Therapists in Exton, PA

Sometimes life gets heavy. You can end up feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, and alone. When you feel anxious or depressed, you want relief. I can understand and support you. I want you to know it can get better! Working together can be the start of living the life you want. My goal is to get to know you (or you and your partner), provide compassion, and a safe space where we can work together to reach your goals. Reaching out is the beginning of your path to well-being.

It takes courage and bravery to admit that something does not feel right. Stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationships can negatively impact your life. You have taken the first step to feeling better by looking at this profile. I hope that you are willing to come a little further and call. I hope to create a calm and safe place with you to explore your thoughts and feelings and experiences. We can work together to help you find a better and healthier mental and emotional place.

Are you facing challenges related to women's issues, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, postpartum stress, post-partum anxiety, new parenthood, struggles with your partner, or other family relationships? My focus is on supporting women navigating life transitions, helping them become the healthiest versions of themselves. Through exploring your history and behavior patterns (including past emotionally distressing events), we'll collaborate to develop personalized strategies for your growth and fulfillment.

I believe each person can process past and current life struggles to find healthiness and peace in their life. I provide my clients with a warm, comforting, safe, and nonjudgmental space to process life challenges. Therapy can be a place to process past distressing events that might contribute to your current functioning. Often we have the tools within ourselves to make these changes; I can help you identify your strengths and implement those into your life.

My office is currently accepting new neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) clients, but please be aware that my talk therapy/EMDR schedule is currently full.

My ideal client is motivated. I have been a licensed psychologist for 19 years. I graduated from Villanova University and worked as a cognitive therapist at the University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Hospital before opening my own group practice, Addiction & Psychological Therapy. The group specializes in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive thinking, OCD, ADHD, depression, marital and family counseling, alcoholism and crisis clients, treating children, adolescents and adults. I also have a forensic program treating Anger Management and DUI's. We offer ARD & IPP Evaluations, Anger Management Evaluations, Drug and Alcohol Assessments and Mental Heath Evaluations, and Suboxin treatment.

Change begins with one step. I look forward to partnering with you, so you're not alone on the journey towards growth. When you are ready, we will work together at your pace, nurturing growth with awareness, insight & skills, while learning to embrace & integrate your unique experiences as valuable pieces of the larger whole. As your awareness opens, your view becomes broader & clearer, helping to shift your perspective. In 'aha' moments, crucial understandings can be life changing, helping to clear a path forward with what's been in the way, keeping you stuck from momentum towards wellness, acceptance and improved relationships.

We all sometimes struggle with stressors in life. They can be big or small, but at the end of the day we benefit from getting some help. My goal is to provide a safe supportive environment where you can learn to challenge your negative thoughts and become more confident and secure in your life. Together we can confront issues that impact your daily life, from anxiety and depression to issues related to sexuality and identity.

Are you looking for a therapist for your child or adolescent because they seem down, anxious, or having trouble managing relationships or stress? Being a kid right now is so challenging, and having additional support from a therapist can be invaluable! Maybe you are looking for help for yourself. Maybe you are a parent struggling in that role. Or, maybe you are trying to heal your own wounds from experiences you had early on in life. Maybe you'd like to heal so you can feel better, more present, and less anxious in your here and now.

Grief can be an intricate and isolating experience for People Pleasers. The constant desire to please others adds a unique layer to the tasks faced during the grieving process, often leading individuals to disregard their own needs and emotions. You do not have to navigate this journey alone. We will embark on a compassionate and nonjudgmental narrative approach to address the tasks of grief. In our sessions, your goals to restore balance to your entire being—mind, body, and spirit—will be our focus, and one step at a time, we will work towards fostering healthy relationships and enhancing self-advocacy.

I am a professional licensed therapist welcoming any individual who is seeking counseling for their first time, as well as those who have had counseling before. Focused to listen, empower you, and guide you to discover your purpose. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be painful topics and issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy that fits your needs. Remember, you are worthy of love and belonging!

Skeptical about therapy or that things can change? I was too, before I saw a therapist myself. I too have experienced the societal stressors and family life issues and come to this work eager to empower my clients that you too can experience sustainable happiness. Do you over function, not feel good enough, feel stuck, or feel misunderstood? Do you wish you could say what you really feel versus what comes out when you are upset or frustrated? Are you or anyone else concerned with your drug or alcohol use, not understanding why? Would you like to be able to see the patterns you have been stuck in, so that you can find a better way?
