run. With the newer trauma-specific treatments now available, perhaps together we can find our way to lasting peace.
