Career Counseling Therapists in Kensington, Philadelphia, PA

Are you dealing with Thirtysomething Panic? Thinking about a career change? Not sure how to turn your dreams into reality? Feeling intense pressure to "figure it all out"? We may be a perfect fit. My specialty and mission is coaching 30somethings who are not who or where they want to be in their careers, relationships, and lives. I'll be your partner in change. You are not alone! I'll guide you to find clarity, move through fear and overwhelm, create a plan with manageable steps, and get beyond talking and into action to create the life you want. If you're ready to get started, the first step is to schedule an introductory session.

There is no singular or prescriptive approach to emotional wellness or recovery. However, together, we are able to define what works best for you. I believe that therapy is one of many powerful tools that can assist in bringing us back to a place of unconditional self-acceptance.

Healing from trauma, setting healthy boundaries, and caring for yourself in an unjust world are transformative, radical journeys, and I'm here to help guide you through them. I specialize in providing care based in a trauma-informed, liberation framework. I strive to create a space for all clients to feel safe, seen, and supported. I believe therapy is political and I don’t shy away from the impact that our government’s history, its policies, and practices have on our mental health. Together, we'll explore the intersections of your experiences and identities as we work to reach your goals.

Thanks for visiting my profile! I specialize in adults (college - 40's) dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship & career challenges, ADHD, OCD, panic attacks, and trauma. My approach is first to understand your struggles and perspective. And, as needed, supplement your instincts with clinical tools/ insights. I draw from modalities such as CBT, humanism, IFS, attachment theory & mindfulness (see Treatment Approach below). I'm also trained in Positive Psychology—aka. the scientific study of happiness. As such, I aim to help clients both (1) overcome challenges and (2) optimize passion/ well-being in their lives.

Do you find yourself talking about the same things each week in therapy, feeling like you’re getting nowhere? You’ve accomplished a lot in life but don’t feel the sense of fulfillment you expected. You’re someone who wants to go deep and evolve but still find yourself facing the same problems over and over. A big life change—maybe a breakup or new job—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy or content as you want to be. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You’re ready to make a change, know yourself on a deeper level, and live a more meaningful life.

Do you feel alone in the world, like there is no one who understands? Do you wish you could find a clear path, but wonder what that would look like, or how to find it? I will work closely with you, helping you navigate the storms of life that can make one's path more challenging. I can help you reconnect to your inner guidance, so you can place your feet more solidly on the ground. I believe we all have the ability to tap into our own inner wisdom. If you feel your voice or intuitive knowing has been silenced, I will work with you to find it again. If you are searching for your calling, I will help you listen.

I view the mental health recovery process as similar to climbing a mountain: the first steps may feel overwhelming at times, however, therapy is a partnership where I can provide tools that help my clients get where they would like to go, while also building resiliency and strength for the future. Throughout the process, I will provide encouragement and at times, remind you to look back at how far you have come. Furthermore, I provide a non-judgmental and empathic space for this journey to occur.

Being a human comes with all sorts of challenging and rewarding experiences. Sometimes, those experiences are overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally exhausting. I believe that people are resilient and have the ability for change. My approach to therapy is collaborative, with a focus on self-exploration, increasing insight, and empowering a person to be the best version of themselves.

I believe therapy can be a universally rewarding practice that can help navigate through life's stressors. Especially in the last few years, we see how important it is to take care of ourselves and find support. It can be overwhelming and intimidating even trying to find a place to start. My goal is to help you navigate through obstacles and barriers you may experience in order to start looking forward to the future. You are the expert on your thoughts and experiences, and we will work together to find solutions that best fit your needs.

I believe that therapy is a healing space. A space that allows us, when ready and prepared, to explore patterns and acquire insights about ourselves. In life we encounter different challenges in every season. Therapy will offer you an opportunity to emerge from these difficult seasons and achieve growth, renewal, healing, and flourishment. My mission is to provide a space filled with feelings of hope, safety, and trust that will allow others to undergo positive life transformation through a shared therapeutic journey.

I am a relationally oriented psychotherapist offering treatment to those living in NY, PA, and NJ seeking relief from emotional suffering. I practice from a contemporary psychodynamic orientation, paying careful attention to the ways in which our sociocultural experiences inform our psychological development. I regard symptoms as opportunities for growth when approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect. I am committed to building an energetic and collaborative therapeutic relationship that can help you better understand your motivations and needs, and experience a more authentic connection with yourself and others.

Life transitions offer opportunities for growth and emotional healing. I specialize in helping people cope with anxiety, depression, grief and loss. Managing health conditions including cancer, infertility and chronic illness are among my areas of specialization.

I aim for a counseling style that is warm and collaborative, providing a non-judgmental space for you to develop greater insight about yourself and your life with a trusted ally. I have a background in working with college students and particularly enjoy working with young adults and LGBTQIA+ individuals of all ages who are navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety and trauma.
