Therapists in Pennsylvania

I specialize in helping people navigate challenges related to aging, illness, caregiving, and grief & loss. If you are seeking psychotherapy, I will work with you to explore how your thoughts and behaviors might affect your relationships and well-being. I will help you assess your emotions and empower you to meet the goals you set for yourself. My approach is relational and psychodynamic. However, during my assessment, I will work with you to understand your goals and preferences and may incorporate aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or other modalities to best meet your needs.

Do you struggle with feelings that affect your relationships? Do you put your needs at the bottom of your to-do list? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed while trying to find their place in the world. Ignoring your needs and giving too much of yourself can lead to long-term issues for the mind and body. Therapy is a perfect way to learn more about yourself and take control of your life. I specialize in working with adults who are motivated and ready to learn more about themselves. Are you a caregiver for someone with a chronic illness or dementia? I have vast experience helping caregivers cope with life's challenges.

Many people ask themselves, "Is it all in my head? Do I need help?" Parents often ask, "Is there something wrong with my child, or am I just worrying too much?" I specialize in the evaluation and treatment, as well as comprehensive psychological testing, of children, adolescents, and adults experiencing behavioral, emotional and developmental challenges. As a psychologist in private practice, I work with my clients, be they adults or children and their parents, to identify areas of concern, develop specific goals and plans to address them, and to enhance the strengths and resources families already possess to improve relationships, reduce stress, and increase success.
